Abac Patchwork Wallcovering in Alabaster is a quiet, pale cream design with a softly weathered patchwork structure. Its subtle tonal shifts give the light surface gentle depth without introducing strong contrast.

About this fabric

The image shows broad, lightly differentiated panels arranged in a loose horizontal and vertical grid. Fine crosswise and lengthwise lines create a delicate woven-looking texture, while the warm alabaster ground moves between ivory, cream and faint blush-beige. The low-contrast pattern reads softly at a distance, with close viewing revealing irregular marks and barely visible changes in opacity across each panel. This is a wallpaper from Mark Alexander’s Collage III collection, catalogued as a wallcovering rather than a textile.

How to use it

Pair this warm alabaster colourway with chalky whites, pale oak and natural linen for an airy, textural room. It also works as a gentle backdrop behind upholstered pieces in taupe, sand or muted blush.

Use its warm alabaster tone to create a softly layered backdrop with pale timber, linen and chalky neutrals.

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.
