About this wallpaper

The Old Blue background has a gentle grey cast, giving this colourway a quieter and cooler mood than a more saturated blue, while the ivory vines and flowers provide crisp but subdued contrast. Slender branching stems weave diagonally through the design, with fern sprays and rounded blossoms creating a detailed, medium-scale botanical rhythm. Made from 100% paper, this wallpaper has a vertical repeat of 26cm in a half drop and an approximate horizontal repeat of 35cm. The close, pale drawing and blue-grey ground give the surface a softly layered appearance rather than a bold, high-contrast statement.

How to use it

Use Old Blue across a bedroom, study or garden room where its cool blue-grey ground can echo daylight, with ivory-painted woodwork and warm natural timber adding balance. Repeat the botanical mood through restrained linen, ceramic or woven accents rather than introducing a competing pattern.

Use this cool blue-grey botanical wallpaper to bring a quietly collected, light-reflective feel to bedrooms, studies or garden-facing rooms.

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