Scrolling Tulip Woad/Thyme

The Unfinished Works Wallpapers WallpaperMOW0139-02

Scrolling Tulip Woad/Thyme is filled with curling stems, tulip-like buds and feathery leaves against a clear, muted woad-blue ground. Cream, thyme-green and warm brown details give the dense botanical drawing a gently aged, illustrated character.

About this fabric

The pattern combines looping brown stems with fine dotted detailing, pale thyme-green foliage, cream leaf highlights and elongated tulip forms picked out in blue and ivory. Its cool woad ground gives the colourway a calm, slightly vintage depth, while the warm brown accents prevent the overall impression from feeling flat or icy. This wallpaper has a 52 cm usable width and a 52 cm vertical pattern repeat, allowing the scrolling design to continue in a pronounced vertical rhythm. Supplied in a standard 10.05 m length, it weighs 150 gsm.

How to use it

Use this cool woad-blue colourway in a study, bedroom or sitting room with chalky walls, aged oak and soft cream textiles. Repeat the thyme-green accents in cushions or painted joinery, while the brown stems sit comfortably alongside leather and warm timber.

Pair the cool woad-blue ground with warm timber, cream upholstery and natural woven accents to balance the intricate botanical pattern.

A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside Scrolling Tulip Woad/Thyme 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.
