About this wallpaper

The design is built from regular square motifs, each framed by angled, gem-like bands that create a stepped octagonal impression. Its central steel blue-grey panels have a calm, muted depth, while the pale grey bevels catch the eye against sharp charcoal details. The close repetition gives the wallcovering a precise architectural rhythm rather than a soft or organic feel. This is a wallpaper from Kirkby Design’s X Eley Kishimoto Wallcoverings collection.

How to use it

Use this steel-grey wallcovering on a feature wall with charcoal furniture, brushed metal and pale timber to balance its cool, graphic geometry. Its restrained blue-grey tone also works well with crisp white and concrete-inspired finishes.

Use this cool steel-grey geometric wallcovering to bring structured contrast to contemporary rooms, especially alongside black, white or pale timber.

A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside Gem Blocks Wallcovering Steel 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.
