ABOUT ANNIKA REED STUDIO

At Annika Reed Studio, wallpaper and fabric set the scene, a visual soundtrack for your home, full of story, character, and craftsmanship. Every design is created using the traditional craft of woodblock printing, a slow and considered process that brings richness and depth to modern interiors.

Based in Frome, Somerset, the studio is a small but growing creative business that produces wallpapers and fabrics to customers worldwide. Inspiration comes from theatre, folklore, Victorian oddities, and the lion outside the studio, fleeting moments that transform into timeless patterns. Every piece is made to order in the UK.
