About this fabric

This Harlequin wallpaper uses a 68.6cm usable width and a 61cm vertical pattern repeat, with no horizontal repeat specified. The visible colourway is grounded in soft taupe, while the koi are built from irregular white, pale grey and charcoal patches that give each fish a hand-painted, ink-wash character. At 153gsm, the paper has a substantial printed presence, and the 10.05m standard length supports extended runs with the aquatic pattern clearly maintained.

How to use it

Use the cool taupe ground as a quiet backdrop in a study, bedroom or dining room, then pick out the charcoal and pale grey koi markings in lampshades, painted joinery or upholstery. Keep surrounding finishes restrained so the flowing fish remain the focal point.

Pair the muted taupe ground with warm neutrals, charcoal accents and pale grey upholstery for a composed, gallery-like scheme.

A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside Koi Wide Width Metal 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.
