Tear Wallcovering Carbon

Tear Wallcovering Carbon presents a deep charcoal-grey ground interrupted by irregular, torn-looking layers. Fine horizontal ribbing runs across the surface, giving the dark colour subtle movement and tactile depth.

About this wallpaper

Catalogued as wallpaper, this Carbon colourway combines large, organic torn shapes with closely spaced horizontal lines. The layered forms shift between softly raised-looking solid areas and ribbed sections, creating a pronounced relief effect in the image. Its cool, deep grey tone reads as moody and architectural rather than warm, while the linear texture catches the light in narrow bands. The result is a graphic wallcovering with a distinctly tactile, dimensional character.

How to use it

Use Carbon on a feature wall in a contemporary living room, study or hallway, pairing its deep grey tone with pale stone, blackened metal and warm timber. Keep surrounding patterns restrained so the torn layers and ribbed texture remain the focus.

Use this deep carbon shade to add layered, tactile drama to a contemporary room.

Pairs well with

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