About this fabric

The colour reads as a subdued grey-brown: warmer than a true grey, yet more restrained than a russet chestnut. A fine crosswoven grid is visible across the surface, adding gentle tonal variation and a softly tactile, paper-like character. Supplied as wallpaper, it offers a textural finish without a prominent printed pattern. No performance features are noted for this design.

How to use it

Use this muted grey-chestnut shade to bring quiet depth to a study, hallway or bedroom, especially alongside warm timber, stone and softened neutral furnishings. Its restrained woven texture can also balance stronger patterns elsewhere in the room.

A muted grey-chestnut ground with fine woven texture for quietly layered, textural interiors.

Pairs well with

Papier Chestnut 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.
