About this fabric

The cool ink-blue feathers provide the strongest contrast against the taupe ground, while ivory birds and leaves soften the overall impression. Slender blue and cream foliage is layered throughout the scene, creating a large-scale botanical composition with an open, atmospheric feel. This wallpaper has a useable width of 68.6 cm and a standard roll length of 10.05 m. Its vertical pattern repeat is 68.6 cm, with a horizontal repeat of 0 cm, and the supplied weight is 153 gsm.

How to use it

Use the taupe ground as a gentle neutral in a bedroom, reading room or hallway, then echo the ink-blue wings in painted joinery, upholstery or accessories. Keep surrounding furniture simple so the ivory birds and sweeping foliage remain the focal point.

Use this taupe, ink blue and ivory bird design to bring an airy, illustrated garden scene to bedrooms, hallways or a feature wall.

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.
