Celebrate the return of the ninth and final series of Escape to the Chateau by bringing a piece of The Chateau home.

Inspired by their fairytale home Chateau de la Motte Husson, engineer Dick Strawbridge and his wife, designer Angel, have created a range of personalised gifts and homewares, all with a unique story to tell. Each design has evolved as the family uncovered The Chateau’s hidden treasures and enchanting wildlife.

Over eight years and nine series, over 50 beautiful spaces have been rebuilt, restored or reimagined. Dick and Angel have found creative and ingenious ways of transforming an abandoned French Chateau into an incredible family home.

Audiences from over 45 countries have watched as The Chateau revealed its secrets and inspired Angel to create a range of distinctive designs combining her love for Art Deco, Art Nouveau, and illustration with the stories of her home.

In episode 3, Angel makes her first official visit to the attic. In amongst the cobwebs, and with baby Dorothy on her hip, she opens the door to a 15 feet tall armoire. To her amazement, inside is roll upon roll of the most beautiful wallpaper; original off-cuts from designs that once adorned The Chateau walls.

With the help of Dick’s meticulous calculations, each wallpaper design was cut into diamond shapes and carefully pasted to the turret walls in the Honeymoon Suite. To finish the look, elegant braiding was pinned along the edges.

The Kitchen Tiles

Episode 3 saw the transformation of the Strawbridge family kitchen! No room at The Chateau would be complete, without some personal touches…so Angel got to work in printing bespoke tiles to perfectly match the family and the Chateau.

These illustrative tiles are printed to order in the exact designs you’ll see in Dick and Angel’s kitchen! From the British and French flags to the personalisable Chateau de la Motte Husson tile – you can style these in your own home, and even personalise a few of them to make them perfect for your family.

The Helter Skelter

Making sure there is plenty of fun for Arthur and Dorothy is always high on the agenda! In episode 4, Angel wanted a Helter-Skelter for the playroom so Dick got to work building one!

If you’re up to the challenge and you’re ready to build your own, you can find Dick’s original sketches and a how-to in Dick and Angel's book, The Chateau: The Beginning Along with lots of other how-to’s, recipes and inspiration from Dick and Angel, this book can be personalised making it a beautiful gift.

When renovating the Botanical Suite in the second episode of this series, Angel was looking for the perfect tile for the bathroom walls. A fan of printing onto tiles for many years, Angel created her own Art Deco-inspired Parisian style Diver tile.

You can recreate the style in your own home with our Diver tile. We recommend using these as a feature and combining them with simple brick tiles, but if you’re just looking for a glimpse of the Parisian style, these tiles are ideal for using as hot plates, trivets or under plant pots! As we print all of these to order, you can also personalise with your name.

Series 3 saw the renovation of the Boudoir Suite! A truly glamourous 1920s inspired Suite with a sultry, sophisticated black and gold colour scheme and a double entry way. The gold grout Angel used to fill between the black glossy Victorian tiles was a real talking point!

This Suite inspired our beautiful Boudoir candle. Encased in a black glass (in true Boudoir style!) that is etched with The Chateau logo and a name of your choice. This charming fragrance opens with fruity notes of tart blackcurrant, apple and sweet pineapple. A heart of juniper berries, woody birch and patchouli lie on a sensual base of vanilla, musk and oakmoss.

In the first episode of series 5, we saw Dick, Arthur and Dorothy make it their mission to create a magical place for Angel to cut Wild Flowers from, and so they started sowing the seeds for a Wild Flower meadow in front of The Chateau’s Orangery. Each series since, we’ve seen the beautiful meadow blooming in springtime, a haven for gorgeous flowers and pollinators.

“The wild meadow and cutting garden are very special places for me. The abundance of flowers and the creatures which live amongst them formed my inspiration for this whimsical yet elegant design.

The Wildflower Gardencaptures the spirit of the untamed surroundings; tendrils intermingle with a rich variety of shapes and forms, creating an alluring web of beauty. I added a sprinkle of Art Nouveau styling to capture the essence of the wild meadow and cutting garden at The Chateau perfectly-old wallpaper that was originally in the room.”
