About this fabric

This exact design is catalogued as wallpaper and is formed from overlapping, angular blocks rather than a repeated floral or linear motif. The dominant oxide-brown areas read warm and earthy, while chalky grey and pale taupe shapes break up the depth with a quiet, mineral contrast. Fine speckling and horizontal surface marks soften the edges of the geometry, so the pattern feels weathered rather than sharply graphic. The large-scale arrangement makes the shifting brown, grey and cream tones the main visual feature when applied to a wall.

How to use it

Pair the warm oxide ground with natural timber, aged brass and pale linen upholstery, allowing the chalk and grey sections to link with lighter furnishings. It would suit a feature wall where the broad geometric forms can be seen at full scale.

Use this warm oxide colourway to add softly weathered geometry and earthy depth to a 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.
