About this fabric

The Shadow colourway has a cool, dark blue-grey background that gives the design a moody, enveloping depth. Warm ochre-gold linework traces pagoda-like buildings, birds, seated figures, flowering branches and winding landscape forms across the surface. Fine horizontal striations interrupt the imagery, creating a gently weathered, textural appearance rather than a flat block of colour. The contrast between the shadowed ground and illuminated-looking motifs gives this wallpaper a richly decorative, formal character.

How to use it

Use Shadow on a dining room, study or bedroom feature wall where its cool charcoal tone can sit alongside dark timber, aged brass and warm neutral upholstery. Keep surrounding surfaces restrained so the ochre-gold chinoiserie scenes remain the focal point.

Use the deep blue-grey ground and warm ochre-gold chinoiserie detail to create a richly atmospheric feature wall.

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.
