About this fabric

The cream background keeps this colourway light, while the warm taupe-beige foliage gives the design a softly shaded, natural depth rather than a high-contrast look. Slender stems weave between elongated leaves, with fine interior marks that remain visible across the repeating pattern. The wallpaper has a 46 cm vertical pattern repeat and no horizontal repeat, with a 52 cm usable width. Each standard length is 10.05 m, and the supplied weight is 192 gsm.

How to use it

Use this warm, muted taupe-and-cream colourway across a bedroom, entrance hall or sitting room where its fine botanical detail can sit comfortably alongside pale upholstery, oak or woven natural textures. Keep adjacent colours gentle—chalky whites, mushroom, sand and soft brown will reinforce its quiet warmth.

Pair the warm taupe foliage with natural timber, soft stone and quiet cream furnishings for a calm, layered interior.

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.
