About this fabric

The Shale colourway has a quiet, stone-like warmth rather than a crisp white base, while the taupe-grey outlines add definition without a strong tonal break. Repeating angular blocks, inset corners and ladder-like horizontal bars create a measured architectural rhythm. The narrow linear motif gives the wallpaper a refined, graphic character, with the muted contrast keeping the overall effect calm. This is a wallpaper design, as catalogued, suited to spaces where a structured pattern is wanted without introducing saturated colour.

How to use it

Use Shale across a study, hallway or bedroom to bring gentle architectural pattern to the walls. Its warm greige ground works naturally with taupe upholstery, pale oak, limestone and soft grey accents.

A softly contrasting geometric wallpaper that brings quiet structure to contemporary and classic rooms.

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.
