Francine Light Cream
Also available in:
Francine Creme Legere is an abstract wallpaper in cream. The design has no repeating motif to count or line up by eye, so the pattern reads as an overall surface rather than a figure against a background. Because it stays in the cream range, the contrast is low and the wall keeps a single, light tone when you look at it from across the room.
Pattern and color
Cream is a warm light shade, so it brightens a wall without the flat coolness of plain white. That makes it useful on walls that get little daylight, and in rooms where you want the furniture and pictures to carry the color instead. The abstract drawing gives the surface something to look at up close, while from a normal viewing distance it settles into an even field. It sits easily next to painted woodwork, and it does not compete with a patterned rug, curtains or upholstery. If you are matching other walls or a second room, the rest of the cream selection is worth comparing side by side. These are premium quality wallpapers.
Rooms and use
The light shade and quiet pattern suit most rooms in a home, including ones where a stronger design would be tiring to live with.
- Living room walls, including behind a sofa
- Bedrooms, all four walls or one accent wall
- Kitchens, dining rooms and bathrooms
- Hallways, home offices and nurseries
In a hallway the pale ground helps a narrow space read as more open, which is why it also belongs in the group of papers chosen to lighten hallway walls. In an office it stays calm behind a screen or a bookcase, and in a bedroom it works with both dark and light bed frames.
French design meets German engineering, made entirely in Europe.
