Cedric Purple White
Cédric White Violet is a striped wallpaper in white and purple. The bands alternate in a steady rhythm, with the white carrying most of the wall and the violet marking out the lines between. The contrast is clear enough to read from across a room, and the white keeps the overall effect light rather than heavy.
Pattern and color
Stripes give a wall structure without adding any figurative motif, so the pattern sits quietly behind furniture and artwork. Run vertically, they lengthen the look of a wall, which helps in rooms with modest ceiling height or in tight spaces where a design needs to add height rather than width. The violet is the more unusual half of the pairing and sets the tone for the rest of the scheme, while the white keeps it from closing the room in. Related designs are gathered in the stripes selection, and the purple range shows what else works in this color family. These are premium quality wallpapers.
Style and rooms
The design belongs to the farmhouse style, so it suits painted wood, simple upholstery and older furniture with visible grain. It also works in plainer, more modern rooms where a single patterned wall does the work and everything else stays solid-colored. Pair it with white trim and unfussy curtains, or let a rug or pair of armchairs pick up the violet.

- Kitchens and dining rooms
- Hallways, home offices and bathrooms
In a living room the stripes frame shelving and pictures without competing with them. Used in a hallway, the vertical lines make a narrow run of wall feel taller, and in a bedroom the white ground keeps the color from dominating.
