Irma Grey
Irma Grey is a plain wallpaper in a single grey shade, with no motif or repeat to line up. The color carries the whole design, so the wall reads as one continuous surface and the eye settles on what stands in front of it instead of on the pattern.
Color and pattern
Grey is one of the easier neutrals to build a room around, since it sits between warm and cool schemes without pulling either way. Because the design is unpatterned, it can run across several walls in a room without becoming repetitive, and it accepts corners, sloped ceilings and awkward wall breaks more forgivingly than a figured design would. It also gives picture frames, shelving and open storage a quiet background to sit against. There is more in the solid color range, and the full selection of grays is worth comparing side by side. These are premium quality wallpapers.
Style and rooms
The plain grey suits Scandinavian interiors built on pale wood and white paint, as well as boho chic rooms where the textiles, baskets and plants do the work. It fits Japandi schemes too, where restraint in the wall color is the point. Pair it with oak or walnut furniture, black metal fittings, linen curtains or a rug with a strong pattern.
- Living rooms, including behind a sofa or around a TV unit
- Bedrooms and nurseries
- Kitchens and dining rooms
- Hallways, home offices and bathrooms
In a hallway the even color keeps a narrow space from feeling cluttered, and in a home office it gives a calm backdrop for a desk, a monitor and a wall of shelves.
