Justine Creme Noire
Also available in:
Justine Creme Black is a botanical wallpaper that sets black plant forms against a cream ground. The contrast is high and the drawing is graphic rather than shaded, so the leaf shapes stay legible from across a room and read almost as silhouettes up close. With only two colors in play, the pattern keeps a clear rhythm across the wall.
Pattern and color
Cream keeps the background light, which stops the black from closing the room in, and the two tones give you a neutral base that takes on the color of whatever sits in front of it. The design belongs to the botanical group, with foliage carrying the repeat, and the tropical styling comes through in the shape and scale of the leaves rather than in bright color. If you are building a scheme around dark accents, it also fits alongside other black designs. These are premium quality wallpapers.
Rooms and pairings
A two-tone pattern this strong works well on one wall, and it is a straightforward choice for an accent wall or for the surface behind a sofa, where the furniture breaks up the lower half of the repeat. In a hallway the cream keeps a windowless space from feeling dim while the black gives the walls definition.
- Living rooms, full walls or a single feature wall
- Bedrooms, often best behind the headboard
- Entryways and hallways
- Home offices and dining rooms
It pairs easily with black metal fittings, rattan, pale oak and off-white paint. Plain upholstery and simple curtains suit it best, since a second pattern in the room competes with the leaf shapes.
French design meets German engineering, made entirely in Europe.
