Savanna Bark

Name: Savanna Bark
Brand: Mark Alexander

Savanna Bark layers a warm taupe-grey ground with delicate horizontal striations and irregular ivory bands. The restrained contrast gives the design a softly architectural, weathered character.

About this fabric

The wallpaper is visibly built from closely spaced horizontal lines, creating a finely ribbed effect across the surface. Uneven stepped bands in pale ivory interrupt the taupe-grey field, with some edges appearing softened rather than sharply geometric. This colourway reads warm and muted, balancing stone-like depth with light cream accents. The linear composition feels ordered at a distance but gains subtle movement as the eye follows the broken bands.

How to use it

Use Savanna Bark to bring quiet structure to a study, bedroom or relaxed sitting room, where its warm taupe-grey tone can sit comfortably with ivory upholstery, pale timber and aged brass.

Pair the softly weathered taupe-grey ground with warm ivory, stone and natural timber tones.

A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside Savanna Bark without fighting it. 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.
