Mizu Wallcovering Shadow

Name: Mizu Wallcovering Shadow
Brand: Black Edition

Mizu Wallcovering Shadow combines a near-black charcoal ground with smoky slate-grey forms that drift vertically across the surface. The irregular, brush-like pattern gives this colourway a cool, atmospheric depth.

About this fabric

This design is catalogued as wallpaper and is shown here in a dark Shadow colourway. Charcoal-black areas sit behind softened slate-grey shapes, creating a moody contrast without a bright or saturated accent. Fine vertical striations run through the image, adding a dry, tactile-looking grain to the blurred abstract motif. The overall effect is cool, shadowed and graphic, with the lighter grey marks catching the eye against the deep ground.

How to use it

Use Shadow on a feature wall where its charcoal depth can frame pale upholstery, brushed metal or cool grey furnishings. Its subdued slate highlights also suit a layered, low-lit scheme rather than a bright, high-contrast interior.

Use this deep, cool-toned wallpaper to add graphic movement and shadowy depth to a room.

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.
