The Unfinished Works Wallpapers WallpaperMOW0140-02

About this fabric
The colourway pairs a mellow ochre-brown ground with soft ivory motifs, giving the border a warm, gently aged appearance rather than a bright or high-contrast finish. Curving leaves, tendrils and clustered fruit create a continuous botanical band, while the fine horizontal lines remain visible behind the design. This wallpaper border has a 15 cm usable width and a 25 cm horizontal pattern repeat, with a 0 cm vertical repeat. It is supplied in a standard 10 m length and has a listed weight of 130 gsm.
How to use it
Use the warm rush-brown and ivory combination to frame a room at dado height, above panelling or beneath a cornice. It will sit comfortably with natural timber, cream-painted woodwork and other softly earthy tones.
Use as a decorative dado, ceiling or cornice border to bring warm brown and ivory botanical detail to a room.

A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside St Johns Border Sussex Rush 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.
