Tumbling Blocks Stone

Rhombi Wallcoverings WallpaperZOW0089-02

Tumbling Blocks Stone is a dense geometric wallpaper of interlocking angular blocks, shown here in a muted taupe-stone ground with charcoal and olive-dark accents. The compact repeat gives the surface a quietly graphic rhythm, while the varied dark marks add depth across the pale background.

About this fabric

The design combines repeated chevron-like and stepped forms, with softly feathered dark detailing that keeps the geometry from appearing stark. This colourway reads as a warm, weathered stone neutral, layered with charcoal and subdued olive rather than a high-contrast black. The wallpaper has a usable width of 68.6 cm and a standard length of 10.05 m, with a 16 cm vertical pattern repeat and a listed horizontal repeat of 0 cm. Its supplied weight is 446 gsm.

How to use it

Use the stone-taupe ground as a calm backdrop in a study, hallway or dining space, then pick up the charcoal and olive geometry in painted joinery, upholstery or accessories. Warm oak and aged brass will soften the cooler dark markings without competing with the small-scale pattern.

Pair the muted stone ground with dark olive, charcoal or warm timber accents for a quietly graphic scheme.

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