Berenice Orange Green
Also available in:
Bérénice Orange Green is a botanical wallpaper built on foliage in red and green. The warm red tones carry most of the visual weight, while the greens sit behind them and give the leaf shapes depth. The drawing is dense enough to read as a full planted scene from across the room, and at close range the individual leaf outlines stay distinct.
Surface and finish
The look is matte, so the reds keep the same value in daylight and under lamps instead of flaring into glare. The surface is textured, adding a fine relief you can feel with your hand and a slight break in the light that softens the edges of the pattern. That structure also helps hide minor unevenness in a wall that has been patched or skimmed. These are premium quality wallpapers. If the leaf drawing is what draws you in, there is more of it among the botanical patterns, and the warmer end of the range sits in the orange shades.
Style and rooms
The design belongs to the tropical and exotic side of things, which makes it a good match for rattan and cane furniture, dark stained wood, brass fittings and plain upholstery in cream, clay or deep green. Because the pattern is busy, it does better with unpatterned textiles around it: solid curtains, a flat rug, simple bedding. Used on one wall it gives a room a clear focal point without closing it in.
- Living rooms, including as an accent wall
- Bedrooms, whole room or behind the bed
- Kitchens and dining rooms
- Hallways, home offices and bathrooms
In a dining room the red picks up warm lighting over the table, and in a hallway the dense foliage gives a short stretch of wall something to hold attention. It also suits a small workspace, where one papered wall is usually enough.
French design meets German engineering, made entirely in Europe.
