Welcome to our ‘Perfectly Frank’ Blog.
After years spent restoring beautiful period property interiors, the more we appreciate the craftsmanship of the designers of the day. We felt the need to talk about how to respectfully restore and look after original features. So, we started writing our regular ’Perfectly Frank’ blog.
Our aim is to help and inspire the new generations of homeowners keen to renovate their Georgian, Victorian and Edwardian homes to their former glory. Please do add a comment, we love to hear from our readers. Or, if you prefer, email us at email@frankholmesltd.com.

How do we go about dating wallpaper designs?
Is there a wallpaper archive?
