Ethel Beige Pink
Ethel Beige Rose is an animal-motif wallpaper worked in pink over a beige ground. The two shades sit close together in tone, so the motifs read as a quiet all-over pattern rather than as separate figures scattered across the wall. Seen from across a room the design settles into a soft, even surface; up close the individual shapes become clear.
Pattern and color
The pink is muted rather than bright, which keeps the design from taking over a room and makes it easier to live with on all four walls. Because the motifs repeat at a steady interval, the paper suits both full rooms and single walls without the pattern looking cut off. Other designs in the same family are collected in the Animals range, and if the shade is what draws you, the broader selection of Pink wallpapers is worth comparing against it. These are premium quality wallpapers.
Where it works
A pattern this restrained holds up well in rooms that get daily use and in spaces where there is not much furniture to look at. It sits comfortably with painted wood, cane, rattan and pale upholstery, and it leaves plain curtains or a simple rug to do their own work.
- Living room walls, whole or partial
- Kitchens, including a wall away from the cooking zone
- Entry halls and stair walls
- Home offices and study corners
In a living room the beige base keeps the wall from competing with pictures or shelving. A hallway gains some interest where there is rarely room for anything else, and in an office the pattern stays calm enough to sit behind a screen all day.
