Tumbling Blocks Empire Grey

Rhombi Wallcoverings WallpaperZOW0089-01

Tumbling Blocks Empire Grey presents a dense, repeating field of angular blocks in pale grey, ivory and softly warmed neutral tones. The low-contrast geometry gives the surface a light, quietly dimensional appearance.

About this wallpaper

The visible design is formed from tightly arranged, three-dimensional-looking blocks, with fine grey lines and ivory faces creating a subtle tessellated effect. This wallcovering has a 68.6 cm usable width and comes in a standard 10.05 m length. Its vertical pattern repeat is 16 cm, with a supplied horizontal repeat of 0 cm, keeping the geometric field closely aligned across the width. The listed weight is 446 gsm, while the Empire Grey colourway remains pale and restrained rather than dark or strongly contrasted.

How to use it

Use it across a full wall or as a calm backdrop to pale timber, chalky upholstery and brushed metal. Its cool grey-and-ivory tone suits rooms where a geometric detail is wanted without overwhelming the scheme.

Use this quietly patterned grey wallcovering to add architectural rhythm without introducing strong colour.

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