Semper Empire Grey is a pale, cool grey wallpaper patterned with closely spaced oval medallions and fine white linework. Its quiet contrast keeps the repeating design delicate rather than dominant.

About this fabric

The soft grey ground is overlaid with slender oval frames, tiny central motifs and small star-like accents, creating a finely drawn damask effect. The light patterning gives the surface a crisp, airy appearance while retaining a formal rhythm across the wall. This wallpaper is supplied at a usable width of 68.6 cm in a standard 10.05 m length. Its vertical pattern repeat is 8 cm, with a 0 cm horizontal repeat.

How to use it

Use this cool dove-grey colourway across a study, bedroom or period-style sitting room where its pale tone can sit quietly behind painted furniture and deeper grey upholstery. Pair it with chalky whites and silvered finishes to bring out the fine white motif.

A cool, pale grey ground and finely repeated oval medallions bring a softly formal finish to walls.

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