About this fabric

The design is built from broad, irregular arcs and broken brush marks in deep ink navy, softened by visible taupe and khaki streaks that add a dry, layered texture. Its cool navy depth contrasts clearly with the warm ivory background, while the uneven edges keep the composition energetic rather than polished. This wallpaper has a 52 cm usable width, a standard length of 10.05 m and a 180 gsm weight. The vertical pattern repeat is 64 cm, with no horizontal repeat recorded, so the marks shift organically across the width.

How to use it

Pair the ink navy with chalky ivory, aged timber and brushed metal for a composed scheme that lets the warm taupe brush accents show through. It is particularly effective on a feature wall where the large-scale strokes can be read at a distance.

Use this cool ink-and-ivory design to give walls an expressive, painterly focal point.

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