About this fabric

This Clarke & Clarke design is supplied at a usable width of 52cm and a standard length of 10.05m, with a 52cm vertical pattern repeat. The image shows tightly grouped leaves and stems in forest, teal and olive greens, lifted by muted cream, amber and rust-orange accents. The 150gsm paper carries a painterly surface effect, with softly varied marks that make the foliage feel layered rather than flat. Congo Antique has a richly enveloping character, particularly suited to rooms where a deep, warm botanical backdrop is wanted.

How to use it

Pair the antique green ground with dark timber, aged brass and warm neutral upholstery to echo the wallpaper’s ochre and terracotta leaf tones. It would work especially well across a study, dining room or intimate sitting room where its dense pattern can create an enveloping backdrop.

Use this deep green botanical wallpaper to bring layered woodland colour and a richly atmospheric feel to a 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.
