Hubert Essence Foncee
Also available in:
Hubert Dark Petrol is a wallpaper with an abstract wave pattern in deep petrol blue. The wave lines move across the wall in loose, irregular curves rather than a strict repeat, and lighter and darker blue tones run through them, with secondary shades breaking up the surface so the design reads as multicolored up close and as a single dark blue field from across the room.
Pattern and finish
The finish is matte, so the dark shade stays even and does not throw back window light or lamp glare. The surface is also textured, giving the wave lines a shallow relief that you can feel with your hand and that catches a small amount of shadow along each curve. That fine structure has a practical side too, since it makes minor bumps and seams in the wall beneath less obvious. These are premium quality wallpapers. If the flowing line is what draws you, there are more designs among the waves, and looser forms of the same idea in the abstract patterns.
Style and rooms
The dark petrol ground suits Scandinavian schemes built on pale oak, white paint and plain textiles, where it works as the one dark surface in the room. It also sits well in vintage and contemporary interiors, alongside brass or black metal fittings, velvet upholstery and warm wood. Pale furniture reads clearly against it, and lighting matters: a dark wall absorbs light, so lamps or wall fittings nearby help.
- Living rooms, including behind a sofa or a TV unit
- Bedrooms, whole room or one wall
- Hallways, kitchens and dining rooms
- Home offices, bathrooms and kids' rooms
In a living room it gives shelving and framed prints a dark backdrop to stand against. In a bedroom the deep blue keeps the space quiet, and the wave pattern stays soft enough not to hold the eye at night.
