About this fabric

This large-scale scenic wallpaper shows a highly detailed procession, including a decorated elephant, musicians, attendants, seated figures and patterned ceremonial fabrics. The Paon colourway is anchored by a cool charcoal ground, allowing the saturated turquoise, peacock blue, emerald, ochre, coral and plum details to read with striking clarity. Supplied as 100% non-woven wallpaper, it has a vertical repeat of 115cm in a half-drop and an approximate horizontal repeat of 68.5cm. The closely arranged figures and layered ornamental details create a theatrical, immersive surface rather than a quiet background.

How to use it

Use Paon on a dining-room, entrance-hall or dressing-room statement wall, where its charcoal depth can frame warm timber, brass and richly coloured upholstery. Repeat one of the visible jewel tones—such as peacock blue, saffron or emerald—in smaller furnishings and accessories.

Use this richly coloured charcoal-ground mural wallpaper to create a dramatic, story-filled statement wall.

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.
