About this fabric

Hector Wallcovering Slate is made from 100% linen and has an approximately 0 cm vertical and 2 cm horizontal repeat. In the swatch, a cool slate blue-grey ground is crossed by fine, closely spaced vertical striations, creating a woven grain rather than a bold printed motif. The shade remains muted and lightly smoky, with subtle tonal variation visible across the grey-blue field. As wallpaper, its restrained texture keeps the wall visually quiet while adding gentle surface depth.

How to use it

Use this cool slate blue-grey on bedroom or sitting-room walls where its smoky tone can sit comfortably with pale timber, chalky whites and deeper blue-grey accents. Its fine vertical texture also pairs well with simple, tailored furnishings.

Use this cool slate blue-grey wallpaper to add quiet texture and depth to contemporary or classic rooms.

Hector Wallcovering Slate 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.
