Matchsticks Denim pairs a creamy ivory ground with a regular field of muted denim-blue matchstick motifs. The small, airy marks are clearly spaced, allowing the pale ground to remain dominant.

About this fabric

This wallpaper shows repeated groups of slim vertical denim-blue lines, finished with small rounded blue dots at the top and bottom, across a warm ivory background. The blue is softened and slightly greyed rather than bright, giving the design a cool, gently graphic character. Matchsticks Denim has a usable width of 52 cm and a standard length of 10.05 m. Its vertical pattern repeat is 27.5 cm, while the supplied horizontal repeat is 0 cm.

How to use it

Use this cool, muted denim-and-ivory colourway in a bedroom, hallway or relaxed sitting room, where its fine vertical rhythm can sit alongside pale wood, linen and understated blue accents.

Pair the muted denim marks with warm ivory, pale timber and simple, tailored furnishings for a calm graphic scheme.

Pairs well with

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