About this fabric

This catalogued wallpaper combines broad, overlapping geometric forms with dense vertical, horizontal and diagonal linework visible across the surface. The Carbon colourway reads as a cool charcoal grey softened by taupe and muted beige threads, rather than a flat black. Fine crosshatched marks give the larger shapes a weathered, tactile-looking depth, while the tonal variation keeps the pattern from appearing stark. With no performance features noted in the supplied specification, this design is best considered for its graphic wall-covering effect.

How to use it

Pair the charcoal and taupe tones with smoked timber, aged metal and warm neutral furnishings; use it on a feature wall where the layered geometry can be read at full scale.

Use this layered charcoal and taupe design to bring depth and architectural rhythm to a contemporary room.

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.
