ARTIST'S CHECK Wallpaper - Noir

wallpaper Wallpaper1-WA-ATC-DI-NOI-004-XXX

ARTIST'S CHECK Wallpaper in Noir combines a deep black ground with softly uneven checks in muted blue-grey and warm camel. Its close-set grid feels graphic, but the irregular lines keep the repeat from appearing rigid.

About this fabric

The pattern is formed from intersecting black, blue-grey and camel bands, creating a medium-scale check with visibly varied line widths and gently wavering edges. The near-black ground gives the colourway strong depth, while the softened blue-grey introduces a cool note and the camel stripes add warmth. Rather than a crisp high-contrast monochrome, this combination reads as layered and atmospheric, with the blue-grey and camel checks breaking up the darkness. As a wallpaper design, it makes a distinctive all-over backdrop for rooms that can carry a confident geometric rhythm.

How to use it

Use the noir colourway across a feature wall or enveloping room, balancing its black depth with warm wood, camel upholstery and restrained blue-grey accents. Keep nearby patterns simple so the irregular check remains the focal point.

Use this noir check to give walls a graphic, softly irregular rhythm alongside warm timber and muted blue-grey furnishings.

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.
