About this wallpaper

This Colefax and Fowler wallpaper is made from 100% paper and has an approximate 20cm vertical by 13cm horizontal repeat. Across the old blue-grey background, cream-white stems curl around small leaves and teardrop-shaped floral motifs, creating a regular but gently organic rhythm. The muted blue shade reads cool and powdery rather than bright, allowing the ivory pattern to sit softly against it. Its medium-scale repeat is visible without overwhelming the delicate botanical drawing.

How to use it

Use this cool old blue-grey colourway in a bedroom, landing or sitting room with warm ivory paint, pale oak and softly weathered furniture. Pick up the cream motifs with linen curtains or upholstery in natural, chalky tones.

Pair this cool blue-grey ground with warm white, natural timber and softly aged finishes.

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.
