Aiden Light Grey
Also available in:
Aiden Light Grey is an abstract wallpaper in a single soft gray range. The design has no repeating motif to track across the wall, so the eye reads the surface as a whole rather than following a grid or a row of shapes. Because the tones stay close together, the pattern holds its shape up close and settles into a near-plain gray when you step back.
Pattern and color
Gray is the easiest wall color to build a room around, and this one sits on the pale side, which keeps rooms from closing in. Abstract forms work where a floral or a stripe would fight with what is already in the room: framed prints, open shelving, a patterned sofa. You can hang it across all four walls without the pattern becoming a focal point, or use it on one wall where you want texture in the design rather than a clear picture. It also pairs well with white or off-white woodwork, natural wood and black metal fittings. More in the same tonal family can be found among the light gray designs. These are premium quality wallpapers.
Where it works
The neutral base makes this a practical choice for rooms that connect to others, since it does not force the adjoining spaces into a particular scheme.
- Living rooms, including the wall behind a sofa
- Bedrooms and nurseries
- Kitchens and dining rooms
- Hallways, home offices and bathrooms
In a living room the abstract shapes give the walls something to look at without competing with artwork or a television wall. A hallway benefits from the light tone, which is useful where there is little daylight and few windows. In a bedroom the quiet gray works with layered bedding and heavier curtains, and it stays workable as furniture and textiles change over time. The same reasoning applies to a nursery, where a soft neutral outlasts the colors chosen for a specific age.
