It’s been a busy week in these parts as my youngest prepares to go off to school. In the midst of shopping and packing for her new school experience, I was delighted to learn something new this week as well. I actually discovered the beautiful Ananbô panoramic wallpapers a while back but when I accidentally revisited them this week, I took that as a sign it was time to share. Taking inspiration from the past, the papers are painted entirely by hand, then scanned and printed in their Bordeaux workshops.
The results are reminiscent of classic 18th century landscape painting. Whether the chic monochromatic appeal of grisaille as in this Scène d’Orient
and Campaign
or the colorful landscape of Lake,
or the exotic appeal of Bengale,
you can be assured they will enhance any style environment. Campaign adds so much depth and detail to this rustic chic vignette
There is a large selection of scenes and of course everything can be customized. More recent additions include The Garden with Pink Flamingo
Benares
and the more contemporary and graphic Garden View.
A chic installation can be seen in La Chartreuse du Château Le Thil in the heart of the Graves vineyards at Smith Haut Lafitte in Bordeaux.
But I’m sure as you are perusing the site you will be inspired to think of creative uses of your own.
Really beautiful, I have seen these before, but I didn’t know what they were called, thank you for the enlightenment.
I loved seeing your blog this morning. My aunt travelled extensively in the 50s-70s and saw Panoramic Wallpaper in a hotel in the south of France. She realized it was the perfect treatment for her dining room walls and would unify her home in a way she had always wanted. She said it was like bringing the Mediterranean home. She returned to her home in rural Indiana with a plan and mission. I remember well, all the discussions, planning, ordering samples from the European designers and the final reveal of the most wonderful dining room I had ever seen. She said she could image the sea was just past the veranda. We would stand and drink our tea in the evenings and she would say,”on a night like this, can’t you just smell the sea.” Thank you.
this is my favorite comment in my 12 or so years on the internet!
what a cool Aunt! Take the south of France back to rural Indiana! Sheesh!
What a lady!!! WOW!!!!
I bet you did “smell the sea” when you were at her house!
I am serious……this is delightful and special. I will print this out and save it forever!
These murals are truly wonderful! Thank you for sharing. I love the previous comment of how the.murals brought the Mediterranean home. Growing up in Texas I remember a stunning mural in my grandmothers kitchen installed by Ida Merle Berry which had fantastic shades and subtleties of green and violet. It made the space magical!
Thank you for the introduction; these are stunning. I love the contemporary grisaille ‘Garden View’ and the bedroom installations have given me some ideas.
These are gorgeous for the master or the entry! I adore the flamingo amidst the scenery!

Thank you for sharing this company. I love the many different ways we can bring the feeling of nature into the home. The old masters seemed to do it best! And now, with these new printing technologies, the possibilities!
Can you imagine Campign, Scéne d’ Orient or Landscapes of the lake covering a chest of drawers! No matter how they are used they are stylishly chic and enviable.
Hi there! You have given us all a treasure of a resource!
YOWZERS!! Thank you solo much!
I will be using this company!
Fantastic!!
