Idriss Blue
Also available in:
Idriss Blue is a geometric wallpaper in blue and brown. The shapes are drawn loosely rather than with hard mechanical edges, so the repeat reads as abstract even though the underlying structure is regular. Blue carries most of the surface, with brown marking out the shapes and giving the pattern its contrast.
Pattern and color
The two colors sit at different weights: the blue keeps the wall cool, while the brown warms the design and stops it from reading as flat. Because the forms are abstract, the pattern does not point the eye in a single direction, which makes it easier to use across a full wall or broken up by doors and windows. The geometric repeat is close enough in scale to stay readable from across a room without taking over. If you are working with warmer neutrals elsewhere, the related brown and beige designs are worth comparing. These are premium quality wallpapers.
Style and rooms
The drawing and color pairing place this firmly in retro schemes. It works alongside teak or walnut furniture, brass fittings and solid upholstery in mustard, rust or cream. Plain curtains and a simple rug keep the pattern as the main point of interest; a second pattern in the same room will compete with it.
- Living room walls, including behind a sofa
- Bedrooms, whole room or one wall
- Kitchens and dining rooms
- Hallways and home offices
- Bathrooms and nurseries
In a living room the pattern gives a shelving unit or a low sideboard something to stand against. Used in a bedroom, the blue keeps the walls restrained enough for the room to stay restful, and the brown ties in with wooden bed frames and bedside tables.
