About this fabric

This wallpaper shows an expansive chinoiserie composition of pagodas, figures, foliage, birds and branching trees, rendered in fine coppery linework. The Tonka colourway is notably dark and warm, sitting between smoked brown and near-black rather than reading as a flat black. Distressed horizontal marks and softly rubbed areas break up the ground, while the metallic-looking artwork catches the light in delicate flashes. As a wallcovering, it brings a dramatic, luxe character to the room without losing the intricacy of the illustrated scene.

How to use it

Use Tonka on a feature wall in a library, dining room or intimate bedroom, where its espresso depth can sit comfortably with dark cabinetry and warm brass. Balance the detailed copper-bronze imagery with quiet linen, aged timber and low, directional lighting.

Pair the dark Tonka ground with antique brass, smoked glass and warm timber for a richly atmospheric interior.

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.
