Nina Campbell | Bicton

Bicton is a block stripe enlivened with narrow metallic bands, the shimmer running between the broader stripes to lift what would otherwise be a strictly tailored paper. The stripe is one of decorating's most dependable devices, and here it is given just enough polish to feel dressed.

Printed in the United Kingdom, it is a natural choice for halls, staircases and dining rooms, where a vertical stripe draws the eye upward and gives a wall its architecture. The metallic thread catches candlelight and lamplight particularly well, which makes it a quietly effective paper for rooms used in the evening.
