About this fabric

The wallpaper shows narrow vertical bands formed from interlaced, scrolling motifs in a muted blue-grey against a paler old-blue ground. Its fine paper surface has a subtle horizontal grain that gently softens the pattern rather than making the colour appear stark. The supplied specification is 100% Paper, with an approximate vertical repeat of 3cm and horizontal repeat of 7.5cm. The restrained contrast keeps this colourway airy, while the closely drawn ornament adds depth when viewed across a wall.

How to use it

Pair this cool powder-blue colourway with chalky whites, pale woods and soft grey-blue textiles for a restful scheme. Its vertical ornament would suit a bedroom wall, entrance hall or small room where the repeated bands can create a sense of height.

Use this cool, softened blue stripe to bring quiet pattern and vertical rhythm to bedrooms, hallways or relaxed sitting rooms.

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.
