Francois Beige
François Beige is a plain wallpaper in a single beige shade. There is no motif and no repeat to align, so the wall reads as one continuous field of color. Beige sits between warm and neutral, which means it holds up next to wood, white trim and darker furniture without pulling the room in one direction.
Color and surface
A solid color covers more ground than paint usually does, because the wall keeps an even tone from corner to corner rather than showing brush marks or roller edges. Beige also changes slightly with the light through the day, going a little cooler in the morning and warmer under lamps in the evening. These are premium quality wallpapers. If a plain wall is what you are after, the full range of solid designs is worth comparing, and the beige selection shows how many directions a single family of shades can take.
Style and rooms
The plain surface suits minimalist interiors, where the furniture and the architecture are meant to be what you notice. It works just as well in boho chic schemes, since rattan, woven baskets, plants and layered textiles need a quiet background to sit against. Art, shelving and mirrors all show clearly on a wall with nothing else going on.
- Living room walls, whole room or a single wall
- Bedrooms, including behind the bed
- Hallways and entrance areas
- Home offices and dining rooms
In a bedroom the even tone keeps the room calm and makes bedding and curtains the main color decision. A hallway benefits from the lack of pattern, since narrow spaces are seen at close range and up to a full wall height. In a home office the plain background stays out of the way of screens, shelves and pinned-up work.
