Leonore Pastel Blue
Leonore Pastel Blue is a plain wallpaper in a soft pastel shade that sits between blue and purple, depending on the light in the room. There is no motif and no repeat to line up, so the colour runs unbroken across the wall and works as a background for whatever stands in front of it.
Surface and finish
The finish is matte. Without any sheen, the shade stays even from one end of a wall to the other and does not flare up under a lamp or a window. The surface is also textured, with a fine relief you can feel under your hand, close to the weave of a linen cloth. That structure gives a flat colour some depth and makes minor unevenness in the plaster less obvious than a smooth paint layer would. These are premium quality wallpapers.
Style and rooms
A single quiet shade with no pattern belongs in minimalist schemes and in Scandinavian rooms built on pale wood, white trim and few objects. It pairs easily with oak, rattan, grey upholstery and brushed metal, and it leaves framed prints, shelving or a patterned rug to do the visual work. Because it is one of the solid designs, it also combines well with a patterned paper on a facing wall.

In a hallway the pale tone keeps a narrow space from closing in, and in a nursery the colour is calm enough to stay in place as the furniture and the use of the room change.
