About this fabric

The colourway balances the earthy depth of russet pomegranates with soft bayleaf-green foliage and pale golden citrus, while the cream background keeps the overall impression light. Fine illustrated outlines and stippled fruit shading give the design a detailed, traditional character rather than a flat, block-printed appearance. Supplied at 202 gsm, the wallpaper has a 52 cm usable width and a 10.05 m standard length. Its listed pattern repeat is 54 cm vertically and 0 cm horizontally, making the trailing branches and fruit the dominant visual rhythm.

How to use it

Use this warm, garden-led colourway in a dining room, country hallway or reading nook where the russet fruit can echo terracotta and the sage leaves can connect with painted cabinetry. Pair it with natural timber, warm cream upholstery and muted ochre accents to draw out the citrus tones.

A richly illustrated botanical wallpaper pairing warm russet fruit with sage foliage and sunny yellow citrus on cream.

A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside Fruit Bayleaf/Russet 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.
