Anaelle Sage Green
Anaëlle Sage Green is a botanical wallpaper with animals set among the foliage, drawn in sage green against gray. The two shades carry the whole design, so the plant forms and the creatures read as one connected scene rather than as separate motifs scattered over a background. Green does the work of the pattern; gray holds it back and keeps the contrast moderate.
Pattern and color
Sage green is a muted, slightly grayed green, which is why it sits so easily next to the gray tones here. Seen from across a room the design reads as an overall texture of leaves and branches, and it is only up close that the animal shapes separate out from the planting. That gives the paper two ways of working: as a quiet mid-tone surface on all four walls, or as a pattern worth looking at on one. Because there is no strong light-to-dark jump, the design does not break up a wall visually, and furniture placed against it stays legible. These are premium quality wallpapers.
Style and rooms
The exotic, tropical character comes from the density of the planting rather than from bright color, so it suits rooms with wood furniture, rattan, dark green textiles or plain white woodwork. It also works alongside real houseplants without the two competing. If you are drawn to the creatures more than the leaves, the wider range of animals designs covers the same ground in other palettes.
- Living room walls, including behind a sofa or a sideboard
- Hallways and stairwells
- Home offices and study corners
- Dining areas with dark wood or cane seating
In a living room the sage green gives a wall some depth while leaving room for art and shelving. A hallway is a good use for a pattern of this density, since the wall is seen in passing and benefits from something more than paint. In an office it sits comfortably behind a desk, where the restrained palette keeps the background from pulling attention away from work.
