Roussillon Wallpaper Old Blue

Roussillon Wallpaper Old Blue has a softly muted blue-green ground, crossed by delicate trailing branches in warm taupe and faded gold tones. Small leaves and clustered hanging blooms give the open design a quiet, airy rhythm.

About this wallpaper

Made from 100% paper, this wallpaper has an approximate vertical repeat of 38cm and horizontal repeat of 68.5cm. The cool, greyed blue-green background has a lightly clouded appearance, allowing the fine botanical tracery to remain subtle rather than stark. Slender branching stems wind across the surface, with tiny leaves, tendrils and pendant flower clusters picked out in earthy taupe and softly metallic-looking beige. The restrained contrast gives this Old Blue colourway a calm, gently timeworn character.

How to use it

Use it to bring a cool, settled atmosphere to a bedroom, study or garden-facing sitting room. Natural oak, pale painted furniture and warm linen tones will draw out the wallpaper’s taupe botanical detailing without competing with its muted blue-green ground.

Pair the cool blue-green ground with warm natural timber and softly aged metallic accents.

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.
