About this fabric

This 150 gsm wallpaper is filled with detailed natural-history imagery, including two blue-grey lions, paired winged birds and smaller dragonflies, leaves and ornamental motifs. The ochre ground gives the colourway warmth, while the blue linework brings depth and a slightly mysterious, nocturnal contrast. It is supplied at a usable width of 52 cm in a standard 10.05 m length. The pattern repeat is 45.7 cm vertically, with the supplied specification listing a 0 cm horizontal repeat.

How to use it

Use Extinct Blue across a study, boot room or bedroom feature wall where its golden ground can add warmth and the cool blue animals can sit alongside painted timber, dark wood or aged brass. Its dense illustrated scale is particularly effective when the surrounding furnishings are kept quieter.

A richly illustrated wallpaper for adding an adventurous, collected feel to feature walls, bedrooms or studies.

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.
