Enigmatic Japanese Ink/Origami

Name: Enigmatic Japanese Ink/Origami
Brand: Harlequin
SKU: HAW0232-01

Enigmatic Japanese Ink/Origami makes a striking first impression with dense black, gestural brush marks crossing a pale ivory ground. Fine ink-like speckling fills the open areas, giving the large abstract composition a wonderfully worked, expressive quality.

About this fabric

This Colour 2 colourway is defined by a cool, near-black ink tone against a softly warm off-white background. Broad looping strokes, feathered edges and scattered flecks create a layered motif that resembles spontaneous Japanese brushwork rather than a regular geometric repeat. The wallpaper has a usable width of 68.5 cm and a substantial listed weight of 324 gsm, with a 300 cm vertical pattern repeat. Supplied in a standard 13.35 m length, it offers a bold, continuous statement for a feature wall or expansive interior scheme.

How to use it

Pair the cool black ink with ivory, charcoal and pale timber for a restrained monochrome room, or let the warm off-white ground soften richer wood and brushed-metal accents. Its large-scale movement is especially effective on a single architectural wall where the looping marks can be read at full height.

Use this dramatic black-and-ivory design as a feature wall against restrained, tactile furnishings.

A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside Enigmatic Japanese Ink/Origami 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.
