Joan Pink Green
Also available in:
Joan Pink Green is a floral wallpaper built on purple and black. The flowers are drawn large and read clearly from across a room, with the darker tone setting the outlines and the purple carrying the blooms and foliage. The result is a high-contrast pattern that holds its shape on a full wall as well as on a single panel.
Surface and finish
The print has a matte appearance, so there is no gloss to bounce lamplight or daylight back at you, and the purple stays even in tone from morning to evening. The textured surface adds a fine relief you can feel with your hand, which breaks up reflections further and helps mask minor unevenness in the wall beneath. Against a smooth painted ceiling or plain woodwork, that structure gives the pattern some depth without adding another color. These are premium quality wallpapers. If large-scale botanicals are what you are after, the floral range covers the field, and the pink selection is worth comparing for softer versions of the same idea.
Style and rooms
The design leans Art Deco in its scale and symmetry, with an exotic, tropical character in the plant forms. It sits well with dark wood, brass fittings, velvet upholstery and black metal frames. Because the palette is limited to two strong tones, it pairs more easily with plain furniture than with a second pattern. Other bold combinations can be found among the multicolor designs.
- Living room and dining room walls
- Bedrooms, whole room or one feature wall
- Hallways, where the pattern gets seen in passing
- Kitchens, offices and bathrooms
In a kitchen the dark ground works behind open shelving and plain cabinet fronts, while a hallway gives the large flowers the short viewing distance they suit.
French design meets German engineering, made entirely in Europe.
