About this fabric

Catalogued as wallpaper, this colourway is defined by its continuous horizontal grasscloth texture rather than a printed motif. Fine linear bands shift between French grey, taupe and subdued earthy tones, creating restrained depth across the surface. The softly mixed colouring keeps the overall impression cool and muted, while the uneven thread variation prevents it from looking flat. Viewed closely, delicate tonal changes catch the light along the horizontal grain.

How to use it

Pair this cool French grey with pale oak, brushed metal and warm off-white upholstery to balance its taupe and earthy undertones. It would suit a study, bedroom or calm sitting room where the fine horizontal texture can remain the principal decorative detail.

Use this cool, layered grey wallcovering to add quiet horizontal texture behind tailored furniture and warm timber.

Reed Wallcovering French Grey 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.
