Axelle Multicolor
Axelle Colore is an abstract wallpaper in a multicolor palette. The design works with free, non-representational shapes rather than a repeating motif you can name, so the eye moves across the wall instead of settling on one figure. Because several colors carry equal weight, the pattern reads as busy and full rather than quiet, and it gives a room its main visual interest without any help from artwork.
Pattern and color
The multicolor mix is the deciding factor when you plan the rest of the room. It gives you several shades to pick up in cushions, rugs or painted woodwork, and it also means plain surfaces around it do most of the balancing work. White or off-white ceilings, simple curtains and furniture in one solid color all keep the pattern legible. Abstract shapes have a practical advantage over pictorial designs as well: there is no clear top or bottom to the imagery, so the pattern holds up behind furniture, around door frames and on walls broken up by shelving. These are premium quality wallpapers.
Style and rooms
The design belongs to the retro tradition, with the kind of loose shapes and color combinations associated with mid-century interiors, and its density also suits maximalism, where pattern is layered rather than rationed. It sits comfortably alongside modern art schemes built on graphic prints and strong color.
- Living rooms, including a single accent wall
- Bedrooms, most often on the wall behind the bed
- Kitchens and dining corners
- Hallways and home offices
In a living room the pattern carries the whole scheme, so a low sofa in one flat shade and a few open shelves are usually enough. A hallway is another good candidate, since the walls are seen in passing and a dense abstract print does more there than a subtle one. Used across all four walls of an office, the colors stay active; on one wall only, they frame a desk and leave the rest of the room plain.
French design meets German engineering, made entirely in Europe.
