EQUUS Wallpaper - Cocoa

wallpaper Wallpaper1-WA-EQU-DI-CHO-XXX-004

EQUUS Wallpaper in Cocoa presents a close-up zebra face in sweeping, irregular stripes. The warm cocoa-brown pattern sits against a soft ivory ground, giving the design a distinctly graphic, high-contrast character.

About this fabric

The large-scale animal motif is built from curved cocoa-brown and ivory stripes that follow the contours of the zebra’s face, ears and muzzle. In this colourway, the dark tone reads warmer and earthier than black, while the ivory ground keeps the dense pattern visually clear. The printed design has a bold, almost sculptural appearance as the stripes converge through the centre of the face. Catalogued as wallpaper, it is suited to creating a dramatic focal wall rather than a quiet background.

How to use it

Pair Cocoa with warm timber, aged brass and deep brown furnishings to reinforce its earthy depth, or use it against plain ivory pieces for a sharper graphic contrast.

Use this high-contrast cocoa and ivory design as a dramatic feature wall in a richly layered room.

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.
