Skins Ficus Coal

The Skins Ficus Coal is a non-woven wallpaper installed using the drop match method, which means each strip must be dropped by a set number of centimetres relative to the previous one to align the pattern correctly. Non-woven wallpapers are generally considered more DIY-friendly than traditional wallpapers, as they tend to be more forgiving during hanging and less prone to tearing when wet. Stoke Tiles provides a full installation sheet and video for the Skins Ficus range to walk you through the process step by step.

Skins Ficus Coal is listed as suitable for both bathroom and kitchen walls, and while darker colourways can feel more dramatic in smaller spaces, they are frequently used to great effect in compact bathrooms to create a moody, boutique-style look. The botanical Ficus leaf design adds visual texture and depth, which can make a feature wall feel considered rather than oppressive. If you are unsure, applying the Coal design to a single feature wall rather than all four walls is a popular approach that works well in smaller rooms.

The Skins Ficus collection by L’Antic Colonial is available in five colourways – Ficus Forest, Ficus Turquoise, Ficus Pearl, Ficus Taupe, and Ficus Coal – offering a wide spectrum from light neutrals through to rich, deeper tones. Based on its name, Ficus Coal is the darkest shade in the range, making it the go-to choice for anyone wanting a bold, dramatic finish on a kitchen or bathroom feature wall. All colourways are available in the same roll size of 53 x 1005 cm, so coverage calculations remain consistent across the range.
