Kauri Fossil

Folio WallpaperZOW0092-03

Kauri Fossil is a finely mottled wallpaper in a quiet grey-green tone, flecked with charcoal, soft olive and pale mineral highlights. Its dense, granular surface gives the colourway a softly weathered depth rather than a flat finish.

About this wallpaper

The close-up shows a small-scale, non-directional texture built from closely packed grey, green, charcoal and warm fossil-like flecks. Supplied at 68.6 cm usable width, the wallpaper has a standard length of 10.05 m and a weight of 166 gsm. Both the vertical and horizontal pattern repeats are listed as 0 cm, suiting the irregular all-over appearance visible here. The restrained contrast keeps the surface detailed up close while allowing the muted grey-green ground to read calmly across a wall.

How to use it

Pair Kauri Fossil with pale timber, chalky stone and charcoal accents to draw out its cool grey-green ground and mineral flecks. It would suit a study, hallway or quietly layered bedroom where texture is preferred over a bold graphic motif.

Use this muted grey-green ground to bring quietly layered texture to calm, contemporary rooms.

Pairs well with

Kauri Fossil 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.
