Seagrass Paprika is a warm, earthy wallpaper with a muted paprika-brown ground and closely spaced horizontal striations. The fine lines vary gently in tone, giving the surface a softly textured, grasscloth-like appearance.

About this fabric

The colour sits between brown and terracotta, with a subdued russet warmth rather than a bright red finish. Fine horizontal marks run across the image in uneven, lightly contrasting bands, creating a calm linear rhythm. Small shifts between deeper brown and lighter paprika threads add depth without forming a bold motif. This is a wallpaper from Mark Alexander’s Grasscloth collection, with its visual character coming from the close, tactile-looking surface variation.

How to use it

Pair this warm paprika-brown wallpaper with natural timber, aged brass and soft cream upholstery for an earthy scheme. Its quiet horizontal texture also works well behind darker wood or olive accents, where the russet undertone can add gentle warmth.

Use this warm, finely striated paprika tone to bring subtle texture and earthy depth to a room.

Pairs well with

Seagrass Paprika 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.
