Margaux Rose Creme
Also available in:
Margaux Creme Pink is a floral wallpaper built on a cream ground, with blooms and foliage drawn in pink, purple, yellow and orange over white and beige. Faces are worked into the botanical shapes, so parts of the pattern read as portraits one moment and as petals and leaves the next. That double reading gives the design an optical illusion quality and keeps the abstract elements from settling into a simple repeat.
Pattern and finish
The surface is smooth, with no relief under the hand, which lets the drawing and the colour transitions stay sharp. A matte look means the wall does not throw back light, so the pinks and yellows hold the same value near a window and in a darker corner. The palette is warm throughout, and the cream base carries enough of the wall to stop the brighter tones from crowding each other. If the foliage element is what draws you, the wider leaf pattern selection covers related designs. These are premium quality wallpapers.
Style and rooms
The drawing style is vintage in feeling, with a retro colour range that suits maximalist schemes where pattern is layered rather than rationed. It sits well with dark wood, brass fittings, velvet upholstery and painted furniture in plain colours picked out of the print. Against white or cream paintwork on the remaining walls, it works as a single papered surface.
- Living room walls, including behind a sofa
- Bedrooms, on all four walls or one
- Kitchens and dining rooms
- Hallways and home offices
In a dining room the busy pattern does most of the decorating, so the table and chairs can stay plain. In a hallway it covers a space usually passed through quickly, and in an office it gives a backdrop with more to look at than a painted wall.
French design meets German engineering, made entirely in Europe.
