HRH The Prince of Wales with Little Greene MD David Mottershead

Little Greene’s environmentally friendly paints and wallpapers were once again chosen to decorate the ‘Prince’s House’ at this year’s Ideal Home Show. The Prince of Wales made a very special personal visit to the Little Greene stand to take a closer look at our paints and papers. Managing director David Mottershead introduced the prince to our most recent wallpaper collections ’50s Line’ and ‘Retrospective Papers’.

Delighted with the royal visit, David said “The prince was genuinely interested in the new wallpaper collections and particularly referred to the methods of printing and the environmental credentials of the collections.”
The philosophy of the low- energy Prince’s House is to use materials of the highest quality and craftsmanship, made in the UK. The Arts & Crafts interior used a palette of thirteen beautiful Little Greene shades based on a range of neutral colours to give a sense of flow through the house. We are delighted to have been chosen for the project for the second year and to sit alongside the other companies with the same shared values.

Little Greene stand at Intirio, Belgium.

Fresh from a great show at Maison & Objet in Paris, the Little Greene team packed up our stand and made the short trip over the border to exhibit at Belgium’s premiere event for the interiors industry, where our new Oriental Papers continue to make a splash (unlike our paints!).
