Basketweave Stoneware

Name: Basketweave Stoneware
Brand: Mark Alexander

Basketweave Stoneware brings a quiet, woven-looking check to the broad feature wall shown in this light-filled living room. Its pale stone greige colouring sits gently between the cream seating and dark timber details.

About this fabric

The wallpaper has a small-scale basketweave check, built from closely spaced tonal squares rather than a bold, high-contrast motif. In this colourway, warm stone and cool grey-beige notes shift subtly across the surface, giving the wall gentle depth without visual busyness. The large installation shown behind the seating lets the restrained pattern read as texture from a distance, while its grid becomes clearer closer up. Against the exposed timber roof and pale upholstery, Stoneware has a composed, understated character.

How to use it

Use Stoneware across a large living-room wall, as shown, where its soft greige tone can bridge pale upholstery, walnut timber and charcoal accents without competing with them.

Use this quiet stone greige basketweave as a softly textured feature wall alongside timber, cream upholstery and natural flooring.

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