From the Paddock to the Parlour: Capturing the Burghley Vibe with Lucie Annabel
As the equestrian world turns its attention to the magnificent grounds of Burghley House, we can't help but feel inspired by the quintessentially British country estate style. The crisp air, the thundering of hooves, and the impeccable country fashion all come together to create an atmosphere of timeless elegance.
But what if you want to bring that feeling home? The good news is, you don't need a stately home to achieve the Burghley look. Our Balmoral Collection is designed to do just that. Infusing your home with the heritage, charm, and understated luxury of the British countryside.
The Heart of the Hunt: 'At The Races' Wallpaper
The highlight of any equestrian event is, of course, the horses. Our 'At The Races' wallpaper captures the exhilarating spirit of the event with its beautiful, repeating pattern of riders and horses. Available in rich, classic colours, it's a celebration of country life and a nod to the majestic sport. Whether you choose the tranquil Laurel Green, the earthy Pine Green, or the sophisticated Warm Grey, this wallpaper creates a sense of movement and rustic charm that is perfect for a living room, hallway, or even a child's bedroom. It’s the perfect way to feel "At The Races" every single day.
Layering the Look: The Balmoral Tartans and Checks
The secret to classic country style is in the layering—and that's as true for interiors as it is for a well-put-together outfit. The new additions to our Balmoral Collection introduces a range of patterns that are perfect for creating a warm, layered look.
Royal Tartan: The ultimate expression of classic British heritage, our new Royal Tartan pattern is perfect for a feature wall in a study or a snug. Its rich, interwoven colours add a feeling of tradition and cosiness.
Herringbone Tartan & Royal Herringbone: For a more subtle take on the traditional, these patterns offer the beautiful texture of a herringbone weave combined with a delicate tartan or a stately check. They provide a refined backdrop that works beautifully on all four walls, adding depth and sophistication without overpowering the space.
Royal Check: This timeless check pattern is a versatile classic. It can be used to complement other, bolder prints, or on its own to create a clean, elegant look that will never go out of style.
Weaving it All Together
To get the full Burghley House country estate look, don't be afraid to mix and match. Pair a striking 'At The Races' feature wall with our Royal Herringbone on adjacent walls. Use our Royal Tartan in a smaller space to create a jewel-box effect, or create a serene, airy feel with the simple elegance of our Royal Check.
The Balmoral Collection isn’t just about wallpaper; it’s about a lifestyle. It’s about creating a home that feels lived-in, loved, and rooted in the timeless beauty of the British countryside. Just like a well-worn tweed jacket or a sturdy pair of leather boots, these patterns bring comfort, character, and a touch of that elegant country spirit to your very own home.
So, as you watch the riders take on the cross-country course, think about how you can bring a piece of that magic into your own space. With Lucie Annabel, the Burghley House look is closer than you think.
