Contour Wallcovering Avocet

Name: Contour Wallcovering Avocet
Brand: Black Edition

Contour Wallcovering Avocet sets an ivory field against sweeping charcoal marks, with curved strokes appearing and disappearing at the swatch edges. The result is a crisp, monochrome wallcovering with visible horizontal grain beneath the drawing.

About this fabric

Avocet pairs a warm ivory background with broad charcoal strokes that bend, taper and break across the surface. The marks have an expressive, hand-drawn quality, while fine horizontal striations remain visible in the pale ground. In this Black Edition colourway, the near-black lines create strong contrast without introducing any additional colour. The supplied catalogue identifies it as wallpaper, with no performance features noted.

How to use it

Use the ivory-and-charcoal palette to bring graphic contrast to a calm neutral scheme. The elongated black curves can read almost like artwork across the wall, while the pale ground keeps the overall effect light.

Pair the ivory ground and charcoal curves with a restrained neutral scheme for graphic impact.

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.
