About this wallpaper

The blue-grey ground has a softened indigo depth, while the ivory tulips and leaves appear lightly etched against it rather than brightly contrasted. Looping stems, buds and curling foliage create a continuous botanical rhythm, with the vertical border providing a crisp framed edge. This wallpaper is supplied at a usable width of 136 cm, with an 84.5 cm vertical repeat and a 136 cm horizontal repeat. Its stated weight is 321 gsm.

How to use it

Use this cool, muted colourway in a bedroom, hallway or reading room with chalky ivory, weathered timber and brushed metal accents. Keep surrounding textiles quiet so the pale tulips and scrolling border remain the focus.

Pair the faded indigo ground with warm ivory furnishings to bring out the scrolling tulips and ornamental border.

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.
