About this fabric

The wallpaper’s dark ground gives the design considerable visual depth, while the irregular leaf shapes move across it in loose, organic diagonals. Warm ochre and sand tones sit alongside cool sage and blue-grey accents, creating a balanced contrast rather than a brightly saturated effect. In the photographed interior, the pattern works against pale architectural trim, a dark wood cabinet and soft neutral upholstery, making the room feel collected and richly tonal. This exact SKU is catalogued as wallpaper in the Tabala Wallcoverings Black Edition collection.

How to use it

Use this colourway on a feature wall where its charcoal background can frame light woodwork, cream seating and dark timber furniture. Brass or ochre accessories will echo the warmer leaf details without competing with the cooler blue-grey and sage marks.

Pair the charcoal ground with warm timber, cream upholstery and brass accents to draw out its ochre and muted leaf tones.

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.
