Acanthus Manilla/Stone

Archive IV The Collector Wallpapers WallpaperMOW0061-03

Acanthus Manilla/Stone layers sweeping Acanthus leaves in chalky stone, warm beige and soft grey, with fine dark outlines defining every curling stem and serrated edge. The dense foliage has a quiet, weathered depth rather than a bright or high-contrast finish.

About this fabric

From Morris & Co.’s Archive IV The Collector Wallpapers collection, this colourway combines pale stone leaves with taupe-beige ground tones and cooler grey passages. Fine charcoal linework traces the leaves and curling Acanthus stems, giving the closely packed botanical pattern a drawn, almost illustrative character. The wallpaper has a usable width of 52 cm and a standard length of 10.05 m, with a 64 cm vertical pattern repeat and no horizontal repeat. At 169 gsm, it is a substantial wallpaper specification suited to repeating this intricate foliage across a wall.

How to use it

Use the muted stone-grey and beige palette in a study, bedroom or snug alongside warm timber, chalky paintwork and softly aged upholstery. Its cool grey outlines add definition while the taupe ground keeps the overall effect gentle and restrained.

A softly muted stone-grey botanical wallpaper that brings layered foliage and gentle contrast to a room.

Pairs well with

A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside Acanthus Manilla/Stone without fighting it. 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.
