About this wallpaper

Small damask-like medallions repeat across the cream background, with each pale blue motif framed by curling, symmetrical detail. The blue reads as muted and powdery rather than saturated, giving this colourway a cooler, airier character than a stronger blue-and-white scheme. The repeat measures approximately 6cm vertically by 4cm horizontally, creating a consistently intimate pattern across the wall. Made from 100% paper, this design has the crisp, lightly textured presence expected of a paper wallcovering.

How to use it

Use the cool pale blue and cream combination in a bedroom, entrance hall or sitting room alongside chalky whites, bleached timber and soft grey-blue upholstery. Its small repeat can cover all four walls while retaining a calm, finely detailed backdrop.

A cool, softly patterned wallpaper that brings quiet rhythm to bedrooms, hallways and traditional interiors.

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