Mallow Soft Gold

Melsetter Wallpapers WallpaperMOW0086-03

Mallow Soft Gold brings a softly luminous botanical pattern to the wall, with cream flowers, curling leaves and fine stems set against a muted golden ground. Its pale contrast keeps the densely drawn design feeling light rather than dramatic.

About this fabric

The swatch shows a warm, soft-gold background layered with ivory and cream botanical forms, including open flowers, buds, pointed leaves and winding stems. The low-contrast palette gives the floral drawing a gentle, chalky depth, while the closely spaced motifs create an all-over rhythm across the surface. This wallpaper has a 52 cm usable width and a 30.5 cm vertical pattern repeat, making the scale easy to assess when planning a room. At 192 gsm, it has a substantial paper specification suited to considered wallcovering schemes.

How to use it

Use Mallow Soft Gold across a bedroom, sitting room or softly lit hallway where its warm gold tone can echo timber, woven textures and antique brass. Balance the busy botanical surface with plain ivory upholstery and restrained natural linen.

Pair the muted gold ground with warm whites, natural woods and softly aged brass for a calm, heritage-inspired scheme.

A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside Mallow Soft Gold 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.
