Raffia Gunmetal

Name: Raffia Gunmetal
Brand: Mark Alexander

Raffia Gunmetal brings a deep gunmetal-grey presence to the wall, with fine horizontal fibres that create a softly weathered surface. In the photographed bedroom, its dark, layered tone gives the bed a quietly enveloping backdrop.

About this fabric

The colour sits between charcoal grey and muted brown, giving the wall a cool, grounded depth rather than a flat black appearance. Closely spaced horizontal striations remain visible across the surface, while broad tonal changes and vertical joins add the look of softly constructed panels. Light catches some of the fibres unevenly, creating restrained variation across the darker ground. Shown behind pale bedding, dark velvet cushions and warm wood, this colourway balances shadow with tactile detail.

How to use it

Pair Raffia Gunmetal with ivory bedding, charcoal textiles and walnut-toned wood, as shown, to soften its deep grey depth. It also suits intimate bedrooms or snug rooms where a darker, textured wall can create a cocooning mood.

Use this deep, cool-toned wallpaper to create a quiet, enveloping backdrop for lighter bedding and warm wood.

Pairs well with

Raffia Gunmetal 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.
