Tocca Fossil

Esala Wallpapers WallpaperSCW0026-05

Tocca Fossil pairs a soft, pale taupe-grey ground with a closely drawn network of uneven vertical and horizontal lines. The restrained contrast gives the surface a lightly weathered, hand-marked character without making the wall feel busy.

About this fabric

The fine grid is visibly irregular: slender vertical strokes vary in width and spacing, while the horizontal bars create small, softly uneven blocks across the surface. Its fossil-like taupe-grey tone sits close to a warm stone neutral, with enough depth for the linework to remain legible while retaining a light overall appearance. This wallpaper is supplied in a 52 cm usable width and a standard 10.05 m length, with a 26 cm vertical pattern repeat. The stated weight is 158 gsm, and the horizontal repeat is 0 cm.

How to use it

Bring Tocca Fossil into a calm bedroom, hallway or study where its pale stone-taupe colouring can sit alongside chalky whites, natural timber and muted grey upholstery. Its small-scale linear rhythm is particularly suited to walls that need texture and movement without a strong focal motif.

Use this pale fossil taupe grid to add quiet rhythm to bedrooms, studies and softly layered neutral schemes.

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