Edda Pastel Blue
Edda Pastel Blue is a striped wallpaper in white and cream, with bands of pastel blue and a thread of purple running through the sequence. The stripes are vertical and evenly spaced, and because the blue stays pale it sits close in weight to the cream ground. The purple accent is the narrowest element in the repeat, which keeps the overall effect light.
Pattern and finish
The surface is matte, so the colors hold their value from morning to evening instead of flattening out under direct light. It is also textured, giving the stripes a fine relief that you notice when you run a hand across the wall and that helps mask minor unevenness in the plaster beneath. Vertical stripes lead the eye upward, which is worth knowing if your ceilings are on the low side. More of the same layout can be found in the vertical stripe selection, and the wider range of blue and white designs shows related color pairings. These are premium quality wallpapers.
Style and rooms
The design reads as retro without being loud, and it fits minimalist schemes where pattern needs to stay restrained. It also suits vintage interiors built on painted wood, cane or brass fittings. Pale upholstery, plain curtains and light floors all work alongside it, and a single patterned rug or a group of framed prints will still hold attention.
- Living room walls, including behind a sofa
- Bedrooms, on all four walls or one wall alone
- Hallways, where the stripes add height
- Dining rooms, home offices and nurseries
In a hallway the repeat gives a narrow run of wall some order, and in a nursery the pastel tones stay quiet enough to carry the room past the first few years.
