Kinabalu Wide Width Linen

Zapara Wallpaper Edit WallpaperHAW0120-01

Kinabalu Wide Width Linen pairs a softly greige ground with ivory elephants, sweeping palms and finely patterned botanical details. The low-contrast palette gives the wildlife scene a quiet, chalky presence rather than a brightly coloured tropical effect.

About this wallpaper

The large-scale scene shows a standing elephant and calf surrounded by arching palm fronds, leafy stems and small geometric border-like motifs. Ivory and distressed off-white detailing creates a lightly weathered, screen-printed appearance across the warm greige background. This wallpaper has a 68.6 cm usable width, a 10.05 m standard length and a 64 cm vertical pattern repeat, with no horizontal repeat. The supplied weight is 153 gsm, making the printed detail feel visually substantial while retaining the pale, softly layered character seen in the swatch.

How to use it

Use the muted greige and ivory colourway in a reading room, bedroom or calm entrance scheme, where its elephant and palm composition can act as the principal decorative layer. Balance the pale ground with warm timber, natural linen and restrained brass accents rather than high-contrast colour.

Use this softly greige and ivory mural-style design to bring an atmospheric botanical and wildlife layer to a room.

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