The latest fabric and wallpaper collection to get interior designers the world over buzzing comes from the Queen. The Royal Collection, as it's called, has taken 12 months to put together and has been inspired by Her Majesty's favourite residence, Buckingham Palace.

It consists of a rich mix of large – and small – scale patterns in a variety of contrasting colours, finishes and textures, and there is a range of accessories to go with the collection with each one carrying the Royal insignia.

Interior designers claim it is the most influential and prestigious collection they have seen in the last decade and they expect it to fly out of shops when it hits the high street later this year. A select gathering of interior designers were invited to Buckingham Palace by the Queen last month to view the collection and they included partners, Jason and Simon Rose of Rose & Co Interiors, Bull Green, Halifax.

"It was a personal invitation from the Queen and only 40 interior designers were invited, so we feel very honoured," says Jason who runs the Halifax shop, while Simon is based at their second shop in Holmfirth.

"It is the most beautiful collection I have seen for some time. There are a lot of embroidered silks and damasks and the most exquisite silk velvets. The colours are to die for. Obviously, there is lots of red and gold mixed with duck-egg blue, beige and black. The black on black is stunning.

" I'm convinced there will be a lot of interest, especially from Royalists. Just imagine, they will be able to have the same bedroom as the Queen. Now that is something to impress the neighbours."

The Queen asked Tricia Guild, the founder of Designers Guild, to put the collection together for her. Tricia is known for her bold and original fabric and wallpaper collections and her extraordinary ability to use colour – and pattern – in decoration. She founded Designers Guild in London in 1970 and is considered one of the creative forces in the world of industrial design.

One of her strengths is taking something traditional and giving it a modern twist. Another is finding surprising, contemporary uses for forgotten techniques. She is the author of 12 books and has received several awards, the latest, an OBE from The Queen for her services to the design industry.

"It was a real coup for Tricia to be asked to do the Royal Collection. It is the most prestigious collection the Designers Guild has ever produced. She was honoured to be asked and says the Queen was heavily involved and hands-on from day one. I understand HRH was very impressed with Tricia's hard work and felt she deserved some kind of reward for the collection, as well as her past work," says Jason who moved Rose & Co to Halifax from Ripponden 12 months ago.

The shop is in its 10th year and sells soft furnishings and wallpapers, but both Jason and Simon spend most of their time doing interior design work.

It has featured in several national magazines and newspapers including BBC Good Homes and the Sunday Times.

According to Jason, there is something for everyone in the Royal Collection and the designs are timeless and won't date. The timing is perfect because the latest trend is to banish beige in the home and let colour in. Poshing it up is big. Think sophistication, elegance and luxury using lots of gold finishes with rich dramatic fabrics.

Wallpaper in the Royal Collection ranges from £50 to £95, while the fabric starts at £60 a metre and goes up to £160.
There are three different Royal Collection books.

Here are some tips from Jason Rose.

• Have fun with your home – don't always use bland neutrals.


• If you're frightened of colour, use it carefully with coloured accessories such as cushions and vases which can be easily changed with minimum expense.


• When painting, use the same colour for walls and wood work.


• Lime greens, pinks and purples are the colours of now – bright, warm and cheery.


• Sofas and chairs don't all need to match in the same fabric or style.


• If in doubt ask for some advice.
