Clotilde White Cream
Also available in:
Clotilde Creme White is a cloud-patterned wallpaper in white and cream. The shapes are soft-edged and loosely drawn, spreading across the wall without a strict repeat grid to catch the eye. Because both shades sit close together in tone, the pattern reads as a gentle variation in a pale wall rather than as a distinct motif, which keeps it quiet at close range and almost plain from across a room.
Pattern and colour
The cream areas give the white some warmth, so the wall does not look stark the way flat white paint can. Light shifts the balance through the day: in bright daylight the cloud forms are easy to pick out, while in low light the wall settles into a single soft tone. This restraint puts the design squarely in minimalist schemes, where the wall is meant to support the furniture rather than compete with it. If pale walls are what you are after, the rest of the cream range is worth comparing, and there are further cloud designs to look through. These are premium quality wallpapers.
Where it works
A pale, low-contrast pattern suits rooms that need to feel open, and it works with almost any furniture colour, from dark wood to pale upholstery. It also leaves plenty of room for artwork, shelving and textiles to carry the colour in a room.
- Living rooms, including an accent wall
- Bedrooms and home offices
- Kitchens, dining rooms and bathrooms
- Hallways, nurseries and kids' rooms
In a hallway with little daylight the white ground helps the space read as brighter than it is. In a nursery the clouds give children something to look at while staying calm enough to keep as the room changes use. Over a desk in an office, the low contrast means the wall stays in the background during long stretches of work.
