The Unfinished Works Wallpapers WallpaperMOW0131-02

About this fabric

The wallpaper shows broad bayleaf-olive leaves, branching stems and repeated iris-like blooms arranged in a highly structured botanical pattern. Warm cream negative space keeps the dense foliage legible, while fine weld-gold and pale blush detailing gently catches the eye around the flowers. This design is supplied at a useable width of 52 cm, with a 45.7 cm vertical pattern repeat and no horizontal repeat. The standard roll length is 10.05 m and the wallpaper weighs 150 gsm.

How to use it

Use this cool, muted olive colourway in a study, bedroom or garden room with chalky cream walls, aged timber and natural linen. Bring out the weld-gold accents with brushed brass lighting or small ochre accessories rather than highly saturated colour.

A classic Morris & Co. botanical repeat that brings muted olive foliage and warm floral highlights to walls.

A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside Iris & Rose Bayleaf/Weld 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.
