About this wallpaper

As a wallpaper, Castelli Wallcovering Elk is built around a pale taupe-grey field with generous open space between its motifs. Oversized floral sprays and scrolling leaves create a distinctly baroque arrangement, with the central bloom reading as especially full and layered. Dark olive-grey edging traces the petals, curls and smaller interior shapes, adding definition without turning the colourway stark. The restrained contrast keeps this ornate design composed and quietly atmospheric.

How to use it

Use Elk where its pale taupe-grey ground can soften the impact of the large damask arrangement, such as a dining room, study or bedroom. Echo the olive-grey outlines in painted woodwork or understated upholstery for a coordinated, low-contrast scheme.

Its muted taupe-grey palette suits rooms that want ornament without high contrast.

A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside Castelli Wallcovering Elk without fighting it. Mixed across the houses we hold, which is the part a single supplier's book cannot do.

Paint that goes with it

Two ways to take the room. Both colours are from houses we hold, so a pot can come off the same order as the cloth. Screens shift colour, so treat these as a direction and bring the cloth to the shelf before you buy the paint.
