Akoa Platinum

Colour 2 Wallpapers WallpaperHAW0024-01

Akoa Platinum pairs a chalky ivory background with softly distressed taupe-grey lines, forming an open lattice of irregular painted panels. Small botanical flourishes gather at the intersections, giving the orderly layout a weathered, hand-worked character.

About this wallpaper

The visible design is predominantly pale ivory, with cool taupe and greige brush marks outlining broad rectangular sections and broken horizontal bars. Leaf-like corner details interrupt the grid, while scattered faded marks within the panels add depth without making the colourway feel busy. This wallpaper has a 52 cm useable width and a 68.6 cm vertical pattern repeat, with no horizontal repeat recorded. At 181 gsm, it is supplied in a standard 10.05 m length.

How to use it

Use Akoa Platinum across a bedroom, hallway or quietly decorative sitting room where its cool ivory ground can lighten the walls and its taupe framework can echo aged timber, stone or warm grey upholstery. Hang it as a continuous backdrop when the large 68.6 cm repeat can be appreciated.

Use this softly weathered ivory-and-taupe design to bring gentle structure to a room without introducing strong colour.

A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside Akoa Platinum 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.
