Frederique Multicolor
Frederique Colore is a botanical wallpaper in a multicolor palette. Leaves and plant forms are drawn across the surface in several shades at once, so the design carries contrast within itself rather than relying on a single accent color. The scale of the foliage gives the pattern a clear reading from across a room, while the mix of tones keeps it from settling into one flat block of color on the wall.
Pattern and style
The drawing sits in the exotic and tropical end of botanical design, built on plant shapes rather than geometry or stripes. Because the palette runs to multicolor, the paper tends to lead a room instead of staying in the background, which makes it a practical choice for one wall rather than four. It pairs well with plain painted surfaces, wood furniture and solid-color textiles that pick up one of the shades in the print. These are premium quality wallpapers. Used on an accent wall, the pattern gives a room a focal point without needing much else on the wall, so pictures and shelving can stay sparse.
Rooms and placement
The design suits a range of rooms, and the way it reads changes with the space. In a living room it works as a backdrop to seating, and the area behind the sofa is the usual place for it, since the furniture breaks up the lower half of the pattern. In a hallway the botanical motif is seen in passing and at close range, which favors a full run of wall over a small panel.
- Living room walls and seating areas
- Bedrooms, often behind the headboard
- Hallways and entry walls
- Home offices and dining rooms
In a dining room, the pattern holds its own against a table and chairs, and in an office it gives a plain working wall something to look at without crowding shelves or a desk.
French design meets German engineering, made entirely in Europe.
