Gabriel White Blue
Also available in:
Gabriel White Blue is an animal-patterned wallpaper on a white ground, printed in blue, yellow, purple, green, brown and black. The mix of shades makes it a colorful design, but the white background keeps space between the motifs so the wall does not read as crowded. The drawing style is retro, closer to a mid-century picture book than to a realistic illustration.
Surface and finish
The surface is smooth, with no relief or woven structure, so the printed shapes stay crisp and the outlines hold their form across the wall. A matte look means there is no sheen bouncing back from lamps or windows, which keeps the colors even in daylight and under artificial light in the evening. These are premium quality wallpapers. Among the animal designs in the range, this one sits on the brighter, more playful side, and the safari figures also place it alongside the giraffe patterns and zebra prints.
Where it works
The design is made for a kids' room, either on all four walls or on one wall behind a bed or a play corner. Because the palette runs across warm and cool tones, it is easy to match with furniture you already have: white or natural wood, plain textiles, a single colored rug picked out from the print.
- Full walls or a single feature wall
- Play areas, reading corners and bedsides
- Works for gender-neutral schemes
The retro drawing keeps it from looking babyish, so it holds up as a child gets older. It also suits a boys' room shared with siblings, where a busier wall gives the space a clear center and lets the rest of the furnishings stay plain.
French design meets German engineering, made entirely in Europe.
