Duo Acaba Wallcovering Ocean presents a deep, cool blue-grey ground crossed by exceptionally fine horizontal lines. Its close tonal shifts create a softly layered surface rather than a bold, graphic pattern.

About this fabric

The colour moves between charcoal, slate and muted blue-green, giving the wallcovering a low-lit ocean depth. Closely packed horizontal striations run across the swatch, with occasional lighter threads adding restrained movement to the surface. The texture reads as finely ribbed and tactile in appearance, while the dark tone keeps the overall effect composed and enveloping. As a wallpaper design, it is suited to creating a continuous, atmospheric backdrop rather than an overt decorative motif.

How to use it

Pair this cool Ocean colourway with pale oak, smoked timber and soft grey upholstery to balance its dark blue-grey depth. It would give a study or snug a calm, cocooning character without introducing a strong pattern.

Use this cool, deep blue-grey wallcovering to bring quiet depth to a study, media room or contemporary sitting room.

Duo Acaba Wallcovering Ocean 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.
