About this fabric

This wallpaper features a large-scale trailing arrangement of curling stems, leafy forms and stylised blooms, including russet, coral, ochre and blue accents across the pale taupe background. Its 76.2 cm vertical repeat gives the pattern a strong sense of rhythm, while the 0 cm horizontal repeat reflects the continuous widthwise arrangement. The usable width is 52 cm, supplied in a standard 10.05 m length, with a listed weight of 146 gsm. The russet detailing adds warmth and depth without overpowering the quieter taupe ground.

How to use it

Pair this colourway with warm painted wood, aged brass and upholstery in oat, olive or muted blue. It is especially effective in a study, dining room or bedroom where the russet accents can be echoed in smaller furnishings.

Use this warm, quietly muted botanical wallpaper to bring layered colour and a historic decorative feel to a room.

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.
