Lavatus Ash

Expressions Performance Wallcoverings WallpaperCCW0127-01

Lavatus Ash is a pale ash-grey wallcovering with a softly bleached, abstract composition. Fine vertical striations, cloudy blocks and horizontal marks create a layered surface that shifts gently between white, grey and near-translucent beige.

About this wallpaper

The design combines softly blurred rectangular areas with delicate linear bands, giving this colourway a cool, washed appearance rather than a strong contrast. Its 53 cm vertical repeat allows the pale blocks and fine ribbed marks to recur at a measured scale across the wall, while the horizontal repeat is listed as 0 cm. Supplied at a 53 cm usable width and a standard 10.05 m length, it weighs 460 gsm. The restrained ash-grey palette keeps the abstract pattern airy, with the denser grey strokes adding just enough depth to prevent the surface from reading as plain white.

How to use it

Pair Lavatus Ash with chalky whites, pale oak and brushed metal where its cool ash-grey marks can read as quiet texture. It is especially suited to a study, bedroom or light-filled living space needing subtle abstract movement without saturated colour.

Use this pale, lightly weathered ash-grey ground to bring soft tonal movement to contemporary or pared-back rooms.

A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside Lavatus Ash without fighting it. Mixed across the houses we hold, which is the part a single supplier's book cannot do.

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.
