About this wallpaper

Acanthus leaves and curling stems fill the image in a close, large-scale arrangement, with fine internal vein lines giving each leaf a detailed, drawn character. The terracotta is muted rather than bright, appearing in dusty rose and clay accents alongside parchment, oat and pale beige leaves; the charcoal ground adds warm, shadowed depth. Supplied at 181 gsm, this wallpaper has a 52 cm usable width and a 10.05 m standard length. The pattern repeat is 61 cm vertically and 0 cm horizontally, so the design’s rhythm is carried by the upright foliage and sweeping stems.

How to use it

Use this warm terracotta colourway to bring depth to a dining room, study or bedroom, pairing its dusty clay and parchment leaves with dark timber, aged brass and soft neutral upholstery. The charcoal background can also anchor paler beige furnishings without losing the design’s rich, formal presence.

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.
