About this wallpaper

Large sprays of bamboo and elongated olive foliage frame clusters of mandarin red, coral, pink and white flowers across the design. A perched bird and a lower flying bird add movement, while the cream ground keeps the saturated reds and deep greens visually balanced. This wallpaper is 52 cm wide with a 61 cm vertical pattern repeat and is supplied in a standard 10.05 m length. Its listed weight is 185 gsm, giving the roll a substantial paper presence without distracting from the detailed botanical illustration.

How to use it

Use this warm, garden-like colourway in a dining room, bedroom or reading nook, balancing its mandarin blooms with olive-painted woodwork and quiet cream textiles. Keep surrounding patterns simple so the birds and layered foliage remain the focal point.

Pair the warm cream ground with olive upholstery and restrained red accents to let the botanical scene lead.

A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside Bamboo & Birds Mandarin Red/Olive 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.
