Design studio Timorous Beasties has opened a new flagship showroom in the heart of London’s Clerkenwell. 

The new showroom, originally built in 1916 as a five-storey warehouse, previously operated as a lithographic and typesetting printworks – a history that resonated with Timorous Beasties’ heritage, echoing the craft of the brand’s Glasgow handprint studio. A rich history of craftspeople and makers living and working on the street also heightened the appeal of the location. 

The 2,300ft² space is arranged over the ground floor and lower ground floor levels, both flooded with natural light. Customers will be able to browse and purchase Timorous Beasties’ entire collection of wallpapers, fabrics and accessories, as well as smaller items for the home. 

Products will be displayed within lifestyle settings with comfortable zones to sit, relax and browse sample books, as well as to discuss interior schemes with the Timorous Beasties team. Timorous Beasties will also offer a Design Consultation service within the showroom, in addition to a meeting space for trade clients. 

“We are delighted to open our new London showroom in the heart of Clerkenwell’s design district,” says Alistair McAuley, co-founder of Timorous Beasties. “This destination space will allow us to showcase the full breadth of our wallpaper and fabric collections. In addition to selecting unique products for their home interiors and receive one to one design and colour advice from our team, we want our customers to enjoy their showroom experience and gain a better understanding of over 30 years of Timorous Beasties pattern and print heritage.”
