Edourad Red
Edourad Red is a plain wallpaper in a single red shade, with no motif or repeat to line up. The color covers the wall evenly, so the interest comes from the surface itself rather than from a printed design. Because there is nothing to match at the seams, it is a straightforward choice for walls broken up by doors, windows or sloping ceilings.
Surface and finish
The finish is matte, which keeps the red reading as one steady tone instead of shifting with reflected light from windows or lamps. The textured surface adds a fine relief you can feel under your hand, and that shallow structure breaks up the light just enough to keep a large expanse of solid color from looking flat. It also helps hide minor unevenness in the plaster beneath. If you like the effect of a fabric-like surface, the linen-look designs use it in a similar way, and there is a broader choice of solid wallpapers if you want the same idea in another shade. These are premium quality wallpapers.
Style and rooms
The shade and surface put this one in retro schemes, alongside dark wood, brass fittings and upholstery in mustard, cream or olive. Strong color on all four walls suits rooms you use in the evening; on a single wall it works as a background for framed pictures or open shelving. White trim and pale flooring keep the red from closing a room in.

In a wall behind the TV the plain ground stops the screen from competing with a pattern, and in a hallway the solid color gives a short stretch of wall some weight without making it feel narrower. Paired with a desk setup, it sits quietly behind monitors and bookshelves.
