Shagreen Como Blue

Rhombi Wallcoverings WallpaperZOW0087-03

Shagreen Como Blue presents a close, granular texture in a cool blue-grey shade softly mixed with taupe and brown. The surface has a weathered, tactile depth that reads as understated rather than strongly patterned.

About this wallpaper

The finely stippled shagreen effect is made up of tiny irregular flecks, giving the blue-grey ground a gently variegated appearance across the sheet. Cooler blue notes catch through the surface, while taupe-brown undertones prevent the colour from feeling stark or overly saturated. This wallpaper has a usable width of 68.6 cm and a standard length of 10.05 m. Its stated vertical pattern repeat is 68.6 cm, with a 0 cm horizontal repeat, and the supplied weight is 446 gsm.

How to use it

Use Como Blue across a study, bedroom or softly lit sitting room where its muted blue-grey tone can sit against oak, walnut, linen and aged metal. Pair it with warm neutrals to draw out the subtle taupe grain visible in the surface.

Use this cool, softly weathered blue-grey ground to add quiet texture behind warm timber, aged brass or natural stone.

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