Marie Greige
Also available in:
Marie Greige is a plain wallpaper in a greige tone, where beige and gray meet in a single even color. There is no motif and no repeat to line up, so the wall reads as one continuous surface. The gray keeps the beige from turning yellow in warm light, and the beige keeps the gray from looking cold, which is why the shade holds up on large walls as well as short ones.
Color and use
A solid color like this gives you a background rather than a focal point. It sits behind artwork, open shelving and tall plants without competing with them, and it makes wood furniture, rattan and woven textiles stand out more clearly than a patterned wall would. Because the tone is neutral, it also pairs with a bolder design on an adjacent wall. You will find related shades among the beige wallpapers, and the full range of solid designs is worth comparing if you want to match undertones across rooms. These are premium quality wallpapers.
Styles and rooms
The shade suits minimalism, where the point is fewer visual breaks, and it works just as well in Boho Chic schemes built on layered rugs, macramé and mixed natural fibers. In a living room it covers all four walls without closing the space in.
- Living rooms, including behind a sofa or around a TV unit
- Bedrooms and nurseries
- Kitchens and dining rooms
- Hallways and home offices
In a hallway, where wall space is broken up by doors and switches, a plain finish avoids the cut patterns that a motif would create. In a nursery the same neutral works from crib to desk, so the room does not need redecorating when its use changes.
French design meets German engineering, made entirely in Europe.
