About this fabric

This colourway reads as a dusty, warm-leaning grey with a restrained umber undertone, rather than a strong or saturated brown. Fine linear marks travel horizontally across the image, while softly uneven bands create the look of a lightly brushed, mineral surface. The subtle tonal shifts prevent the taupe-grey from appearing flat, adding gentle depth without introducing a bold motif. As a catalogued wallpaper, it offers a calm textural backdrop where the surface detail can be appreciated at close range.

How to use it

Use this taupe-grey wallpaper to temper rooms with darker timber, aged metal or warm stone, or pair it with oatmeal and mushroom textiles for a softly tonal scheme. Its horizontal texture is particularly suited to quiet, tailored spaces where pattern needs to remain understated.

A softly striated taupe-grey wallpaper for calm, layered interiors with subtle tonal depth.

Pairs well with

Cazenove Wallcovering Umber is a quiet cloth, so it carries a pattern beside it: one of these on the curtains and this on the chair. 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.
