Ortega Linen

Metropolitan Wallcoverings WallpaperCCW0150-02

Ortega Linen is a softly layered wallpaper with a pale cream ground and loose taupe motifs resembling an irregular ikat or abstract animal pattern. The low-contrast colouring gives the design a calm, chalky appearance rather than a sharp graphic effect.

About this fabric

The cream background is overlaid with softly edged taupe shapes, including irregular loops, teardrops and broken organic marks that create a gently mottled surface. At 180 gsm, the wallpaper has a substantial printed weight, while its 52 cm usable width suits measured domestic installation. The pattern has a 26 cm vertical repeat and no horizontal repeat, allowing the motif to continue across the wall without a side-to-side matching repeat. Each standard length is 10.05 m.

How to use it

Pair this cool, pale cream and taupe colourway with natural timber, warm white paint and quiet linen textures. Its muted contrast works especially well where you want pattern without visually darkening the room.

Use this softly contrasting cream and taupe wallpaper to bring gentle pattern and warmth to bedrooms, halls or quieter living spaces.

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