Upton - Aprils Bloom - Smokes

Delicate, detailed, and full of quiet character, the Upton Collection draws inspiration from the gentle signs of seasonal change - crab apple blossom, bees in flight, and the soft, sculptural forms of paperwhites. Each design in the collection began as a hand-drawn study, celebrating the understated beauty of British gardens and hedgerows. There’s a softness to Upton’s palette and composition, with prints that feel airy, graceful, and grounded in nature. Whether it’s the charm of drifting blossom, the quiet hum of bees, or the simplicity of a single stem, Upton offers a considered take on natural motifs - ideal for spaces that call for a light, elegant touch. Airy. Botanical. Effortlessly timeless

April’s Bloom is a celebration of spring’s first flourish - an expressive, hand-drawn design featuring blossoming apple branches alive with petal, leaf, and motion. Carefully composed in a vertical serpentine repeat, the design flows rhythmically across a soft Bud Green ground, with delicate bees and butterflies scattered throughout for a touch of whimsy and natural energy.

As a developed companion to other designs in the Upton Collection - including Apple Spray and Apple Bee - April’s Bloom offers a bolder, more immersive take on orchard florals. Full of life, artistry, and layered colour, it brings a fresh and joyful presence to interiors, thoughtfully created by The House of Abigail.
