About this fabric

The large-scale design shows elaborately dressed riders, horses and elephants moving through a detailed landscape of buildings, trees and patterned textiles. Against the near-black background, the saturated colours appear especially crisp, with warm yellow, orange and coral balanced by cool turquoise, pale blue and green. This wallpaper is made from 100% non-woven material. The pattern has a vertical repeat of 101cm with a half drop and an approximate horizontal repeat of 68.5cm.

How to use it

Use Noir on a feature wall in a study, dining room or dressing room, pairing its black depth with warm timber, aged brass and selectively chosen jewel-toned upholstery. Keep surrounding surfaces quiet so the miniature figures, foliage and panoramic scene remain legible.

Use as a dramatic feature wall where the black ground can frame the vivid procession and foliage.

Pairs well with

A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside Dara Wallpaper Noir without fighting it. 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.
