It is said in tales of old that the cuckoo - messenger of the goddess Hera, and symbol of immortality - had to eat sorrel leaves to get her voice. So when the sorrel springs forth, the cuckoo sings her song.
Make your home sing with the divine SORREL, a verdant mid green fit for a goddess.
A versatile shade, coordinate with FLORIKA in ‘Onyx’ or NANJIZAL in ‘Emerald’ for a perfect print pairing. This colour is available in two finishes, choose Emulsion to coat your walls with wonder, or opt for Eggshell for woodwork. From all round recyclable packaging, to a complimentary FSC-approved stirrer crafted from by-products, our made to order paint was designed with minimal waste in mind.
Each tin sold enables House of Hackney to purchase and protect 35 square metres of forest thanks to our partnership with the World Land Trust, the international conservation charity that safeguards our most vital natural ecosystems and threatened habitats, acre by acre.

Product tips
We recommend trying a swatch before purchase to test the colour in various lights in your home. Swatches are available in Matt Emulsion only, and are painted for a finish and colour true to life. For Eggshell paint the finish will vary slightly to the Matt Emulsion swatch.
It is important to note that colours on screen may vary from actual paint. For the very best results, we recommend priming walls in advance of painting.
We advise to use rollers for larger areas of space, and brushes for cutting in and detailed paint work. Make sure to use a synthetic bristle brush which is better for water based paints.
All paint is made to order.

STEP 1: Measure the room
Before placing your order, be sure to map out the space where you would like the furniture to sit by laying masking tape or newspaper, corresponding to the design’s widest dimensions, onto the floor. You can find the dimensions of each House of Hackney piece under the ‘Product Details’ section of the individual product pages on our website. TIP: It’s a smart move to leave a little wiggle room either side of your chair or sofa, so that it doesn’t have to be wedged into place. Ideally, you want enough of a gap to walk around the piece – or nestle a side table or lamp next to it if desired.
STEP 2: Measure your home
Next, taking into account the height (H), width (W) and depth (D) of your chosen furniture, you will need to measure your home to ensure the piece can comfortably reach the room in which it will live – so think about the doorways, hallways and stairwells it will need to pass through to get there.

Our Progress
Our Factories
Designed with purpose, made with love and built to last. We don’t make ‘products’; we make 'future Heirlooms'. Unique, authentic pieces that are inspired by the past and designed to be passed down to the next generation.
Upon founding our House, we spent six months travelling the length and breadth of the UK in search of the country’s finest craftspeople. We are proud to still work closely with these small-scale, family-run businesses today – preserving specialist, age-old trades (not to mention local jobs) while delivering unparalleled quality.
Each design is a celebration of traditional craftsmanship and sublime artistry, made to stand the test of time. No wonder, then, that we call them ‘future heirlooms’
Discover the story behind our crafts here.
Our Impact
Since the day our House was built, a sense of compassion for people and planet has served as the foundation of everything we do. House of Hackney is evolving from a B Corp sustainable brand to a regenerative one. This means doing things differently to bring about social and economic change, promoting the restoration and regeneration of natural resources and social systems. It means going beyond simply ‘sustaining’ and instead, actively making things better.
From how our raw materials are farmed and the farmers who grow them to the craft people who make the finished product, our team who sell them and everyone and everything in between, it means ensuring people and planet are considered at every touch point. Read more.
Nature, Our Director
Mother Nature & Future Generations sit on our board of directors. House of Hackney has legally appointed Mother Nature and Future Generations to our board of directors. By giving them a voice and a vote they will hold us accountable for every decision we make with regards to our impact on the planet and people of today, and in the future. Read more.
Products & Materials
From farm to furnishings, we ensure the natural world and the people within it are considered at every touchpoint. At House of Hackney, we’re all about making changes to protect the natural world and we are always seeking out ways to evolve our business that work more in harmony with Mother Nature. A big part of that is questioning the materials we use; are they the best available and can we do better?
As standard, our wallpaper is made using PVC-free, FSC certified, purposely grown materials, printed with water-based, environmentally safe inks and is made especially to order, reducing waste.
From natural mycelium products and sustainable cork materials to working with paper scientists to explore creating wallpaper from non-wood fibres, we are committed to discovering new material innovations and new ways of thinking and making products.
