Grace Light Anthracite
Grace Light Anthracite is a plain wallpaper in a light anthracite grey. There is no motif and no repeat to line up, so the colour carries the whole wall on its own. The grey sits on the cool side of neutral and stays even from top to bottom, which makes it a straightforward backdrop for furniture, art and shelving.
Surface and finish
The look is matte, so the wall absorbs light instead of reflecting it and the grey holds the same depth in daylight and under lamps. The surface is textured, giving the paper a fine relief you can feel with your hand. On a plain colour that structure does most of the visual work: it catches light at a shallow angle and breaks up the flatness, and it also helps hide minor unevenness in the wall beneath. These are premium quality wallpapers. If you like uninterrupted colour, the wider range of solid designs is worth browsing, and you can compare shades in the darker grey selection.
Rooms and pairing
A plain grey of this weight belongs to minimalist interiors, where the wall is meant to be quiet and the objects in front of it do the talking. It pairs with pale oak, black metal, white joinery and linen or wool textiles, and it gives framed prints a clear ground without a pattern behind them.
- Living rooms, including behind a sofa or a TV unit
- Bedrooms, on all four walls or one alone
- Kitchens and dining rooms
- Hallways and home offices
In a living room feature wall the texture keeps a single block of grey from looking flat, and in a hallway the darker tone gives coats, doors and light fittings something to stand against.
