Offset Wallcovering Chalk

Offset Wallcovering Chalk brings a cool, paper-bright ground together with crisp black linework arranged in offset rectangular sections. The result is a light, graphic wall covering with a distinctly ordered rhythm.

About this wallpaper

Offset Wallcovering Chalk is a wallpaper design built from offset rectangular sections of thin horizontal black lines on a chalk-pale ground. The line groups vary in density: some bands are airy and fine, while others read as darker, more emphatic bars, giving the otherwise light scheme a measured graphic rhythm. The supplied layout marks an approximately 27.5in (70cm) vertical repeat across 36in (91cm) horizontal sections. In this colourway, the near-white chalk background keeps the pattern cool, clean and bright, while the black accents provide crisp contrast.

How to use it

Use this chalk-and-black colourway where a room needs graphic definition without a heavy block of colour, such as a study, hallway or contemporary dining space. Pair it with pale timber, black accents and quiet neutral upholstery to echo the artwork’s sharp contrast.

Use this crisp chalk-and-black graphic to bring measured contrast to a contemporary or monochrome interior.

A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside Offset Wallcovering Chalk 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.
