Lacquer Wallcovering Smoke

Name: Lacquer Wallcovering Smoke
Brand: Zinc Textile

Lacquer Wallcovering Smoke has a muted taupe-grey ground with fine horizontal movement running across the surface. Its softly varied shading gives the swatch a quiet, atmospheric depth rather than a flat block of colour.

About this fabric

This design is catalogued as wallpaper and is presented here in Zinc Textile’s Caractre Wallcoverings collection. The Smoke colourway shifts between cool grey and warmer taupe-grey passages, creating a gently mottled appearance across the swatch. Fine horizontal striations and a brushed-looking surface catch the light subtly, giving the wallcovering a calm, layered character without a pronounced motif.

How to use it

Use Smoke across a whole room where its restrained taupe-grey tone can create a soft, enveloping backdrop. Pair it with pale stone, charcoal or weathered timber to echo its low-contrast horizontal texture.

Use this softly layered smoky grey wallcovering to bring quiet depth to contemporary, tonal interiors.

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.
