About this wallpaper

This wallpaper features the distinctive Strawberry Thief scene, with paired birds, stylised flowers, fruit and curling leaves arranged in a richly ornamental repeat. Slate blue is the dominant note, softened by pale teal, cream and warm taupe so the colourway has a calm, faded character rather than a saturated one. It is supplied at a 52 cm usable width and a standard length of 10.05 m. The vertical pattern repeat is 61 cm, with a 0 cm horizontal repeat, and the listed weight is 198 gsm.

How to use it

Use the cool slate and vellum palette to bring definition to a bedroom, study or reading nook, pairing it with chalky whites, pale wood and softly weathered blue furnishings. Its detailed bird-and-foliage arrangement also suits a feature wall where the full symmetrical pattern can be appreciated.

A cool, softly detailed Morris pattern for elegant feature walls and characterful whole rooms.

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.
