Olenka

Designer wallpaper and fabric inspired by traditional folk art. Designed and made in England.

Olenka’s designs are inspired by traditional Russian Khokhloma folk art, perhaps the most popular type of Russian folk craft in Russia and is also well recognised worldwide for its intricate floral patterns and rich colours. Olenka’s wallpaper collection “Russian Fairytale” is a new take on Khokhloma with contemporary colour schemes. The original patterns were hand painted by our designer/founder Olga.

Florence Vintage Green 💚

This elegant wallpaper design was developed by using only two calming green hues 💚

The whimsical floral pattern is created by allowing the shimmering base to come through, resulting in a lovely, lace-like effect that is very subtle. Perfect for a sophisticated space that is both warm and elegant 💚

Living room transformation 🤩

Thank you to the lovely couple for choosing Milana Graphite Blue wallpaper for their new home💙

Rather than using wallpaper on the chimney breast (the most obvious solution), they decided to paint it instead and use the wallpaper on the adjacent walls, creating two cosy reading/relaxation corners.
I love how this sophisticated design adds depth and character to the living room! The wallpaper looks stunning paired with Love in the Mist No. 95 eco paint by 💙

Good morning 🌞

I took some time off over Easter school holidays, a much needed break, and I'm so glad I did 😊 Morocco was amazing! It was sunny, warm, and very colourful ❤️💙🧡

One of the highlights of the trip was a visit to the Medina of Agadir. It's a truly magical place. The city's original medina was destroyed in the 1960 earthquake; this recreation was built in the 90s by Moroccan-born, Italian architect, Coco Polizzi. I loved the winding little alleys, the stunning architecture, the lovely little shops and galleries, the colour and the patterns. This place has such a good vibe, I would love to go back some day!

Back to work now with new energy 😊 And hopefully Summer is on its way in the UK ☀️😎

Black Friday..

If you've been following me for a while you know I don't run promotions. However, this year I've decided to make an exception. I'm doing it for my followers who love the products but wish they were a bit more affordable. Unfortunately I can't afford to lower my prices permanently. The ever increasing manufacturing/other costs mean the best I can do is to freeze them next year(still thinking about it).

So if it helps anyone I'm offering 20% off all wallpaper and 15% off all fabric 24-27th November.

Also I'm going to discontinue a couple of old wallpaper designs once I sold all the stock.The discount on those products is higher. Link to the website is in the bio 🔗

If you think someone might be interested please feel free to share/tag that person.
