Snakeshead Gold/Linen

About this fabric

This wallpaper is supplied at 68.6 cm usable width in a standard 10.05 m length, with a 34.3 cm vertical pattern repeat and a listed 0 cm horizontal repeat. At 153 gsm, the design presents a fine, even surface carrying the intricate Morris botanical arrangement. The gold is muted rather than bright, with pale cream-linen highlights that soften the scrolling leaves, flowers and central pointed forms. Its close, balanced repeat gives the colourway a formal, heritage-led presence without the sharper contrast of a darker ground.

How to use it

Use this warm gold-and-linen colourway across a dining room, hallway or sitting room where its dense botanical detail can read as an all-over decorative backdrop. Pick up the aged gold in timber, brass or ochre accents, while pale upholstery will echo the light ground.

The warm gold and pale linen palette brings a softly aged, richly ornamental character to period and contemporary interiors.

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.
