Camille Grege
Camille Greige is a plain wallpaper in cream and beige, with no motif and no repeat to line up. The two shades sit close together, so the wall reads as one warm, slightly greyed neutral rather than as a flat block of color. Seen up close, the color shifts a little across the surface, which keeps a large expanse from looking uniform.
Surface and finish
The finish is matte. Without gloss, the wall does not throw back light from windows or lamps, and the shade holds steady from morning to evening. The surface is also textured, with a fine relief you can feel under your hand, and that structure does two useful things: it gives the plain color some depth, and it takes the edge off minor unevenness in the wall beneath. These are premium quality wallpapers. If an unpatterned wall is what you are after, the rest of the solid range is worth comparing, and the broader light beige selection covers neighboring shades.
Style and rooms
Greige works as a background color, which makes it easy to build on. It suits country style rooms with painted wood, boho chic schemes with rattan and layered textiles, and the pared-back discipline of minimalist interiors. In Japandi rooms it sits quietly behind low furniture and dark wood. Art, shelving and patterned rugs all stand out against it rather than competing with it.

- Bedrooms, whole room or one wall
- Kitchens and dining rooms
- Hallways, home offices, bathrooms and nurseries
In a hallway the warm tone keeps a space with little daylight from feeling cold, and in an office the absence of pattern means nothing pulls at your attention while you work.
