Albert Cream Gold
Also available in:
Albert Creme Gold is a marble-pattern wallpaper in cream and white, with veining that runs in soft gray and beige and metallic accents picked out in gold. The drawing is abstract rather than a literal copy of stone, so the veins wander across the wall without settling into a repeat the eye can easily trace.
Pattern and surface
The finish is matte, which keeps the cream ground even across a large wall and stops the light from flaring off it. The gold reads differently depending on where you stand, showing as a warm line in daylight and catching more brightly under lamps in the evening. A textured surface adds shallow relief along the veining, so the pattern has some physical depth and minor unevenness in the plaster is less obvious once the paper is up. These are premium quality wallpapers. If the stone look is what draws you, the full marble selection is worth going through, and the narrower gold marble group collects the designs with metallic veining.
Style and rooms
The pale ground puts this in the same territory as other cream wall coverings, while the gold gives it enough weight for damask-leaning schemes and retro interiors. It also suits industrial rooms, where the veined stone works against concrete, black metal and bare wood. Dark furniture stands out clearly against it; pale oak and light upholstery keep the whole scheme quiet.
- Living room walls, including behind a sofa
- Bedrooms and dressing areas
- Hallways and entrances
- Home offices and dining rooms
In a living room it holds a single wall well without crowding pictures or shelving. In a hallway the light tones keep a narrow run from feeling closed in, and in an office the pattern gives the wall behind a desk something to look at without distracting detail.
French design meets German engineering, made entirely in Europe.
