About this wallpaper

This Harlequin wallpaper is defined by scattered, low-contrast bands that resemble rubbed or brushed marks across the taupe ground. Blue-grey striations sit alongside muted sage and pale grey details, giving the colourway a cool glint without losing its warm neutral base. The usable width is 68.6 cm, with a 68.6 cm vertical pattern repeat and no horizontal repeat. It is supplied in a standard 10.05 m length, allowing the broken motif to continue naturally across a wall.

How to use it

Use Kengai Glint/Taupe across a bedroom, study or sitting-room wall where its warm taupe base can soften timber and natural fibres. Pick up the blue-grey glints with faded blue upholstery, stone tones or brushed metal accents.

Use this warm taupe ground to bring softly weathered blue-grey and sage detail to calm, layered interiors.

Pairs well with

A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside Kengai Glint/Taupe 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.
