Emile Beige
Also available in:
Émile Beige is a plain wallpaper in cream and beige, with no motif and no repeat to line up. The two shades sit close together, so the wall reads as one warm, softly varied tone rather than a flat block of color. Seen up close, the surface imitates the weave of cloth.
Surface and finish
The matte look means the wall takes light without any gloss or hot spots, which keeps the color even from morning to evening and across large uninterrupted stretches. The textured finish adds a fine relief you can feel with your hand, and that shallow structure helps hide small dents and patch marks in the wall beneath. Because the design is solid rather than patterned, it also works on walls broken up by doors, sockets or sloping ceilings, where a figured print would be cut awkwardly. If the cloth-like surface is what appeals, the rest of the fabric texture collection is worth comparing. These are premium quality wallpapers.
Style and rooms
The warm neutral suits boho chic rooms built on rattan, woven baskets and plants, and it suits minimalist schemes just as well, where the color does the work and the texture keeps the wall from looking bare. It sits behind dark wood, natural oak, black metal and off-white paint without competing with any of them, and it gives artwork, open shelving and patterned textiles a quiet background.
- Living rooms, including the wall behind a sofa or a TV unit
- Bedrooms and nurseries
- Kitchens, dining rooms and hallways
- Home offices and bathrooms
In a bedroom the cream tone keeps the room light while the weave effect adds some depth to plain walls. In a hallway or an office, it covers all four walls without becoming tiring to look at, and it can be combined with a bolder print on a single wall.
