Oriental Bird Mole

Oriental Bird Mole combines a quiet mole-taupe ground with an intricate garden of flowering branches, perched birds and fine trailing stems. Coral, saffron yellow, sage and olive accents bring gentle colour without disturbing its softened, antique character.

About this fabric

This 100% non-woven wallpaper is patterned with twisting grey-brown branches, small birds and layered botanical sprays. The muted taupe ground gives the design a cool, softly weathered depth, while coral blooms, pale yellow flowers and sage-green leaves provide restrained points of colour. At 70 cm wide, the design has a 63 cm vertical pattern repeat, allowing the repeating garden scene to flow continuously across the wall. The detailed arrangement and subdued palette give this colourway a composed, formal feel.

How to use it

Use the mole-taupe ground as a calm backdrop in a bedroom, study or sitting room, pairing it with warm ivory, aged timber and upholstery in faded coral or olive. Keep surrounding finishes quiet so the small birds and branching floral detail remain legible.

A softly muted taupe botanical wallpaper, lifted by coral, saffron and sage details.

Pairs well with

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