About this fabric

The design is filled with rolling wave forms, fine flowing lines and frothy, cloud-like crests, creating noticeable movement across the surface. Deep indigo gives the colourway its cool depth, while softer blue, lilac and pale cream details bring definition to each curling motif. This is a non-woven wallpaper approximately 70cm wide, supplied in a 10m length with a 45.7cm side match. Apply paste to the wall; the finished surface is spongeable for care.

How to use it

Use The Wave Indigo on a feature wall in a study, bedroom or coastal-inspired sitting room, where its cool indigo ground can sit alongside pale woods, chalky neutrals and brushed metal. The lilac notes soften the stronger blue and help the repeat feel decorative rather than stark.

Use this cool indigo wave repeat to bring movement and layered blue depth to walls.

A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside The Wave Indigo 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.
