Papier Heath

Name: Papier Heath
Brand: Mark Alexander

Papier Heath has a subdued olive-grey tone that shifts softly between green, taupe and grey across the surface. Its close-up texture reads as a fine, woven-looking grid rather than a pronounced printed motif.

About this fabric

Specified as wallpaper, Papier Heath is shown here with a restrained crosshatched surface and very little visual contrast. The muted heath tone feels cool and earthy, while the fine vertical and horizontal texture gives the flat colour gentle depth. Subtle tonal variation across the image keeps the finish from appearing plain, without creating a directional pattern or large-scale repeat.

How to use it

Pair this olive-grey colourway with warm timber, chalky stone and soft off-white furnishings for a calm, grounded room. Its low-contrast texture also works well behind artwork, where it adds depth without competing with the display.

Use this quietly tonal olive-grey wallpaper to add woven-looking depth without introducing a strong pattern.

Pairs well with

Papier Heath 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.
