Acanthus Charcoal/Grey

Acanthus Charcoal/Grey layers pale, finely outlined acanthus leaves over a deep charcoal ground, with cool grey and muted taupe foliage adding tonal depth. The dense arrangement reads as richly archival rather than brightly decorative.

About this fabric

The pattern is dominated by curling acanthus leaves in chalky ivory and soft grey, with warmer stone-taupe leaves receding into the charcoal background. Fine internal linework traces each serrated leaf and gives the flat printed surface a strong sense of movement. This wallpaper has a 52 cm usable width, a 64 cm vertical pattern repeat and a 0 cm horizontal repeat. At 169 gsm, it is supplied in a standard 10.05 m length.

How to use it

Use this colourway across a study, library or dining room where the cool charcoal ground can create enveloping depth. Balance the dense foliage with warm timber, aged brass and quiet ivory upholstery to pick up the lighter leaves.

A dramatic charcoal ground lets the pale acanthus foliage bring depth and a softly historic character to walls.

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.
