About this fabric

This wallpaper features pale ivory acanthus leaves outlined with delicate green linework, creating a detailed contrast against the muted sage background. The large botanical arrangement has a 31.8 cm vertical repeat and a 0 cm horizontal repeat, giving the design a continuous, column-like flow across the wall. It is supplied at a 52 cm usable width in a standard 10.05 m length. With a stated weight of 150 gsm, the paper has a light, smooth appearance that lets the intricate drawn foliage remain crisp.

How to use it

Use Acanthus Sage across a study, bedroom or reading nook where its softened green tone can sit alongside chalky ivory, aged oak and quiet botanical accents. Its fine foliage also works well as a backdrop to painted furniture in warm white or grey-green.

Pair the muted sage ground with warm ivory, natural timber and restrained brass for a calm, heritage-led scheme.

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