About this wallpaper

The design is visibly delicate rather than bold, with slender stems, feathery thistle heads and fuller clustered blooms picked out in slightly deeper pewter-grey lines. Broad pale spaces around each botanical panel keep the overall image airy, while the repeated vertical arrangement adds gentle rhythm to the wall. This wallpaper has a useable width of 52 cm, a standard length of 10.05 m and a vertical pattern repeat of 68.6 cm. Its supplied weight is 154 gsm, consistent with the light visual presence seen in the fine, softly toned artwork.

How to use it

The cool, muted pewter shade suits bedrooms, dressing rooms and hallways where a pale grey backdrop can soften the scheme without adding strong colour. Combine it with chalky whites, silvered timber and quiet blue-grey accents to echo the sketch-like botanical detail.

Use the cool pewter ground to bring a quiet, lightly illustrated feel to bedrooms, hallways or refined sitting rooms.

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