About this fabric

This catalogued wallpaper is defined by overlapping rectangular and stepped forms, with dense vertical and horizontal lines creating the impression of abstract construction or weathered architectural panels. The Magma colourway is notably deep and subdued: charcoal shadows anchor the design while warm taupe and muted bronze-grey lines catch the light across the blocks. The close linear texture softens the geometry, preventing the dark ground from reading as flat. As a wallcovering, it brings graphic structure and atmospheric depth to the wall rather than relying on a separate motif or repeat for impact.

How to use it

Pair this colourway with smoked timber, blackened metal and warm stone to draw out its charcoal depth and muted taupe highlights. It would make a compelling backdrop in a study, snug, dining room or behind built-in joinery.

Use this dark, architectural wallcovering to add depth behind shelving, in a study or across a dramatic 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.
