Malevich Dove

Metropolitan Wallcoverings WallpaperCCW0147-01

Malevich Dove pairs broad, gestural brushstrokes in soft dove grey with a warm ivory ground. The open abstract arrangement gives the wall a calm sense of movement without introducing a fixed figurative motif.

About this fabric

The sweeping marks vary from pale grey washes to denser charcoal-grey striations, giving this colourway a cool, softly weathered depth against the creamy background. At 52 cm usable width and 180 gsm, each roll measures 10.05 m in standard length. The design has a 64 cm vertical repeat and a 0 cm horizontal repeat, preserving the loose, staggered feel of the brushwork across the wall. Its restrained contrast suits spaces where texture and movement are wanted without a strongly saturated colour statement.

How to use it

Use Malevich Dove across a whole room or behind a reading nook, where the cool grey strokes can sit alongside pale oak, chalky white and brushed metal. Keep upholstery simple so the ivory ground and changing brush-mark density remain visible.

Use this cool dove-grey abstract wallpaper to bring quiet movement to a light, contemporary interior.

Pairs well with

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