Anouk Eggplant Silver
Also available in:
Anouk Eggplant Silver is a botanical wallpaper in deep eggplant purple, with leaf forms picked out in silver and grey. The dark ground keeps the drawing clear, and the metallic tones give the foliage its outline rather than filling it in, so the design reads as a graphic pattern first and a plant study second.
Surface and finish
The surface is textured, with a fine relief you can feel across the leaves and the background alike. Combined with the shimmering silver, that structure makes the pattern shift as you move past it or as daylight moves through the room: the metallic areas brighten under direct light and settle back into grey in shade, while the purple stays constant. The relief also helps break up small unevenness in the wall beneath. There is more in the same vein among the textured papers and the wider leaf designs. These are premium quality wallpapers.
Rooms and pairings
Dark walls with metallic detail work best where the pattern has room to be seen as a whole, so full walls in larger rooms or a single wall in smaller ones. It sits well with dark wood, brass or chrome fittings, velvet and plain upholstery in grey or aubergine. Keep other patterns in the room simple, since the foliage already carries the detail.
- Accent walls and areas around a TV unit
- Bedrooms, including the wall behind the headboard
- Dining rooms, where the silver catches lamplight
- Hallways, home offices, kitchens and bathrooms
In a bedroom the purple ground keeps the light level low and even, and in a dining room the pattern gives a plain table and chairs something to stand against.
