Herve Multicolor
Also available in:
Herve Colore is a wallpaper built on geometric shapes drawn in a loose, abstract way. Blue carries the design, with additional shades worked into the repeat so the pattern reads as multicolored rather than two-tone. The forms are irregular enough that the eye keeps moving across the wall instead of settling on a single grid.
Pattern and color
The combination of geometric structure and abstract drawing means the design holds up at two distances: from across a room you see the rhythm of the shapes, and up close you see how the outlines shift and overlap. Blue anchors the scheme and keeps the other colors in check, which makes the paper easier to place than a print where every shade competes. If you are comparing options, the full range of geometric designs is worth working through, and the multicolor selection covers the same territory in other palettes. These are premium quality wallpapers.
Style and rooms
The look is retro, closer to mid-century printed patterns than to anything minimal. It suits rooms with wooden furniture, plain upholstery and simple lighting, and it gives painted woodwork something to sit against. Because the pattern is busy, one papered wall is often enough in a larger space, while a small room can take it on all four.
- Living rooms, including the wall behind a sofa
- Bedrooms and nurseries
- Kitchens and dining rooms
- Hallways, home offices and bathrooms
In a living room the blue keeps the multicolored shapes from taking over, so shelving and artwork still register. A hallway is a good use for it too, since the pattern gives a passage with little furniture something to look at.
