About this fabric

The central gorilla is rendered in detailed silver, grey and black, with its exposed ribcage creating a bold focal point within the repeat. Around it, saturated teal leaves, turquoise fronds and acid-lime botanical shapes stand out crisply against the charcoal background, while the copper-toned basket and pale geometric forms add warmth. This wallpaper has a usable width of 52 cm, a 32 cm vertical pattern repeat and a standard length of 10.05 m. At 150 gsm, it is a substantial wallpaper specification for carrying this intricate, large-scale illustrated scene across a wall.

How to use it

Use Silverback Charcoal on a feature wall or in a richly layered study, snug or entertaining space, pairing its cool charcoal and teal tones with dark timber, aged brass and touches of copper. Echo the lime-green foliage sparingly in cushions, ceramics or painted joinery so the illustrated gorilla remains the focus.

Use this dramatic charcoal ground to frame jewel-toned furnishings, brass accents and layered botanical interiors.

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