Villars Wallcovering Tungsten

Name: Villars Wallcovering Tungsten
Brand: Zinc Textile

Villars Wallcovering Tungsten has a cool, weathered grey ground marked by broad rectangular blocks and a dense, speckled surface. The tonal variation gives the design a softly aged, almost mineral character.

About this fabric

The design combines a large-scale, irregular grid with fine dark flecking that breaks across each grey panel. Tungsten reads as a restrained graphite-grey shade, with lighter areas catching the eye against deeper charcoal traces. Its distressed surface has a dry, tactile visual quality, while the softly uneven blocks prevent the pattern from feeling rigid or overly geometric. This is a wallpaper from Zinc Textile’s Escape Wallcoverings collection.

How to use it

Use Tungsten across a study, hallway or feature wall where its cool grey depth can sit alongside chalky whites, pale timber and blackened metal. The mottled grid also works well behind simple, low-colour furnishings that let the weathered surface remain visible.

Pair this cool tungsten grey with pale stone, charcoal and aged metal for a quietly atmospheric scheme.

Villars Wallcovering Tungsten 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.
