About this fabric

The colourway reads as a muted, earthy sepia-taupe, with lighter threads and softly shaded blocks creating gentle depth across the surface. Fine horizontal and vertical lines form an irregular woven grid, while the panel joins remain deliberately understated. The overall effect is warm and atmospheric rather than high-contrast, allowing the wallcovering’s quiet texture to carry the design. As a wallpaper, it offers the visual interest of a patchwork textile in a restrained, neutral palette.

How to use it

Use this warm sepia-taupe colourway across a study, bedroom or snug where its low-contrast patchwork can add texture without overwhelming the room. Pair it with natural timber, aged brass and softly worn neutrals to bring out its earthy depth.

A warm, quietly textured wallcovering that brings depth without introducing strong contrast.

Abac Patchwork Wallcovering Sepia is a quiet cloth, so it carries a pattern beside it: one of these on the curtains and this on the chair. 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.
