Kobe Wallcovering Rust brings a warm, earthy rust-brown tone to the wall, crossed by fine horizontal striations. Irregular lighter bands and block-like interruptions give the surface a quietly layered, woven appearance.

About this fabric

Catalogued as wallpaper, this colourway is built around a deep rust-brown ground with a subtly varied, linear surface. Fine horizontal lines run continuously across the image, while broader pale brown and beige bands appear at intervals in softly broken sections. The restrained contrast keeps the pattern calm, but the uneven banding adds depth when viewed across a larger wall. Its warm, muted tone gives the design a grounded, enveloping character rather than a bright or highly saturated finish.

How to use it

Pair this rust-brown wallcovering with tobacco leather, dark timber and aged brass for a warm, collected room. It also works against oatmeal or soft stone upholstery, which will pick up the lighter horizontal bands without competing with them.

Use this warm rust-brown ground to bring earthy depth to a study, dining room or intimate sitting space.

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.
