Name: Protea Charcoal
Brand: Emma Shipley
SKU: CCW0044-02

Protea Charcoal places cream-striped zebras and a spotted white big cat across a deep charcoal ground, surrounded by curling branches, leaves and seedpod details. Olive-yellow foliage brings sharp, botanical flashes of colour to the otherwise nocturnal palette.

About this fabric

The dark charcoal background gives this illustrated wallpaper considerable depth, while the cream animals and pale grey detailing remain clearly defined against it. Zebra stripes, leopard-like spots, expressive feline faces and botanical forms create a densely layered scene rather than a simple repeating motif. The supplied usable width is 52 cm, with a 52 cm vertical pattern repeat and a standard length of 10.05 m. At 150 gsm, the wallpaper has a comparatively light specification for a richly detailed design.

How to use it

Use Protea Charcoal across a snug, reading room or cloakroom where its cool charcoal depth can be balanced with warm wood, aged metal and olive or mustard accessories. The cream animals provide small areas of light that help the pattern retain definition on the wall.

A dramatic charcoal animal scene that pairs especially well with warm timber, aged brass and muted olive accents.

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