Hector Cream White
Also available in:
Hector Creme Blanche is a plain wallpaper in white and cream. There is no motif to align or repeat, just an even field of color that shifts slightly between the warmer cream tone and the cooler white. On a full wall it reads as a single soft, light shade, closer to painted plaster than to a printed design.
Color and surface
White and cream are among the easiest wall colors to build a room around, because they reflect light instead of absorbing it and they do not compete with anything hung in front of them. The cream keeps the white from looking clinical, so the wall stays warm under both daylight and lamplight. A solid wall covering also gives you freedom with furniture: dark wood, painted cabinetry, patterned textiles and framed prints all stand out clearly against it. If you are choosing between shades, it is worth comparing this one with the rest of the cream options and with the cooler white range before deciding. These are premium quality wallpapers.
Rooms and styles
Plain light walls suit minimalism and any scheme where the furniture or the art is meant to carry the room. It also works well as a partner to a patterned paper on one wall, since it can cover the remaining three without adding visual noise. In a narrow entry, the pale tone helps, which is why papers like this one turn up often in the to lighten hallway selection.
- Living rooms, including the wall behind a sofa
- Bedrooms and nurseries
- Kitchens and dining rooms
- Hallways, home offices and bathrooms
In a living room it gives shelving and pictures a quiet background, and in an office the lack of pattern keeps the wall from pulling attention away from the desk.
