Washi Indigo

Washi Indigo appears in the photograph as a very pale, cool grey wallpaper with a softly clouded surface. Subtle shifts from silver-grey to near white give the colourway a quiet sense of depth.

About this fabric

The visible surface is softly mottled rather than sharply patterned, with translucent-looking patches that move gently across the pale ground. Although called Indigo, this colourway reads as a restrained silvery grey in the supplied image, with no strong blue saturation. The sample is shown in six broad rectangular sections, divided by fine horizontal and vertical lines that emphasise its large-scale, panelled appearance. Its low-contrast tonal variation keeps the overall effect calm while preventing the surface from appearing completely flat.

How to use it

Pair this cool, pale grey wallpaper with chalky whites, soft stone and weathered silver for a light, tranquil scheme. Its quiet tonal movement can also temper darker charcoal or indigo accents without competing with them.

Use this cool, misted grey to create a quiet backdrop with subtle tonal depth.

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