Hyacinth Wallcovering Metal

Name: Hyacinth Wallcovering Metal
Brand: Mark Alexander

Hyacinth Wallcovering Metal has a quiet, architectural quality, with a field of small rectangular marks layered across a muted taupe-grey ground. Its restrained metallic glint becomes more apparent across the subtly uneven surface.

About this fabric

The design is built from irregular blocks and short rectangular fragments, creating a fine patchwork rhythm rather than a bold, repeating motif. Taupe, grey and softened stone tones shift gently across the surface, while pale metallic accents catch the light in scattered areas. The lightly textured appearance gives the wallcovering depth without making the pattern feel busy. As a wallpaper colourway, it brings a cool, composed finish to the room.

How to use it

Use this muted taupe-grey colourway across a full wall or as a quiet backdrop behind tailored furniture. Pair it with chalky stone, warm grey, aged metal and softly textured natural materials to echo its subtle tonal variation.

A softly reflective taupe-grey wallcovering that brings subtle pattern and depth to calm, contemporary interiors.

Hyacinth Wallcovering Metal 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.
