About this fabric

The small houndstooth motifs form a dense, regular field of taupe and cream, with softened edges that keep the geometric repeat from appearing severe. The supplied specification gives this wallpaper a 52 cm usable width and a standard length of 10.05 m. Its vertical pattern repeat is 2.3 cm, while the horizontal repeat is listed as 0 cm. This compact, low-contrast colourway brings quiet structure to the wall while retaining a light neutral feel.

How to use it

Use the muted taupe-and-cream colourway across a study, bedroom or softly tailored living space where its fine repeat can add pattern without overwhelming the room. Pair it with warm whites, pale timber and understated taupe upholstery to echo its softened tonal depth.

Use this softly muted taupe-and-cream houndstooth to bring gentle pattern and quiet definition to a room.

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.
