Papier Gris

Papier Gris presents a pale, cool-leaning grey surface with a finely woven appearance. Its understated texture gives the colour gentle depth without introducing a visible decorative motif.

About this wallpaper

Seen close up, this wallpaper has a delicate crosshatched texture that softly breaks up the even grey ground. The shade sits between light grey and a muted greige, with a subtle warmth that keeps it from feeling stark. Fine tonal variation catches the light across the surface, creating a quiet, tactile finish while retaining a very restrained look. As no performance or construction specifications were supplied, this description focuses on the visible colour and surface character.

How to use it

Use Papier Gris across a full room where its pale grey tone can act as a calm architectural backdrop, or pair it with warm white, natural timber and softly aged stone. The fine woven texture is especially effective behind simple furniture, where its low-contrast surface adds depth without competing for attention.

A quietly textured pale-grey wallcovering for calm, tonal schemes and softly layered interiors.

Pairs well with

Papier Gris 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.
