Dorian Turquoise
Also available in:
Dorian Turquoise is a botanical wallpaper in blue and green. Leaf shapes are drawn in a loose, painterly way rather than as a repeating stencil, so the design reads more like artwork than a traditional floral print. The turquoise tones sit against deeper greens, which keeps the pattern legible from across a room while staying softer up close.
Surface and finish
The finish is matte, so light falls on the wall evenly and the blues and greens hold the same value in daylight and under lamps. The surface is smooth, with no raised structure, which suits the painted quality of the design and gives the brushed edges of the leaves a clean outline. A smooth face also keeps the wall easy to wipe down when dust settles along the top of a skirting board or behind furniture. These are premium quality wallpapers. If the drawn plant forms are what draws you in, the wider botanical collection covers the same ground in other colorways, and the leaf patterns range further into foliage-only designs.
Style and rooms
The modern art treatment puts this paper alongside plain upholstery, pale wood and simple metal or glass fittings. It shares the restraint of Scandinavian interiors but carries more color, so one papered wall is usually enough. Black or brass frames read well against the turquoise, and a plain rug stops the floor from competing.
- Living rooms, including behind a sofa
- Bedrooms, full walls or a single wall
- Home offices and studies
- Dining rooms
In a living room accent wall the pattern gives the seating area a clear backdrop without crowding shelves or pictures. In a bedroom the greens stay quiet behind a headboard, and in a dining room the design holds up under the closer viewing distance around a table.
French design meets German engineering, made entirely in Europe.
