About this fabric

This Gesso colourway presents a soft ivory-cream ground, closer to chalk than a stark white. A tiny regular crosshatched texture runs across the surface, creating the quiet hopsack character visible in the swatch, with minute shifts between warm cream and lighter highlights. Made from 100% paper, it is supplied as a wallpaper with an approximate vertical repeat of 0cm and horizontal repeat of 0cm. Its restrained, low-contrast finish keeps the wall calm while adding close-up tactile detail.

How to use it

Use this soft ivory-cream shade to wrap a room where you want light, quiet walls with more depth than a plain white finish. Its fine grid texture would sit neatly behind natural timber, painted furniture and warm neutral upholstery.

A chalky ivory ground with a barely-there hopsack grid for quiet, textured walls.

Hopsack Wallpaper Gesso is a quiet cloth, so it carries a pattern beside it: one of these on the curtains and this on the chair. 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.
