About this fabric

This Mark Alexander wallpaper combines deep indigo-black fields with narrow, broken lines that shift subtly from row to row. Uneven vertical divisions give the design the appearance of overlapping rectangular panels, while the pale marks add restrained contrast rather than a bright graphic accent. In the photographed interior, the colour reads cool and shadowed against the dark wall, with a gentle variation that prevents the surface from feeling flat. Its catalogued type is wallpaper, making the full-scale linear structure suitable for creating a dramatic feature wall or enveloping scheme.

How to use it

Pair Sidestep Indigo with smoked timber, blackened metal and warm woven accessories to balance its cool, almost midnight tone. It works particularly well in a study, dining room or intimate sitting space where the broken lines can read as quiet architectural detail.

Use the near-black indigo ground and quiet pale lines to bring depth to a modern, low-lit room.

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