GP & J Baker | Pebbles

Pebbles began life as a fine silk jacquard in the Oleander collection, and this non-woven wallpaper carries the same small, granular repeat onto the wall rather than the cloth. Because the pattern is so tight and even, it behaves more like a plain with quiet movement in it than a print you would ever point to and name, which makes it an easy paper to live with over a full room.

The paper is a 100 per cent non-woven base, 52 centimetres wide; the page does not give a repeat figure, so treat it as a fine, all-over texture rather than a pattern that needs matching drop to drop. There is one colourway, Mauve, a soft, dusty pink-purple with enough grey in it to sit quietly rather than assert itself; it reads warmer in daylight than in a north-facing room.

We would use it on the walls of a bedroom or a dressing room, somewhere the texture can be appreciated at close range, and it works well as a backdrop behind panelling or a headboard rather than as the single feature wall in an otherwise busy scheme. It pairs naturally with the matching Pebbles fabric for curtains or a blind in the same room. Sold by the roll; order a sample before committing to a full room.

With no repeat stated, hanging is straightforward and there is little to waste in matching, though a competent decorator should still dry-hang a length before pasting to check the tone under your own light. Roll length is not given on this listing, so check it against the label before ordering; as a rule of thumb, allow two to three rolls for an average wall and order one extra to cover cutting and any later repairs.
