About this fabric

The near-black olive background gives this colourway a shadowed, woodland depth, allowing the sage, moss and muted green foliage to stand out clearly. A turquoise-and-blue kingfisher anchors the lower centre, while a smaller red-and-blue bird brings a brighter accent to the upper right. Fine butterflies and elongated leaves fill the spaces between the branching stems, creating a densely illustrated surface. Printed on 100% non-woven, the wallpaper has an approximate vertical repeat of 97cm and horizontal repeat of 68.5cm.

How to use it

Use this dark olive-black colourway to create a dramatic feature wall in a study, dining room or bedroom. Echo its turquoise, leafy green and small red accents through painted joinery, cushions or artwork while keeping larger furnishings quiet.

A richly illustrated dark ground with leafy branches, birds and butterflies for a dramatic, collected wall.

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