About this wallpaper

The cool slate-blue foliage creates the strongest visual note, while pale fruit shapes soften the pattern and the taupe branches add a warm, lightly aged contrast. Small blue and cream flowers appear between the larger leaves and pods, giving the design detail without disturbing its airy ground. This wallpaper has a 52 cm usable width and a 54 cm vertical pattern repeat; the horizontal repeat is listed as 0 cm. The supplied standard length is 10.05 m and the listed weight is 202 gsm.

How to use it

Pair the slate-blue and vellum palette with chalky whites, natural timber and muted taupe upholstery for a calm, collected room. Its cool foliage works particularly well where you want botanical pattern without a strong saturated colour statement.

Use this cool slate-blue botanical wallpaper to bring soft pattern and gentle contrast to bedrooms, studies or relaxed living spaces.

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