Heloise Grey Black
Also available in:
Heloise Grey Black is a floral and botanical wallpaper in gray and black. Blooms and foliage are drawn across the wall in a dense arrangement, with the darker outlines standing out against the gray ground. The limited palette keeps a busy pattern readable, so the design holds together at a distance and shows its detail up close.
Pattern and surface
The finish is matte, which absorbs light instead of reflecting it and keeps the contrast between gray and black consistent from morning to evening. The textured surface adds a fine relief you can feel with your hand, giving the flowers and leaves a little depth and helping to mask minor unevenness in the wall beneath. If this kind of drawing appeals, there is more to see among the leaf designs and in the wider floral range. These are premium quality wallpapers.
Style and rooms
The look is exotic and tropical with a retro streak, and the sheer density of the pattern places it firmly in maximalist schemes. Gray and black work with dark wood, brass fittings, cane furniture and plain upholstery in charcoal, cream or deep green. On a single wall the pattern carries the room on its own; used across all four, it suits smaller spaces where a strong design has nowhere to compete with itself.
- Living rooms, including the wall behind a sofa
- Bedrooms, on a feature wall or throughout
- Kitchens and dining rooms
- Hallways, home offices and bathrooms
In a dining room the dark tones sit well with evening lighting and framed artwork. In a hallway, where there is little furniture to look at, the botanical drawing gives the walls something to do.
French design meets German engineering, made entirely in Europe.
