About this fabric

The pattern is filled with large curling leaves, sharply defined by fine black outlines and detailed internal veining. Soft icy blue and cream leaves sit alongside darker teal foliage, creating clear tonal contrast without losing the richness of the midnight background. The layered composition feels ornate and formal, while the cooler blue palette gives it a fresher, more atmospheric character than a warm botanical scheme. This is a wallpaper design intended for wall covering rather than upholstery or drapery.

How to use it

Pair the midnight ground with dark painted wood, aged brass and cool neutral upholstery, or use it behind a bed or built-in shelves to make the pale blue foliage stand out. In a dining room or study, repeat the teal notes through ceramics, cushions or painted cabinetry.

Use this cool, high-contrast botanical wallpaper to create a richly layered feature wall in a study, bedroom or dining room.

A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside ACANTHUS Wallpaper - Blue & Midnight 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.
