About this fabric

The Shell colourway reads as a light warm ivory with a delicate grey-beige cast, rather than a stark white. Fine vertical striations run through the surface, while subtle tonal mottling gives the otherwise quiet ground a softly weathered depth. The understated texture catches the light in narrow shifts, making this wallpaper feel calm and gently dimensional across a wall.

How to use it

Pair this pale shell ivory with natural oak, chalky painted furniture and warm linen accents for a light, quiet scheme. Its faint vertical movement also works well behind simplified furniture where the wall texture can provide the detail.

Use this pale shell shade to create softly textured walls that feel light, calm and subtly layered.

Blend Wallcovering Shell is a quiet cloth, so it carries a pattern beside it: one of these on the curtains and this on the chair. 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.
