About this fabric

This colourway is catalogued as wallpaper, with a bold repeat of alternating orange and cream rectangular checks. The tangelo orange reads warm, vivid and energetic rather than muted, while the cream squares provide a light counterpoint. Narrow vertical stripe groupings break up the larger blocks and add extra movement to the geometric layout. No performance features are noted for this wallpaper.

How to use it

Use this warm tangelo colourway on a feature wall where its orange-and-cream contrast can bring lively graphic energy to a room. Balance the strong repeat with simple furnishings in cream, pale timber or warm neutral tones.

Use the warm tangelo and cream contrast to create a lively, graphic feature wall.

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