About this fabric

The colour reads as a pale, cool grey, layered with smoky silver-grey marks that create a subtle plastered or stone-like effect. Its softly mottled surface changes gently across the swatch, rather than forming a directional pattern. This wallpaper has a 68.6 cm usable width and comes in a standard 10.05 m length. The supplied pattern repeat is 0 cm vertically and horizontally, while the listed weight is 153 gsm.

How to use it

Use Ajanta Zinc across a study, bedroom or understated living space where its cool mineral grey can sit alongside chalky whites, pale timber and brushed metal. Its low-contrast surface is particularly effective behind darker grey upholstery or muted blue-green accents.

Use this cool, softly mottled grey to create a calm, mineral-toned backdrop for layered interiors.

Pairs well with

Ajanta Zinc is a quiet cloth, so it carries a pattern beside it: one of these on the curtains and this on the chair. 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.
