Papier Metal

Papier Metal presents a cool, muted metal-grey surface with a fine woven-looking texture. Subtle shifts in tone give the plain ground gentle depth rather than a flat finish.

About this wallpaper

The colour sits between soft grey and a restrained green-grey, creating a quiet metal-like impression across the surface. A fine crosshatched texture is visible at close range, while delicate vertical tonal variation adds understated movement. As a wallpaper from Mark Alexander’s Paperweave collection, Papier Metal offers a textural alternative to a completely plain wallcovering without introducing a distinct motif.

How to use it

Pair this cool metal-grey wallpaper with pale timber, brushed metal and soft stone tones for a calm contemporary interior. Its muted depth also works well behind darker charcoal or olive accents.

Use this cool metal-grey ground to bring quiet depth to contemporary rooms and layered neutral schemes.

Pairs well with

Papier Metal 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.
