About this fabric

The design shows slender beige-grey branches carrying repeated blue leaves, creating a fine-scale pattern across the softly warm ivory background. The powder-blue colour is muted rather than saturated, so the overall impression remains gentle while the leaf shapes provide clear definition. This wallcovering is made from 100% paper and has an approximate 21cm vertical half-drop repeat with a 35cm horizontal repeat. Its evenly distributed trail is clearly visible across the image without becoming visually heavy.

How to use it

Use this cool powder-blue and ivory colourway in a bedroom, landing or relaxed sitting room where its small botanical scale can sit comfortably across all four walls. Pair it with chalky whites, pale oak and soft blue textiles to echo the wallpaper’s quiet contrast.

A delicate powder-blue leaf trail that brings gentle pattern to calm, light-filled interiors.

A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside Cress Wallpaper Blue 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.
