European Luxury Fabric and Wallpaper Brands: The Finest Textiles and Wallcoverings from Britain, France, Italy and Beyond
European design has shaped the world of luxury interiors for centuries. From the legendary textile houses of England and France to the sophisticated mills of Italy, Belgium, Germany, Scandinavia and Spain, European fabric and wallpaper brands continue to define what exceptional interior materials can be.
At The WorkRoom, we make these extraordinary European design resources accessible to interior designers, decorators and homeowners throughout the United States. Our extensive selection includes luxury European fabrics, designer wallpaper, wallcoverings, upholstery textiles, drapery fabrics, velvets, linens, silks, trims and passementerie from many of Europe's most important design houses.
Some collections can be purchased directly through our website, while others are available by request because certain luxury and to-the-trade brands restrict online display or pricing. You can explore our complete luxury designer brand directory, browse thousands of designer fabrics, or discover our extensive collection of luxury wallpaper and wallcoverings.
British Luxury Fabrics and Wallpaper: A Tradition of Pattern, Color and Decoration
Britain remains one of the most influential centers of textile and wallpaper design in the world. British interiors have always embraced pattern with confidence, combining florals, stripes, botanical prints, velvets, embroideries and richly layered wallcoverings in rooms that feel collected rather than overly coordinated.
Few brands embody contemporary British color and pattern more completely than Designers Guild. Founded by Tricia Guild, Designers Guild has become internationally recognized for expressive color, painterly florals, sophisticated textures and coordinating fabrics and wallpapers.
The Designers Guild family available through The WorkRoom also includes William Yeoward, whose textiles reflect a relaxed interpretation of classic English decorating, along with licensed collections inspired by the Royal Collection and English Heritage. English Heritage fabrics and wallpaper are especially compelling for interiors inspired by historic British houses, archival floral patterns and traditional English decoration.
Another cornerstone of British design is Cole and Son wallpaper, a name synonymous with distinctive wallpaper design. Cole and Son's extraordinary archive and contemporary collections range from traditional botanicals and architectural motifs to imaginative statement designs. Its celebrated collaborations include Fornasetti for Cole and Son, bringing the surreal Italian imagination of Piero Fornasetti into beautifully produced British wallcoverings.
Osborne and Little has also played a major role in British interior design, combining strong pattern, sophisticated color and international influences across fabric and wallpaper. The related work of Nina Campbell offers an elegant, unmistakably British point of view that can move easily between traditional country-house decorating and sophisticated urban interiors.
The British textile tradition continues through GP and J Baker, one of the country's historic decorative fabric houses, together with brands and collections including Baker Lifestyle, Threads, Mulberry Home and the distinctive work of designers associated with the GP and J Baker portfolio.
For another expression of British pattern, Liberty Fabrics brings the unmistakable floral artistry of Liberty London into interiors. Liberty prints are instantly recognizable for their intricate botanical drawing, expressive color and extraordinary detail.
Traditional English decorating is represented beautifully by Jean Monro, whose fabrics celebrate classic floral chintz and the enduring appeal of the English country house. Colfax and Fowler, Jane Churchill and Fox Linton extend that British tradition with everything from elegant prints and understated upholstery textiles to luxurious woven fabrics.
The WorkRoom also provides access to Christopher Farr Cloth, whose artist-driven fabrics and wallpapers bring a more modern, graphic dimension to British textile design. Other distinctive British names represented through our site include Andrew Martin, A Rum Fellow, Blithfield, Molly Mahon, Neisha Crosland, Paolo Moschino, Veere Grenney and Matthew Williamson, each approaching pattern, color and interior decoration from a different perspective.
For luxurious silk and decorative textiles, James Hare represents another important British resource, with collections ranging from elegant plains to embroidered, textured and decorative fabrics.
French Luxury Fabrics and Wallpaper: Pierre Frey, Casamance, Élitis and More
French interiors have long been associated with exceptional textiles, refined craftsmanship and an effortless ability to combine historical references with contemporary sophistication.
Among the most important French houses available through The WorkRoom is Pierre Frey. Pierre Frey is internationally celebrated for fabrics and wallpapers that draw from an enormous range of artistic and cultural influences, including historical archives, traditional weaving, folk art and contemporary illustration.
The Pierre Frey universe also encompasses celebrated French decorating names such as Manuel Canovas, known for exuberant color and internationally inspired pattern. Explore Manuel Canovas fabrics and wallpaper through The WorkRoom for designs that bring a distinctly cosmopolitan French point of view to upholstery, drapery and walls.
Casamance represents a more contemporary side of French luxury. Its fabrics and wallcoverings combine sophisticated colors with velvets, jacquards, embroideries, sheers, natural textures, panoramic designs and decorative wallpaper.
For interiors that favor extraordinary surface treatments, Élitis is one of Europe's most innovative luxury wallcovering houses. Élitis is particularly known for dimensional textures, unusual materials and wallcoverings that often blur the distinction between decorative surface, textile and art.
Nobilis provides another sophisticated Parisian perspective, with luxury fabrics and wallpapers ranging from elegant contemporary textures to decorative patterns informed by French interior tradition.
Métaphores brings a particularly refined approach to French textiles, emphasizing exceptional fibers, nuanced color and sophisticated construction. Houlès, meanwhile, is one of the great names in French passementerie and decorative trimmings, producing braids, cords, fringes, tiebacks and other finishing details used in highly tailored interiors.
French fashion also intersects with interior design through Christian Lacroix Maison fabrics and wallpaper. The collections translate the unmistakable Lacroix vocabulary of exuberant color, historical references and theatrical pattern into sophisticated decorative textiles.
Italian Luxury Fabrics: Dedar, Etro, Decortex, Colony Roma and Fornasetti
Italian interior design brings a different energy to European luxury: exceptional manufacturing, fashion-informed color, sophisticated texture and an instinctive understanding of material.
Dedar fabrics are among the most sought-after contemporary Italian textiles in high-end residential design. The Milanese house is renowned for its rich velvets, elegant woven fabrics, refined plains, sheers and highly sophisticated use of color.
Fashion and interiors meet beautifully in Etro fabrics. Etro's distinctive decorative vocabulary brings the Italian fashion house's love of paisley, expressive color and global references into luxurious interior textiles.
Decortex offers another expression of modern Italian textile design, with sophisticated materials developed for refined contemporary interiors.
Colony Roma brings the elegance of Roman design to fabrics and wallcoverings, creating interiors that feel luxurious without relying solely on traditional ornament.
Italian decorative imagination is perhaps nowhere more recognizable than in Fornasetti, whose iconic imagery appears in the Fornasetti wallpaper collection for Cole and Son.
The WorkRoom's European offering also includes Missoni Home, translating the famous Italian fashion house's energetic zigzags, stripes and color combinations into interior textiles and decorative surfaces.
Belgian Luxury Wallcoverings: Arte
Belgium has become an important center for sophisticated contemporary wallcovering, and Arte stands among its most influential brands.
Arte wallcoverings are known for extraordinary texture, dimensional effects and the inventive use of materials. Collections can resemble woven fibers, carved surfaces, natural materials, metal, stone and handcrafted decorative finishes.
For homeowners and designers who want walls to contribute as much texture as the furniture and fabrics in a room, Arte offers one of the strongest selections of luxury European wallcovering available today.
German and Central European Textile Houses
Germany's contribution to contemporary luxury textiles is defined by technical excellence, sophisticated weaving and an especially strong tradition of modern interior fabrics.
Zimmer and Rohde is a major European textile house offering luxury fabrics with an elegant, highly refined aesthetic. Its collections combine contemporary weaving and subtle color with materials appropriate for sophisticated residential interiors.
JAB Anstoetz is another major name in European interior textiles. The JAB portfolio encompasses a wide variety of luxury furnishing fabrics, textures and decorative collections and is a major resource for designers seeking European upholstery and drapery materials.
Chivasso is also represented within the broader JAB Anstoetz world, bringing a younger, more relaxed and contemporary sensibility to European textile design.
SAHCO, another important name appearing within The WorkRoom's luxury brand resources, is known for sophisticated textiles with a strong modernist sensibility and close connections to the wider European design world.
Scandinavian Luxury: Kvadrat, Boråstapeter and Sandberg
Scandinavian design offers a compelling contrast to the more decorative traditions of England, France and Italy.
Kvadrat is one of Denmark's most internationally important textile companies. Its fabrics are known for extraordinary woven construction, exceptional color development and collaborations with leading designers, architects and artists.
Kvadrat textiles work particularly well in modern and contemporary interiors where the texture and quality of the material itself becomes a major design element.
Sweden contributes two extraordinary wallpaper traditions through Boråstapeter and Sandberg wallpaper.
These Swedish brands demonstrate why Scandinavian wallpaper is so sought after: natural imagery, botanical motifs, sophisticated small-scale pattern, restrained color and designs that feel equally comfortable in historic houses and clean contemporary rooms.
Spanish and Continental European Design
European luxury is not limited to Britain, France and Italy.
Gaston y Daniela, represented among The WorkRoom's fabric and wallpaper brands, brings a sophisticated Spanish decorative tradition to interiors through patterned textiles and wallcoverings informed by historical and international influences.
The broader European selection also includes Vescom, a Netherlands-based specialist known especially for architectural and contract-oriented wallcoverings and textiles, along with other European houses whose work crosses the boundaries between residential decoration, hospitality and architectural interiors.
Mindthegap adds another distinctive European voice with expressive wallpaper and textile collections rooted in storytelling, pattern and richly layered decorative imagery.
European Trims and Passementerie
A beautifully designed room does not end with fabric and wallpaper.
European decorative traditions have long treated trims as an integral part of interior design, particularly for draperies, upholstered furniture, pillows and custom furnishings.
The WorkRoom provides access to luxury trims, including the celebrated French house Houlès and British silk specialist James Hare, alongside other leading decorative trim resources.
Braids, cords, borders, fringes and tassels can transform a relatively simple textile into something highly tailored and distinctive, making passementerie one of the easiest ways to introduce traditional European craftsmanship into a contemporary interior.
From English Country House to Contemporary Milan
What makes European luxury fabric and wallpaper so compelling is that there is no single "European style."
An interior inspired by English Heritage fabrics and wallpaper may celebrate archival florals and historic British pattern. A room designed around Dedar may instead focus on sumptuous Italian velvet and restrained contemporary color.
Casamance can bring modern French elegance, while Arte wallcovering transforms walls through texture. Kvadrat can create a cleaner Scandinavian environment centered on woven material, while Jean Monro can produce the layered floral character associated with classic English decorating.
The common denominator is not a particular look. It is design quality, textile expertise, craftsmanship and originality.
Layer European Fabrics and Wallpaper Together
The most memorable interiors rarely depend on one pattern or material.
European decorating traditions are particularly effective when different surfaces are layered together. A luxury floral fabric might be paired with a subtle textured wallpaper, while a rich velvet upholstery fabric can be balanced with lightweight linen or sheer drapery.
For traditional rooms, explore damask fabrics, chintz fabrics and traditional wallpaper.
For a cleaner European interior, consider linen fabrics, textured woven fabrics and understated wallcoverings that rely on texture rather than large-scale pattern.
