Morris 160th Anniversary Wallpaper WallpaperMOW0044-03

This Silver colourway reads as a cool, pale wash of grey rather than a stark white, with fine darker tracery giving the scrolling leaves and flower heads soft, etched clarity. Across the swatch, ornate foliage forms a continuous, closely packed rhythm.

About this fabric

Pale silver-grey ground and slightly deeper grey outlines give Bachelors Button Silver a cool, misted appearance. The visible design combines curling acanthus leaves, rounded floral clusters and fine tendrils in a dense ornamental field, while the restrained contrast keeps the drawing light rather than high-impact. Supplied at 52 cm usable width in a standard 10.05 m length, it has a 45.7 cm vertical repeat and a 0 cm horizontal repeat. The wallpaper is specified at 194 gsm, with the intricate printed detail remaining the main visual focus.

How to use it

Use this misty silver-grey colourway to bring soft definition to a bedroom, hallway or sitting room, especially alongside chalky whites, pale stone and cool grey upholstery. Its close botanical rhythm suits rooms where an ornate pattern is wanted without introducing a strong, saturated colour.

A cool silver-grey botanical wallpaper for elegant, light-filled interiors.

A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside Bachelors Button Silver 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.
