Kabu Wallcovering Shadow

Name: Kabu Wallcovering Shadow
Brand: Black Edition

Kabu Wallcovering Shadow has a deep charcoal-grey ground crossed by fine vertical lines, with irregular black-edged blocks forming a broken geometric rhythm. Its shadowed colouring gives the pattern a quiet, architectural presence.

About this fabric

The surface appears densely lined from top to bottom, while uneven rectangular outlines and dark interruptions create a layered, hand-drawn effect. Charcoal grey keeps the colourway cool and restrained, with the black elements adding depth rather than high contrast. This design is catalogued as wallpaper in the Kabu Wallcoverings Black Edition collection. No performance features are noted for this wallcovering.

How to use it

Use Shadow across a study, hallway or intimate living space where its charcoal tone can create a cocooning backdrop. Pair it with pale timber, brushed metal or warm neutral upholstery to balance the cooler grey and emphasise the irregular black geometry.

Use this deep charcoal wallcovering to bring graphic structure and quiet contrast to contemporary interiors.

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.
