About this fabric

Catalogued as wallpaper, this colourway shows broad palm-frond shapes sweeping across the design in pale blue-green and chalky neutral marks. The muted taupe background keeps the overall impression calm and grounded, while the cooler eau de nil accents lift the pattern. Broken, brush-like edges give the fronds a tactile-looking graphic quality rather than a sharply outlined botanical finish. The large-scale arrangement makes the layered foliage the dominant feature of the wallcovering.

How to use it

Pair this cool eau de nil and dusty taupe palette with warm timber, chalky painted furniture and natural woven accents. It would suit a bedroom, study or sitting room where the expressive fronds can provide movement without a bright colour contrast.

Use this muted taupe and pale eau de nil scheme to bring softly graphic botanical movement to a room.

A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside Areca Wallcovering Eau De Nil 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.
