Buying guide and questions we are asked
How to use brown wallpaper
Brown has come back with timber, terracotta and natural fibre, and on a wall it is warmer and more forgiving than black. Chocolate and tobacco suit dining rooms, libraries and studies; the lighter walnut and clay browns work in living rooms with cream trim and rust or ochre accents. Most of the browns here are textures, grasscloth, linen and plaster, which is the least risky way to use the colour. A brown ground also makes green and gold patterns glow.
Where to start
Of the designs on this page, the most ordered over the last twelve months, in any colourway, were La Palma by Catherine Martin, Sandberg's Lo, Royal Peacock and Monkey Business; the most sampled were La Palma, Royal Peacock and Argile. Brown by style: textured and grasscloth, earthy and forest and woodland. Neighbouring colours: beige and orange.
Can I get a sample first?
Yes. A4 samples are A$10 each plus A$5 postage within Australia, A$18 to New Zealand and A$35 elsewhere, sent by letter mail and usually with you within a week. Colour is the one thing a screen cannot settle, so we recommend it.
