Burlap Wallcovering Parchment

Name: Burlap Wallcovering Parchment
Brand: Mark Alexander

Burlap Wallcovering Parchment brings a smoky taupe-brown tone and finely striated surface to the walls. In the photographed study, its muted warmth deepens the room without competing with the dark wood furniture.

About this fabric

Catalogued as wallpaper, this colourway has the quiet, earthy character of parchment shaded towards brown-grey. Fine horizontal fibres run across the surface, creating a closely spaced linear texture that catches the light unevenly rather than appearing flat. The low-contrast taupe-brown ground feels especially atmospheric beside the walnut-toned desk, black lamps and cognac leather chair shown here. No performance features are noted in the supplied specification.

How to use it

Use it across a study, library or reading room where the smoky taupe-brown tone can sit comfortably with dark timber, black metal and aged leather. Its subtle horizontal texture also works well as a restrained backdrop for warm, directional lighting.

Use this softly striated taupe-brown wallcovering to bring quiet depth to studies, libraries and layered, low-lit interiors.

Pairs well with

Burlap Wallcovering Parchment 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.
