About this fabric

Printed at 169 gsm, Acanthus Madder/Thyme has a substantial paper presence suited to its intricate, closely drawn foliage. The 52 cm usable width carries a dense arrangement of sweeping acanthus leaves, with parchment and ochre fronds standing out clearly against the wine-red ground. A standard length is 10.05 m, with a 64 cm vertical pattern repeat and a 0 cm horizontal repeat. Its restrained sage and olive greens temper the burgundy, while the warm leaf tones give the design an aged, archival depth.

How to use it

Use the madder-burgundy ground to give a dining room, study or bedroom a warm, enveloping character. Repeat the sage and olive greens in painted joinery or upholstery, while parchment accents can lighten the scheme without competing with the foliage.

Use this richly layered botanical wallpaper to bring burgundy depth and muted green contrast to a classic interior.

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.
