Corentin Beige
Corentin Beige is a wallpaper in a single beige shade. The colour is warm and neutral, closer to a soft sand than to grey or yellow, which makes it easy to read as a background rather than as the main feature of a room. Because there is no contrast between light and dark areas, the wall reads as one continuous surface, and corners, recesses and long stretches of wall all hold the same tone.
A plain beige wall gives other things in the room something to sit against. Dark wood, black metal frames and deep green or navy upholstery all stand out clearly against it, while cream, white and pale oak blend into it for a quieter scheme. Artwork, mirrors and open shelving are easier to place, since there is no pattern to line up with or work around. If you like strong curtains, a patterned rug or a printed sofa, a wall in this shade lets those pieces carry the room on their own. These are premium quality wallpapers.
The neutral shade suits a wide range of rooms and is a practical choice when you want one colour to run through several of them:
- Living rooms, on all four walls or as a background to a feature wall
- Bedrooms, where a warm neutral keeps the room calm
- Hallways and stairways, which often get a mix of daylight and lamplight
- Home offices, where a plain wall behind a desk is less distracting
- Dining rooms, kitchens and kids rooms
It also works well in rooms that change use over time. A beige wall fits a nursery, a teenager's room and a study equally, so the wallpaper does not need replacing when the furniture does. In rooms with limited daylight the warm undertone keeps the walls from looking flat or cold, and in bright rooms it holds its colour without turning stark.
