Doris Greige
Also available in:
Doris Greige is a floral and botanical wallpaper built around feather motifs, drawn in beige and gray. The two shades sit close together on the tonal scale, so the pattern reads as one soft mid-tone from a few steps back and only separates into individual leaves and plumes when you stand near the wall.
Pattern and surface
The look is shiny, with parts of the design picking up light and shifting slightly as you move past or as daylight changes through the day. That sheen is what gives the beige and gray their depth, since the contrast comes as much from the reflection as from the color itself. The surface is textured, adding a fine relief you can feel with your hand and helping to soften small unevenness in the wall beneath. The feather shapes are stylized rather than literal, and they overlap with leaf forms in a way that keeps the repeat from being obvious. If the motif is the draw, look through the rest of the feather patterns and the leaf designs. These are premium quality wallpapers.
Style and rooms
The combination of botanical drawing and reflective finish places this design between vintage schemes and boho chic rooms. It goes with dark wood, rattan, brass fittings and plain textiles in cream or charcoal. Because the palette is neutral, patterned cushions, rugs and artwork can be added without clashing.
- Living rooms, including behind a sofa or a TV unit
- Bedrooms, on all four walls or one wall only
- Hallways and entry areas
- Dining rooms and home offices
In a living room accent wall the sheen gives the pattern presence without adding strong color, and in a hallway the light-reflecting surface is useful where there are no windows and lighting is artificial.
French design meets German engineering, made entirely in Europe.
