Abaca Ochre

Name: Abaca Ochre
Brand: Mark Alexander

Abaca Ochre has a softly earthy ochre-brown ground, with fine horizontal fibres creating a calm, tactile surface across the wallpaper. Its muted colouring gives the swatch a warm, tobacco-like depth rather than a bright yellow cast.

About this fabric

The wallpaper shows closely spaced horizontal strands and delicate irregular shading, giving the surface the recognisable linear character of grasscloth. In this colourway, ochre is softened with brown, so the overall impression is grounded and low-contrast. Slight shifts between lighter and darker threads catch the light without forming a decorative motif. Abaca Ochre is catalogued as wallpaper from Mark Alexander’s Grasscloth collection.

How to use it

Use Abaca Ochre to bring warm, natural depth to a room with timber, aged brass, tan leather or softly coloured upholstery. Its restrained horizontal texture works particularly well where a room needs warmth and surface interest without a bold pattern.

A warm, earthy grasscloth texture that adds quiet depth to walls without introducing a strong motif.

Pairs well with

Abaca Ochre 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.
