Gesture Wallcovering in Whitewash pairs a warm, pale cream ground with lightly drawn grey-beige marks. The restrained contrast keeps the abstract pattern airy, quiet and distinctly chalky in tone.

About this fabric

The Whitewash colourway is a soft warm cream rather than a stark white, giving the wall a gently aged, powdery appearance. Fine, irregular lines drift across the surface in loose arcs, fragments and elongated gestures, with their muted grey-beige tone just visible against the ground. A delicate crosshatched texture can be seen beneath the pattern, adding a subtle tactile quality without disturbing the calm composition. Catalogued as wallpaper, it brings a low-contrast, hand-drawn character to the wall while retaining an understated overall effect.

How to use it

Use this warm whitewash shade across a bedroom, study or quiet sitting room where its pale ground can reflect light without feeling clinical. Balance the fine gestural marks with chalky neutrals, light oak and softly textured fabrics.

Use this warm whitewash ground to soften a room with pale timber, natural textures and quietly tonal furnishings.

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.
