Wallpapers from inside Felbrigg Hall have inspired new designs
The National Trust says income from the sale of wallpaper inspired by 19th Century designs at one of its houses will help safeguard its properties for years to come.
Original wallpapers from an attic room and a butler's pantry at Felbrigg Hall, Norfolk, have been "revitalised" by an interiors company.
A donation from the sale of each roll will go towards the National Trust's conservation work.
Ella Akinlade, general manager at Felbrigg Hall, said she hoped the collaboration would also raise the profile of the property, which she described as "such a gem of a house".
The original wallpapers were found in an attic and butler's pantry cupboard in the hall
This was the third collection from the 17th Century house, near Cromer, that the National Trust has partnered with company Little Greene on.
The designs, Ditsy Block and Mosaic Trail, date back to the 1800s.
Ms Akinlade said: "We are so proud of the collection we have in Felbrigg… what they've been really clever with is that they've taken a tiny sample and managed to make a whole wallpaper."
"There's so many things we can take from National Trust houses to influence our own houses… we should absolutely be looking at them to decorate our houses now."
The Mosaic Trail design dates back to 1885
Becky Stanford, head of brand licensing for the National Trust, said: "As well as bringing joy to homeowners, the income from these collections allows us to continue to look after these inspirational places for everyone to enjoy, and we remain very grateful [to Little Greene] for all their support.”
