About this fabric

Catalogued as wallpaper, this colourway has a compact, closely spaced grid formed from slender rectangular strokes and fine vertical texture. The grey shifts between charcoal, pewter and lighter metallic notes across the surface, creating depth without a bold contrast. Its precise linear structure reads as contemporary and architectural, while the softly uneven texture prevents the pattern from feeling flat. The small-scale design is particularly effective when a quietly patterned grey backdrop is wanted.

How to use it

Use Anagram Metal behind shelving, in a study or as a refined feature wall where its cool pewter-grey tone can balance warm timber, blackened metal and pale upholstery. Pair it with soft lighting to bring out the variation between its darker charcoal lines and lighter metallic flecks.

Use this cool metallic grey design to add quiet texture and a softly reflective, structured backdrop.

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