ABOUT US
Thoughtful design. Enduring beauty. Tailored to you.
At Fromental, we create hand-painted, embroidered, and printed wallcoverings that are anything but ordinary. Founded in 2005 by Tim Butcher and Lizzie Deshayes, our work blends time-honoured craftsmanship with progressive design thinking—bringing immersive, one-of-a-kind spaces to life on the walls of exceptional interiors across the world.
Luxury is not rushed. It is cultivated with patience and precision. Our bespoke service offers tailored layouts through made-to-measure panels, crafted with an uncompromising dedication to materials and technique.
We stand at the crossroads of heritage and innovation. We honour the past while pioneering new techniques—layering hand-painting with digital print, experimenting with 3D relief effects and nurturing our curiosity.
"Whether it be large scale, abstracted, monochromatic, or simply a new take on an old theme, Fromental has created a niche all its own. If you can imagine it, they can execute it!"
- Lee Cavanaugh, Design Partner at Cullman Kravis
Meet The Founders
Tim began his career in fashion, creating the technology to hand paint fabrics for Parisian couture houses. But it was while spending time in Asia in his twenties that he fell in love with the timeless beauty of traditional Chinese wallcoverings.
Lizzie’s conversion happened sooner. At the age of three, she longed to design fabrics – like her godfather, textile designer John Allen. But as a teen, she found herself captivated by wallpapering sessions with her father, and a lasting fascination was born.
Together, Tim and Lizzie lead Fromental with a belief that design should be personal, expressive, and beautifully made. Working closely with their team, they guide each project with care, always seeking to create something timeless.
“Craftsmanship to us means good use of tools and technology. You must remember, painting onto silk was high tech at one time.”
- Lizzie Deshayes, Director
Designers partner with us not only for our designs, but for the way we work — flexible, thoughtful and always collaborative. Here’s how we make a difference:
Bespoke as Standard
Our designs are one-of-a-kind. Every handmade wallcovering can be customised to your project’s needs—from colour selection to layout. No compromises, just considered, personalised design that sets your work apart.
Remarkable Craftsmanship
From hand-embroidered silks to custom design solutions, our work is known for its precision and artistry. We're proud to provide a level of craftsmanship that resonates with discerning clients.
Made to Fit
No two projects are the same—so we never treat them that way. Each commission is approached with fresh eyes and a bespoke mindset. Whether you’re working with curved walls, double-height spaces, or complex architectural details, our team tailors each design to the unique character and requirements of the project.
White-Glove Service
We understand the pressure of timelines, budgets and multiple moving parts. That’s why we offer end-to-end support—from design development through to installation—so you can focus on the bigger picture.
Reliability with No Compromise
Luxury doesn’t have to mean delays or uncertainty. We work to agreed timelines and budgets, while never cutting corners on creativity or craft.
We see beauty as fundamental to a good life — let’s create something extraordinary together.
