Elvire Orange
Also available in:
Elvire Orange is an abstract wallpaper in orange, drawn in a retro idiom. The shapes are irregular rather than geometric, repeating across the wall without lining up into a strict grid, so the eye moves across the surface instead of settling on a single motif. Orange carries the whole design, which makes this a warm wall rather than a neutral one.
Pattern and color
Abstract patterns are easier to live with than figurative ones, because there is nothing specific to read and nothing that looks upside down or out of place at the edge of a wall. That also makes hanging more forgiving around door frames, corners and sloped ceilings. The orange is the deciding factor here: it warms a room that gets little daylight and holds its own against white paint, pale wood and gray upholstery. Against darker furniture it reads deeper and less bright. You will find related designs among the other orange papers and in the wider retro selection. These are premium quality wallpapers.
Rooms and pairing
Used on all four walls the pattern surrounds you with color, which suits smaller enclosed spaces. On one wall it works as a color block with the rest of the room left plain. In a living room it sits well behind low seating and open shelving, and in a hallway it gives a transit space something to look at without needing pictures. A bedroom takes it best behind the headboard, where the pattern stays out of your line of sight when you are lying down.

- Bedrooms and nurseries
- Kitchens and dining rooms
- Hallways, home offices and bathrooms
For furnishings, keep the larger pieces plain and let the wall supply the color. Teak or walnut, cream textiles and brass fittings all sit comfortably with the orange, and a solid rug in a muted shade keeps the floor quiet under a busy wall.
