Quetzal Gold

Mythica Wallcoverings WallpaperCCW0152-02

Quetzal Gold brings a richly illustrated aviary to the wall, set against a warm ivory ground. Ochre-gold birds, deep brown foliage and fine black linework give the design a distinctive antique-naturalist character.

About this fabric

This wallpaper combines large, finely drawn birds with curling branches, insects, feathers and botanical forms in warm ochre gold, brown and charcoal. The 50.9 cm vertical pattern repeat allows the lively composition to continue across the wall, while the horizontal repeat is 0 cm. It is supplied at a 52 cm usable width and a standard length of 10.05 m. At 130 gsm, the paper has a light, practical profile suited to displaying the detailed Quetzal Gold artwork without competing surface weight.

How to use it

Use Quetzal Gold as a dramatic feature wall in a study, dining room or bedroom, balancing its warm ochre tone with aged timber, ivory upholstery and dark brown or black accents. Keep surrounding patterns restrained so the birds and botanical tracery remain the focus.

Pair the warm ochre birds and botanical forms with quiet cream, walnut and deep brown accents for an atmospheric, collected interior.

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