Hector Wallcovering Pale Flax

About this wallpaper

The close-up shows a fine horizontal and vertical texture, creating restrained tonal movement without a bold printed motif. Pale flax sits between warm ivory and cool light grey, giving the surface a softly balanced, natural appearance. This wallpaper is specified as 100% linen, with an approximate 0cm vertical and 2cm horizontal repeat. No performance features are noted for this colourway.

How to use it

Use Pale Flax across a full room where its near-ivory, lightly greyed tone can act as a calm backdrop for timber, chalky paint and softly coloured upholstery. The subtle texture adds depth without competing with patterned furnishings or artwork.

A quiet pale flax ground with delicate woven-looking texture for softly layered, neutral interiors.

Pairs well with

Hector Wallcovering Pale Flax 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.
