Persian Tulip Umber/Mineral Blue

The Unfinished Works Wallpapers WallpaperMOW0138-01

Persian Tulip Umber/Mineral Blue brings a warm, chalky ground together with umber tulip forms and cool mineral-blue foliage. The detailed repeating pattern has a distinctly timeworn, illustrated character.

About this fabric

The wallpaper is printed with large teardrop-shaped tulip medallions in deep umber, framed by scrolling stems and small cream flowers. Mineral-blue leaves introduce a cool contrast, while muted terracotta and blush accents soften the surrounding cream ground. The pattern has a 31.6 cm vertical repeat and is supplied in a standard 10.05 m length, with a 68.6 cm usable width. Its listed weight is 147 gsm.

How to use it

Use the umber and mineral-blue balance to give a dining room, study or bedroom a layered historic feel; the warm cream ground will keep the repeated pattern light rather than overly heavy.

Use this softly aged palette to bring patterned depth to a classic sitting room, hallway or bedroom.

A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside Persian Tulip Umber/Mineral Blue 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.
