Diego Dark Gray
Also available in:
Diego Gris Fonce is a floral wallpaper in gray, drawn in a botanical style with plant forms spread across a dark ground. The design keeps to a single color family, so the shapes read through tonal contrast rather than through bright color, and the darker ground pushes the lighter plant outlines forward.
Pattern and color
The floral motifs are large enough to be seen from across a room, and the repeat covers the surface evenly instead of leaving long empty gaps. Because the whole design sits in one dark gray range, it works as a background as easily as it works as the main event on one wall. The botanical drawing style gives the pattern structure without making it literal, and the leaf shapes carry the eye across the wall in a steady rhythm. These are premium quality wallpapers.
Style and rooms
The look is tropical and exotic, but the gray palette keeps it from turning into a holiday print. It sits well with dark wood, rattan, brass fittings and plain upholstery in cream, olive or deep blue. Against white trim and pale floors the contrast is sharp; against warm neutrals the pattern settles back and behaves more like a texture. Plants in the room echo the motif without competing with it.
- Living rooms, including behind a sofa or on one accent wall
- Bedrooms, where the dark ground suits a wall behind the headboard
- Kitchens and dining rooms
- Hallways, home offices, bathrooms and nurseries
In a living room the scale of the pattern holds up next to full-height shelving and larger furniture. In a hallway, where there is little furniture to look at, the repeat gives the walls something to carry, and the gray hides the marks that narrow spaces tend to collect.
French design meets German engineering, made entirely in Europe.
