We think the smallest spaces deserve to be pretty, too. 🌿🐿️🐌🐝🍀🥀🇬🇧

Newton Paisley creates beautiful and unique fabrics and wallpapers, all designed and hand-drawn by conservation biologist, Susy Paisley.

This pattern is composed of English species suggested by the imaginary species in Dr Suess’s The Lorax. The humming fish are represented by great crested newts, the precious truffula trees are clover flowers whilst the playful barballoots are the red squirrels. The bees which also feature in a companion print are short-haired bumblebees – a wonderful conservation success story as they were extinct in the UK but acres of flower-rich meadows were planted in Kent, the bees were reintroduced and now buzz about with other rare bees benefitting from this rich habitat. Other flowers include several species of clover, Pheasant’s eye, crested cow-wheat, Stinking iris, whorled millifoil, Carthusian pinks, Herb Paris, wintergreen and blossoms of a rare old English breed of apple. Great great grandfather snail is the lagoon spire snail (thought extinct, but recently found in Chichester harbour).

Each design tells stories of neglected and endangered species, and, even better, contributes towards the preservation of critical wild habitat. For every metre of fabric sold, 100m2 of wild habitat is preserved through our collaboration with World Land Trust.
