Maelis Brown
Maelis Brown is a botanical wallpaper in brown. Plant forms carry the design across the wall, and because the palette stays within a single brown family, the pattern reads as one even surface rather than a set of competing motifs. It gives a wall something to look at without pulling attention away from the furniture in front of it.
Pattern and color
Brown is a forgiving wall color. It holds up under warm lamplight in the evening and does not wash out in a room with a lot of daylight, and it sits comfortably next to wood, leather, black metal and unglazed ceramic. The botanical drawing keeps the overall effect softer than a plain dark paint would be, which is why this design works on all four walls as well as on a single one. If you are comparing options in this range, the wider nature selection is worth looking through, and so is the full run of wallpapers in brown. These are premium quality wallpapers.
Style and rooms
The design belongs to two related looks: farmhouse schemes built on painted wood and simple textiles, and industrial rooms with exposed pipework, steel shelving and concrete or brick. In both cases the brown ground gives hard materials something warmer to sit against. Plain curtains, a jute or wool rug and open shelving all pair well with it, while busy patterned upholstery is best kept to a minimum here.
- Living rooms, including the wall behind a sofa
- Bedrooms, on one wall or all of them
- Hallways and entryways
- Home offices and dining rooms
In an office the darker tone cuts glare around a screen and keeps a small room from feeling bare. A hallway is another good use, since brown takes daily traffic visually better than pale shades, and in a dining room it frames a table and hanging light without extra decoration on the walls.
