About this fabric

This Zoffany wallpaper is supplied at a 68.6 cm usable width, with a standard length of 10.05 m and a 172 gsm weight. Its abstract surface combines cool taupe, stone grey and softly lightened speckling, giving the colourway a restrained, slightly chalky depth. The pattern repeats vertically every 76.2 cm and has no horizontal repeat, while the low-contrast bands remain understated rather than graphic. Subtle changes in the surface catch the light, adding quiet movement without disrupting the muted Fossil palette.

How to use it

Use Metallo Fossil across a study, bedroom or softly lit sitting room where its taupe-grey mineral tones can sit alongside natural timber, aged metal and warm off-whites. Its restrained contrast also suits larger wall areas where a calm, textured backdrop is wanted.

Use its quiet taupe-grey mineral texture to bring depth to calm, layered interiors.

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