Karine White Red
Karine White Red is a floral wallpaper in two colors: red flowers set against a white ground. The drawing is the main event, with the blooms spaced across the surface so the white keeps showing through between them. Because only two shades are in play, the pattern stays easy to read from across a room and does not fight with whatever else is on the wall.
Pattern and surface
The finish is matte, so the red holds the same depth in daylight and under lamps instead of flaring where the light hits. The surface is textured, giving the paper a fine relief you can feel with a hand, and that shallow structure softens the edges of the flowers and helps hide minor unevenness in the wall behind it. These are premium quality wallpapers. More designs in the same family are gathered in the floral selection, and the red on white combination has its own small group under red and white.
Style and rooms
The style is vintage, the kind of print that suits painted wood, older case furniture and simple cotton or linen textiles. It also works in farmhouse schemes, where white walls and plain tiles give the flowers room to sit. Pair it with unpatterned upholstery and keep other prints to a minimum.
- Living rooms, including a single feature wall
- Bedrooms and home offices
- Kitchens and dining rooms
- Hallways and bathrooms
In a hallway the white ground keeps a narrow run of wall from closing in, while in a bedroom the red gives the room color without the need for much else on the walls.
