Hathi Cobalt

Indira Wallcoverings WallpaperCCW0159-01

Hathi Cobalt brings a vivid cobalt-blue menagerie to a warm cream ground, with elephants moving between curling botanical branches. Small ochre-gold details on the figures add a gentle lift to the otherwise cool, inky palette.

About this fabric

The design combines repeated blue elephants, curling leaves and stylised flowers in a densely arranged yet clearly readable pattern. Against the cream background, the cobalt appears saturated and graphic, while the ochre accents on the elephants introduce a small note of warmth. This wallpaper has a 52 cm usable width and a 34.6 cm vertical pattern repeat, making the rhythm of the motif easy to judge when planning a wall. Supplied in a standard 10.05 m length, it is specified at 147 gsm.

How to use it

Pair Hathi Cobalt with warm white, natural timber and woven textures to soften its strong blue ground, or echo the ochre elephant details in brass lighting and small accessories. It would bring particular energy to a study, cloakroom or compact dining space where the repeating animals can be enjoyed up close.

Use this cool cobalt-and-cream design to bring lively botanical detail and a confident, collected feel to walls.

A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside Hathi Cobalt 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.
