About this fabric

This wallpaper colourway centres on a near-black midnight blue ground, punctuated by pale leaves, muted reds, warm ochres, soft lilac and flashes of pink. The large-scale repeat includes flamingos, birds, monkeys, small mammals and an owl-like figure, arranged along looping botanical stems. Fine leaf outlines and softly shaded animal forms bring a detailed, illustrative texture to the design, while the dark ground keeps the overall impression moody and immersive. As a wallpaper design, it is particularly suited to creating a dramatic feature wall or enveloping maximalist interior.

How to use it

Use Midnight in a study, dining room or snug where its cool, ink-dark ground can create depth. Echo the illustrated pinks, rusts and muted greens in upholstery, ceramics or artwork rather than introducing a competing pattern.

Use this richly illustrated wallpaper as a dramatic feature wall, pairing its midnight ground with warm wood and jewel-toned accents.

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.
