Kauri Wallcovering Carob

Name: Kauri Wallcovering Carob
Brand: Romo

Kauri Wallcovering Carob has a quietly weathered appearance, combining a soft grey-taupe ground with scattered charcoal and pale horizontal marks. Its close, irregular texture gives the colourway a calm, layered depth.

About this fabric

This wallpaper is built from fine horizontal striations rather than a defined pictorial motif, creating a gently linear surface across the swatch. Carob reads as a muted grey taupe, with cooler charcoal flecks and lighter oatmeal threads breaking up the ground. The uneven marks prevent the shade from feeling flat, while the restrained contrast keeps the overall effect composed and understated.

How to use it

Use Carob where a room needs soft architectural texture without a strong pattern: it works particularly well behind warm oak, aged bronze and upholstery in stone or mushroom tones. The greyed taupe colouring also sits comfortably with charcoal details and muted sage accents.

Pair its softly weathered taupe ground with warm timber, chalky neutrals and dark metal accents.

Pairs well with

Kauri Wallcovering Carob is a quiet cloth, so it carries a pattern beside it: one of these on the curtains and this on the chair. 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.
