Checkerboard Wallcovering Chai

Name: Checkerboard Wallcovering Chai
Brand: Kirkby Design

Checkerboard Wallcovering Chai brings a warm, architectural rhythm to the wall, combining chai-tan and soft cream blocks in a carefully ordered geometric layout. Narrow grouped stripes add a distinctive interruption to the larger checkerboard forms.

About this fabric

This wallpaper is formed from alternating tan and cream rectangular blocks, with slim vertical stripe groupings cutting through selected sections of the repeat. The chai tone reads as warm and softly muted rather than bright, giving the pattern a grounded, inviting character. Fine surface texture is visible across the coloured areas, subtly tempering the precision of the graphic design. As a wallpaper from Kirkby Design’s Wallcoverings Vol 2 collection, it is intended as a wall covering rather than an upholstery or drapery textile.

How to use it

Pair this warm chai colourway with natural timber, cream upholstery and restrained black accents to balance its graphic geometry. It works particularly well where the ordered block pattern can be seen across a broad, uninterrupted wall.

Use the warm chai-and-cream geometry to bring ordered, graphic warmth to a room.

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