Potomac Wallpaper Linen has a softly weathered pale greige tone, balanced by a fine irregular crosshatch that gives the surface a quiet linen-like character. Its low-contrast texture reads gently rather than as a strong printed motif.

About this fabric

This Colefax and Fowler wallcovering is made from 100% paper and shows a delicate network of fine horizontal and vertical marks across the pale beige-grey ground. The subtle variation in the surface adds a lightly tactile, natural impression while retaining an airy overall effect. With an approximate vertical repeat of 0cm and horizontal repeat of 0cm, the design presents as an essentially continuous textured field. The cool, muted greige tone will sit discreetly behind stronger furniture shapes, timber tones or softly coloured textiles.

How to use it

Use Potomac Wallpaper Linen across a bedroom, hallway or sitting room where its pale greige tone can bring gentle depth without darkening the scheme. Pair it with chalky whites, bleached timber and warm natural fibres to draw out the wallcovering’s understated linen-like texture.

Use this softly textured pale greige wallcovering to create a calm, quietly layered backdrop for natural woods and linen furnishings.

Pairs well with

Potomac Wallpaper Linen 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.
