Emperors Musician Indigo places intricate indigo branches, feathery leaves and flowering sprays over a softly textured ivory ground. Small figures, a raised landscape and a suspended canopy give the repeat a distinctly narrative, chinoiserie character.

About this wallpaper

The cool indigo drawing is softened by coral-red flowers, muted green details and occasional warm pink marks against the pale ivory background. Rather than a flat geometric repeat, the design unfolds through branching stems, perched figures, rocky terraces and delicate hanging foliage, creating a large-scale scenic surface. The wallpaper has a 136 cm usable width, a 164.5 cm vertical pattern repeat and no horizontal repeat. Its listed standard length is 1.64 m, with a supplied weight of 449 gsm.

How to use it

Use this indigo-and-ivory colourway across a dining room, study or bedroom where its cool depth can sit alongside painted timber, warm wood and coral or terracotta accents. Hang it on a full wall so the figures, flowering branches and suspended canopy can be read as part of the complete scene.

Use this cool indigo chinoiserie wallpaper to bring historic pattern and gentle coral accents to a refined room.

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