Laurence Light Grey
Also available in:
Laurence Light Grey is a botanical wallpaper in light gray. The foliage is drawn across the wall in a repeating arrangement of leaves, and because the design stays within one color family, the pattern reads as tonal rather than high contrast. Shapes are visible up close and settle into a soft overall texture when you step back.
Pattern and finish
The surface is matte, so it reflects no light and the gray holds the same value in the morning as it does under lamps in the evening. It is also textured, giving the leaves a shallow relief that you can feel with your hand and that breaks up the flatness of a large wall. That fine structure has a practical side too: it is more forgiving of minor unevenness in the plaster than a smooth paper would be. If leaf designs interest you, the full botanical selection is worth browsing, as is the wider range of gray papers. These are premium quality wallpapers.
Style and rooms
The design belongs to the tropical and exotic side of plant patterns, but the gray keeps it restrained enough to sit with neutral walls, dark wood and rattan or cane furniture. Black metal fittings and white trim both work against it, and plain upholstery in linen or wool lets the leaves stay the main pattern in the room.
- Living room walls, including behind a sofa
- Bedrooms, on all four walls or one wall only
- Hallways and stairwells
- Home offices and study corners
In a living room it gives a shelving wall or a seating area something to sit against without adding strong color. In an office the muted tone keeps the background quiet behind a desk, monitor and bookshelves.
French design meets German engineering, made entirely in Europe.
