Celeste Lilac
Céleste Lilac is a floral wallpaper built on a pale ground of white, cream and beige, with blossoms in pink and lilac and foliage worked in soft grey. The flowers and leaves are drawn in a loose, painted style and spread across the wall in a dense arrangement, so the overall effect is colorful while the background keeps the pattern from closing in.
Pattern and finish
The surface is smooth, with an even face that shows the fine detail of the petals and stems clearly. A matte look means no reflection, so the pinks and purples hold the same value in daylight and under lamps, and the paler cream areas do not flare in bright corners. The mix of blooms and foliage puts this squarely among the shop's floral designs, and the leafwork gives it a place in the botanical range too. These are premium quality wallpapers.
Style and rooms
The drawing style suits country and vintage schemes, and the density of the pattern also fits maximalist interiors where several patterns share a room. There is an exotic streak in the blossoms that works with rattan, dark wood and painted furniture alike. Plain linen curtains, a solid-color sofa or simple white joinery all give the pattern the flat surface it needs to read properly.
- Living room walls, including behind a sofa
- Bedrooms, in full or on one wall
- Kitchens, dining rooms and hallways
- Home offices and nurseries
In a dining room the pattern carries well across a wall that is mostly seen from a seated height, and in an office the light ground keeps the space from feeling closed in behind a desk. Used in a hallway, the lilac tones give a short stretch of wall something to look at.
