Strawberry Thief Old Fashioned

Bedford Park Wallpapers WallpaperMOW0101-02

This Old Fashioned colourway sets the Strawberry Thief scene against a deep charcoal-black ground, making the coral-pink birds and pale flowers stand forward. Blue-grey foliage, warm brown stems and muted ochre leaves add layered depth across the richly illustrated surface.

About this wallpaper

Perched birds, curling leaves and clustered flowers form a dense, large-scale arrangement in coral, blush pink, cream, blue-grey, brown and ochre against the dark ground. The 42 cm vertical repeat gives the composition a clearly measured rhythm, while the horizontal repeat is supplied as 0 cm. This wallpaper has a usable width of 68.6 cm, a standard length of 10.05 m and a listed weight of 150 gsm. Its near-black background gives the lighter birds and blossoms a dramatic, high-contrast presence without losing the softer detail in the foliage.

How to use it

Use the deep charcoal ground to bring depth to a study, dining room or reading nook, then pick up the coral birds and blush flowers with small accents in the room. Blue-grey foliage and warm ochre details offer quieter companion tones for painted woodwork or furnishings.

A richly detailed Morris & Co. wallpaper that balances a deep charcoal ground with coral birds, pale flowers and blue-grey foliage.

A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside Strawberry Thief Old Fashioned 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.
