Eglantine Bordeaux
Also available in:
Églantine Bordeaux is a floral wallpaper in red, pink and black. Blooms and foliage sit against a dark ground, so the red and pink flowers carry most of the visual weight while the black holds the pattern together between them. The botanical drawing is detailed, with petals and leaves layered closely rather than spaced out across the wall.
Surface and finish
The appearance is glossy, which means the flowers pick up light from windows and lamps and shift slightly in tone as you move past them. Against the dark background this gives the reds and pinks more depth than a flat print would. The surface is also textured, adding a fine relief you can feel with your hand, and that structure softens the reflection so the shine reads as a sheen rather than a mirror. It also helps play down small dips and marks in the wall beneath. More designs of this kind are gathered in the floral range, and the leaf selection covers the greener end of the same theme. These are premium quality wallpapers.
Style and rooms
The dense flowers and dark ground suit vintage schemes, farmhouse rooms and exotic interiors, and the pattern has the density that maximalism asks for. It pairs well with dark wood, brass fittings and deep upholstery, and plain painted walls on the remaining sides keep the print from crowding a small space.
- Living rooms and dining rooms, including a single feature wall
- Bedrooms, or just the wall behind the bed
- Kitchens and hallways
- Home offices and nurseries
In a bedroom the black ground makes the room feel enclosed and the flowers stay legible at close range, while in a hallway the gloss works with artificial light where daylight is limited. The red tones also give you a clear starting point for cushions, rugs and curtains.
