{"product_id":"mark-alexander-riad-wallcovering","title":"Mark Alexander | Riad Wallcovering","description":"\u003cp\u003eRiad is a small-scale tile pattern printed onto a natural-fibre ground, from the Collage IV collection. The repeat is tight and the figures interlock, so from across a room the wall reads as an even, worked surface rather than as a pattern with a direction to it. Close to, the individual figures come forward and the texture of the ground shows through the print. The name and the drawing both point towards Moorish tilework, but the handling is restrained rather than ornate.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEach roll is 88 centimetres wide and 7.3 metres long, with a 7 centimetre vertical repeat. That is a short repeat, which means very little waste and a straightforward calculation. It comes in a single colourway, Iznik, a blue that shifts between ink and a softer glazed tone depending on the light falling on it. Because the ground is a natural fibre, panel-to-panel variation in the base colour is inherent and should be expected. On a small-repeat pattern it is less noticeable than on a plain, but it is still there.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWe use a paper like this in cloakrooms, small studies and the back of a bookcase or an alcove, where a tight all-over pattern has room to work without dominating. It also does well on the ceiling of a small room. We would keep everything else plain: white paintwork, a plain linen blind, and no second pattern in the same space. Order a sample to see it in your own light.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHang paste-the-wall, butting the drops rather than overlapping, and keep paste off the face since the ground will not clean. With a short repeat the pattern match across a seam is quick, but check it at eye level before you smooth the drop down. Order all rolls from one batch and check the number on every label as it arrives. Add a spare roll, because a later batch will not match and a single damaged drop should not mean repapering.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRoll width:\u003c\/strong\u003e 88 cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRoll length:\u003c\/strong\u003e 7.3 m\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePattern repeat:\u003c\/strong\u003e 7 cm vertical\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eApplication:\u003c\/strong\u003e Paste-the-wall\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSuitable for:\u003c\/strong\u003e Cloakrooms, small studies, alcoves, ceilings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCare:\u003c\/strong\u003e Wipe gently with a soft, dry cloth\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCollection:\u003c\/strong\u003e Collage IV, Mark Alexander\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColourways:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1 (Iznik)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Mark Alexander","offers":[{"title":"Iznik","offer_id":58067427819902,"sku":"MW173\/01","price":990.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Sample - Iznik","offer_id":58067427852670,"sku":"SAMPLE-MW173\/01","price":2.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0909\/9880\/0766\/files\/MW173-01-riad-wallcovering-iznik_01.jpg?v=1789984352","url":"https:\/\/shop.tobiasoliverinteriors.com\/products\/mark-alexander-riad-wallcovering","provider":"Tobias Oliver","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
