Malevich Linen

Metropolitan Wallcoverings WallpaperCCW0147-03

Malevich Linen pairs a warm ivory ground with broad, loosely drawn brushstrokes in pale greige and soft olive-beige tones. The open spacing and lightly striated marks give the surface a quiet, painterly rhythm.

About this fabric

The design is built from large, irregular sweeps that vary from soft horizontal arcs to elongated vertical strokes, with fine brush-like striations visible within the muted marks. Its linen-cream background keeps the colourway light, while the low-contrast greige and faint olive cast add gentle depth without becoming stark. The supplied specifications give a 52 cm usable width, a 64 cm vertical repeat and a 0 cm horizontal repeat. Each standard length is 10.05 m, and the wallpaper has a stated weight of 180 gsm.

How to use it

Use Malevich Linen across a bedroom, reading nook or softly lit living space where its warm ivory ground can sit alongside natural linen, pale oak and chalky neutrals. The muted greige brushstrokes introduce movement while keeping the overall scheme calm and light.

Use this softly tonal wallpaper to bring broad, painterly movement to calm neutral interiors.

Pairs well with

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