Idriss Turqouise
Also available in:
Idriss Turquoise is a geometric wallpaper in turquoise, with shapes drawn in a loose, abstract way rather than a strict grid. The forms repeat across the wall in a steady rhythm, so the design holds together as a pattern while the individual shapes stay irregular enough to keep the surface interesting up close.
Pattern and color
Turquoise sits between blue and green, which makes it easier to place than a flat primary shade. It reads cool next to white or gray and warmer next to wood and brass. The abstract geometry gives the wall structure without the rigidity of stripes or checks, and because the shapes are not perfectly regular, small kinks in a wall or an out-of-square corner are less noticeable. These are premium quality wallpapers. If the color is what draws you, the wider turquoise selection is worth browsing, and there is more in the same vein among the geometric designs.
Style and rooms
The design belongs to the retro family, so it suits mid-century furniture, tapered legs, teak veneers and simple upholstery in solid colors. It also works in plainer modern rooms where one patterned wall carries the scheme and everything else stays quiet. Pair it with unpatterned curtains and keep artwork to a minimum on the papered wall.
- Living rooms, including behind a sofa
- Bedrooms and nurseries
- Kitchens and dining rooms
- Hallways, home offices and bathrooms
In a living room the pattern gives a flat wall something to do without crowding shelving or a television. A hallway is another good candidate, since the repeat keeps moving as you walk past it and the color lifts a space that usually has little natural light.
French design meets German engineering, made entirely in Europe.
