About this fabric

This wallpaper shows slender branches, pointed leaves and larger overlapping foliage rendered in varied cobalt-blue marks. The blue shifts from deeper, more defined stems to pale, washed areas, creating a layered tonal effect rather than a flat block colour. A broken, stippled surface within the printed forms gives the leaves and branches a dry-brush appearance. The ivory background keeps the overall impression light while allowing the cool blue botanical pattern to remain prominent.

How to use it

Use this cool cobalt-and-ivory colourway across a feature wall where its large leafy forms can unfold fully. Balance the blue with warm ivory textiles, pale timber and restrained grey furnishings.

Pair the cool cobalt foliage with ivory, pale timber and soft grey accents for a calm, considered scheme.

A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside Sumba Wallcovering Cobalt 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.
