About this fabric

The design features visible equestrian scenes, sailing boats, rackets, cricket bats and other sporting equipment within varied circular panels. Its deep berry-plum borders give the colourway a moody, grounded character, while the green, blue and ochre interiors keep the overall composition lively. Made from 100% non-woven material, it is supplied at 70 cm wide with a 50 cm vertical pattern repeat. The wallpaper is spongeable for straightforward everyday care.

How to use it

Use this plum colourway to create a characterful study, games room or boot room, where its sporting vignettes can be enjoyed at close range. Pair the olive-grey ground with aged wood, leather and warm brass, while repeating the muted teal or ochre accents in accessories.

A richly illustrated sporting wallpaper whose plum medallions bring depth to studies, boot rooms and eclectic living spaces.

A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside Sporting Life Plum 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.
