Name: Helter Skelter Ink

Helter Skelter Ink brings a cool, deep blue-green ground to a rhythmic vertical pattern of almond-shaped forms. Pale sage scallops and slim rust-coloured curves give the design its distinctive layered contrast.

About this fabric

This Linwood colourway is catalogued as wallpaper and is supplied here as a 50cm x 50cm sample. Repeating ogee shapes run in orderly columns, with serrated pale sage edges surrounding dark ink centres and warm rust lines tracing the outer curves. The blue reads deep and slightly muted rather than bright, allowing the lighter pattern details to catch the eye without losing the design’s substantial, graphic feel. Its supplied tags identify the pattern as Geometric / Abstract, Stripe and New Classic.

How to use it

Use the deep ink-blue ground to give a study, snug or hallway a cooler, enveloping backdrop, then pick up the pale sage in painted joinery or upholstery. Small rust accents in lighting or ceramics will echo the curved lines without competing with the repeat.

A graphic New Classic wallpaper pairing a cool ink ground with pale sage and warm rust accents.

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.
