The History of Laura Ashley’s Damask Designs – Tatton, Annecy & Josette

In this article we will be diving into the history books to see how some of the Laura Ashley Damask designs have been conceived and become popular designs amongst Laura Ashley’s loyal customers.

Traditionally a Damask design is a reversible pattern woven into fabric. It can also be used to describe monochromatic floral designs as found in the designs we are looking at below.

Tatton

The design was born from an antique piece of wallpaper, which was bought by Laura Ashley Ltd from another design archive. First launched in Autumn Winter 2008, the vintage design has been re-established as a modern classic.

This romantic design is available as wallpaper and would look stunning in any room – be it the living room, dining room or bedroom, it will ooze sophistication and style. I also think it has quite a regal feel about it!

Tatton is a adaptable pattern, currently available as a wallpaper in 17 different colour variations. It is this adaptability that has seen it become part of the Laura Ashley Decorative Glass collection, which adds a touch of class to the glass in your windows and doors from Anglian Home Improvements.

The design is available as a positive or negative and in Anglian’s Silvermist, and as you can see below it can provide you with ultimate privacy and plenty of light.

Annecy & Josette

These two designs have been inspired by antique pieces and are heritage designs – they’re both absolutely gorgeous too!

Annecy is a stylised floral pattern looking lovely on clothing, wallpaper and furniture alike. Its pattern has quite a Victorian feel to it, which is why it complements Anglian’s Traditional range of Classic doors so well.

Josette is another wonderful example of a versatile Damask design and although we covered Josette in our last Laura Ashley article, we had to mention how stunning it is once again.It’s another design that looks great in a positive or negative effect in Anglian’s windows and doors, and has been a staple in Laura Ashley’s collections over the last decade.
