About this fabric

This wallpaper colourway alternates muted blue-grey with earthy taupe stripes, creating a cool overall impression balanced by the warmth of the brown-beige bands. The lines are gently uneven rather than rigid, so the vertical pattern feels drawn and organic. Subtle tonal variation across the stripes adds depth without making the design appear busy. As a wallpaper, it brings this softly graphic rhythm directly to the wall.

How to use it

Pair the blue-grey ground with pale stone, chalky white and weathered timber, then echo the taupe stripes in warm oak or tan upholstery. It works especially well where a vertical pattern is wanted in a restrained, low-contrast palette.

Use this cool, muted blue-grey and taupe stripe to add gentle rhythm to a room without introducing a strong contrast.

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.
