Augustin Beige
Also available in:
Augustin Beige is a plain wallpaper in a single beige shade. There is no repeat to match and no motif to place, so the wall reads as one continuous, even color from corner to corner. The beige sits in the warm middle of the range, neither yellow nor gray, which keeps it steady next to white paint, wood and natural fabrics.
Color and pattern
A solid color covering does a different job than a printed one. It gives the room a background rather than a focal point, which makes it useful where furniture, art or textiles already carry the pattern. Because the surface is uninterrupted, the eye takes in the proportions of the room instead of the design on the wall, and openings like doors and windows stay visually simple. If you are comparing shades, the full beige selection is worth going through side by side, and the rest of the plain range covers the same idea in other tones. These are premium quality wallpapers.
Style and rooms
A single warm neutral suits minimalist interiors, where the point is to keep surfaces quiet and let a few pieces of furniture do the work. It also holds up in more layered schemes, since beige takes color well from whatever sits against it: dark wood, black metal, linen, wool rugs.
- Living rooms, including the wall behind a sofa
- Bedrooms, on all four walls or one alone
- Hallways, entries and stairwells
- Home offices and dining rooms
In a living room it works well behind a television, where a busy print would compete with the screen. In a narrow hallway the unbroken color keeps a tight space from feeling closed in, and it gives coat hooks, mirrors and framed prints a clean ground to sit on.
French design meets German engineering, made entirely in Europe.
