Behind the Brand: The Chateau by Angel Strawbridge
Where Storytelling Meets Surface Design
At the heart of The Chateau lies a love story - not just between Dick and Angel Strawbridge, but between a family and a forgotten French chateau. What began as a bold restoration project soon blossomed into a design movement. Inspired by the walls around them, the team behind The Chateau has crafted a collection of fabrics, wallpapers, and homewares that are as imaginative, romantic, and richly storied as the place itself.
Today, the interiors collection brings The Chateau de la Motte-Husson to homes around the world - one roll of wallpaper, one metre of fabric at a time.
The Chateau Collection: Designed with Heart, Made with History
Each design in The Chateau range is deeply personal - a memory, a discovery, or a detail from the building itself, lovingly reimagined into prints and patterns:
- The Wallpaper Museum Collection: Inspired by vintage wallpaper fragments discovered in the attic, these eclectic designs honour the past while reimagining it for today’s interiors.
- Heritage Garden: A celebration of the grounds, wildflowers, and the love Angel and Dick have poured into restoring nature around the chateau.
- The Wildflower Collection: Soft, natural motifs taken from Angel’s own pressed flower arrangements, perfect for romantic, nature-inspired spaces.
- Moonlight Collection: Reflecting the serenity and magic of French evenings, this series is rich with dusky blues and gentle patterns.
Whether it’s a floral cotton print for curtains, a statement wallpaper for a hallway, or a whimsical upholstery velvet, each product reflects Angel’s signature blend of vintage glamour and creative storytelling.
