Plait Wallcovering Bark

Name: Plait Wallcovering Bark
Brand: Mark Alexander

Plait Wallcovering Bark has a warm, earthy brown ground with a closely packed plaited texture visible across the surface. The fine weave-like pattern creates gentle tonal movement rather than a bold graphic effect.

About this fabric

Catalogued as wallpaper, this colourway is shown in a rich bark brown that sits between warm medium brown and softened taupe. Tiny interlaced marks form a restrained plait effect, while darker and lighter threads give the surface a subtly irregular, tactile appearance. Its earthy depth reads grounded and enveloping, with the texture catching light in small, quiet shifts rather than a sheen.

How to use it

Pair this warm bark brown with natural timber, linen and muted stone shades for a calm, layered interior. Its small-scale plaited texture is particularly effective on a study, snug or hallway where close-up detail can be appreciated.

Use this warm bark tone to bring finely textured, earthy depth to a study, hallway or quiet living space.

Pairs well with

Plait Wallcovering Bark 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.
