Iliad Fossil

Indienne Wallcoverings WallpaperZOW0048-02

Iliad Fossil has a softly mineral, greige ground marked with loose botanical forms in chalky cream and warm fossil-brown lines. The pale colourway reads like a weathered study of leaves or seed heads, with a gently aged surface rather than a crisp printed contrast.

About this fabric

This Zoffany wallpaper has a 68.6 cm usable width and a standard length of 10.05 m, with a substantial 76.2 cm vertical pattern repeat. Broad, fan-like botanical motifs overlap across the pale grey-beige ground, while fine brown-beige outlines pick out the organic shapes. Subtle mottling through the background gives the Fossil colourway a cool stone quality, tempered by warmer sandy highlights. At 156 gsm, it presents as a light wallcovering with a visibly layered, softly distressed appearance.

How to use it

Pair the muted greige, chalk and fossil-brown palette with limewashed timber, aged oak and warm ivory upholstery. The large, gently irregular repeat would suit a bedroom, dressing room or quiet study where its mineral tones can remain the focus.

Use this softly weathered greige wallpaper to bring quiet botanical movement to bedrooms, studies or calm sitting rooms.

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