Elvire Green
Also available in:
Elvire Green is a wallpaper with a polka dot pattern drawn in an abstract, loosely spaced arrangement. The dots vary in their edges rather than sitting as perfect circles, which keeps the repeat from looking mechanical. Green carries the whole design, so the wall reads as a single color field with the dot pattern giving it rhythm.
Pattern and color
Because the dots are scattered instead of gridded, the eye is not pulled to any one point on the wall, and the pattern works on a large surface as easily as on a short stretch between doors. The green shade is the deciding factor in how the paper sits in a room: it holds its own against white paint and pale wood, and it stays legible next to darker furniture. If color is your starting point, the full range of green designs is worth browsing, and the light green selection narrows things further. These are premium quality wallpapers.
Style and rooms
The dot motif places this paper in the retro category, and it pairs sensibly with mid-century shapes, tapered legs, rattan and simple ceramics. It also holds up in plainer, more contemporary schemes, where it acts as the only pattern in the room. Plain curtains and solid-color textiles suit it best, since competing prints tend to crowd the dots.
- Living rooms, including an accent wall
- Bedrooms, hallways and home offices
- Kitchens, dining rooms and bathrooms
- Kids' rooms, teen rooms and nurseries
In a living room it gives a shelf wall or the space behind a sideboard something to sit against. In a hallway, where there is little furniture and a lot of wall, the scattered dots keep a long run of green from looking flat.
