House of Hackney Review
About House of Hackney
“Have nothing in your house that you do not know to be useful, or believe to be beautiful.” In an age of minimalism, William Morris’ quote may seem outdated, but for those maximalists who still exist, it says it all.
When you want decor that’s of luxury, Victorian-style with a modern twist that suits your outgoing personality, the House of Hackney is the place to go.
The House of Hackney has almost 30k Facebook followers and another 276k on Instagram. They are constantly getting mentioned in the media across the globe, including Elle Decor, Forbes, People, Town & Country Magazine, and Good Housekeeping, to name a few. My House of Hackney review aims to take an in-depth look at this luxury interior design brand to see if they are worth your money before you buy. I‘ll check out their products, promotions, customer testimonials, FAQs, and more.
[CTA button to shop House of Hackney]Overview of House of Hackney
When Frieda Gormley and Javvy M Royle set out to decorate their townhouse in Hackney, London, UK, they wanted something different from what was on offer from interior designer companies.
Not just different, but very different. They wanted to express themselves in their home but boring magnolia prints and minimalist designs were not their personalities.
To design the home of their dreams, they decided to create what they needed like wallpaper, fabrics, and eventually furniture. Since their personalities were bold and colorful, so were the designs that they came up with.
Drawing inspiration from British designs of Victorian times made popular by William Morris, they gave their designs a modern twist.
Although we may believe the British to be conservative and grey, many have defied the norms, as have House of Hackney.
Launched in 2011, it quickly became a very popular British brand, with beautiful designs of paisleys, flowers, animals, and leaves on boldly colored backgrounds. They draw from nature and enjoy being whimsical.
Starting online and with a store in London, House of Hackney now has a Manhattan location. It is also sold through select high-end interior design boutiques globally.
Before my House of Hackney review takes a look at some of this brand’s bold designs, let’s take a peek at what makes them special:
Highlights
- Bold, fun, beautiful designs
- Timeless patterns and images
- Unique designs not found anywhere else
- Lets you express yourself at home
- Exceptional customer service
House of Hackney Wallpaper Review
With almost 70 different designs to choose from and numerous color choices, House of Hackney wallpaper has something for everyone. Patterns range from bright flora to whimsical fauna and even a few more subtle stripe designs that use bold colors.
All their wallpapers are free of PVC and made with eco-friendly materials. On top of that, for every roll sold, this luxury interior design company buys and protects 35 square meters of forest to support sustainability.
Throughout the manufacturing process, this brand tries for minimal impact on the environment by working with partners that use renewable energy sources. In this House of Hackney review, I’ll check out a couple of their bestselling designs and colors.
[CTA button to shop wallpapers]House of Hackney Artemis Wallpaper Blush Review
[Image of Artemis Blush wallpaper]The House of Hackney Artemis Wallpaper is likely the only time that flowers can be thought of as rebellious and bucking the norms. With vines of wildflowers climbing the walls around you, on a blush background, this wallpaper is bold yet not loud.
In blush, it goes great with wood or glass furniture, but probably not so well with IKEA-type conservative white decor. That’s not to say that you can’t find something more to your tastes in the 17 other color options like azurite or emerald.
By choosing the right accent patterns and designs to go with it, you can create a colorful, harmonious collage that reflects your fun personality. It comes in roll height of 6’6” or 9’10” at $224 and $312 per roll, respectively.
[Check availability and pricing]House of Hackney Pampas Wallpaper Noir Review
[Image of Pampas Noir wallpaper]Turn your room into a serene, tropical paradise with the House of Hackney Pampas Wallpaper. Banana leaves, ferns, and pampas grass, in shades of green, intertwine lovingly on a black background for the effect of being in a canopy of rainforest trees.
Sticking to shades of one color makes it easy to find decor to match, especially wood furniture. The noir version has a subtle, understated presence that pairs well with darker woods. Bolder color versions are available as well with one of the other five color options like ruby or emerald.
Bring the verdant serenity of nature inside your home for $224 (6’6”) and $312 (9’10”) per roll.

The exquisite House of Hackney cushions come in over 35 collections, all made of velvet or cotton-linen. Their stuffing is 100% eco-friendly British wool.
Going forward, my House of Hackney review will take a look at one of their best-selling throw pillows.
[CTA button to shop cushions]House of Hackney Tara Medium Fringed Velvet Cushion Azurite Review
[Image of Tara Azurite cushion]Although functional as a pillow, most cushions are included in your decor to add a bit of spice, color or texture. The Tara Medium Fringed Velvet Cushion is a twist on the iconic Gainsborough pattern of blooming flowers.
The cushion has a shiny old gold ruched (pleated) fringe to give it a bit of sparkle against the rich velvet. The azurite (blue crystal) background color is meant to instill inner strength and emotional balance.
Add a spot of luxurious color to your decor for $280 per cushion.
[Check availability and pricing]Who Is House of Hackney For?
While writing this House of Hackney review, I feel that this brand is ideal for anyone looking to add a bit of color, texture and excitement to their decor.
For the less outgoing personalities, a cushion or set of drapes may provide just enough pattern and color to liven up a room.
For those whose tastes are more joyously expressive, these stunning, whimsical and nature-inspired statement prints can completely transform the feel of a space.
Since this brand focuses on luxury decor, I do have to note that the prices can seem restrictive, especially when you factor in shipping costs to the US. However, they do run occasional sales around holidays that drop prices 20-30%.
Let’s just say that if you have some flexibility in your design budget, House of Hackney is absolutely worth considering for anyone seeking to reflect their fun, creative spirit through their home.

While House of Hackney rarely offers sitewide sales or discounts since they focus on luxury design, they do run occasional promotions around major holidays that are worth checking out.
For example, last Black Friday they offered 20% off all purchases and free shipping worldwide. So if you can wait for the next deal day, you may score some savings on their signature wallpapers or fabrics.
