About this fabric

The design is filled with symmetrical scrolling stems, broad cream flowers, small yellow-ochre blossoms and finely drawn sage and blue-green leaves. In this colourway, the slate ground feels cool and softened rather than stark, allowing the pale blooms to lift clearly while the olive accents add warmth. The wallpaper has a listed usable width of 52 cm and a standard length of 10.05 m. Its vertical pattern repeat is 45.5 cm, with a listed weight of 188 gsm.

How to use it

Use this slate colourway in a study, snug or bedroom where its cool botanical depth can sit against warm wood, aged brass and natural linen. The cream flowers also provide a gentle bridge to pale painted furniture and soft neutral upholstery.

Pair the cool slate ground with warm timber, aged brass and soft cream upholstery to balance its intricate botanical movement.

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.
