Marie Grey
Also available in:
Marie Grey is a plain wallpaper in a single gray shade. There is no motif, no repeat and no seam to line up in the pattern, so the wall reads as one continuous color. That makes it a straightforward choice when the walls are meant to sit behind the furniture rather than compete with it.
Color and pattern
Gray is a neutral that works in both directions: it cools down warm wood and brass, and it grounds white trim, glass and chrome. Because the color is uniform, it changes with the light rather than with the pattern, looking lighter near a window and deeper in corners and along hallway walls. A solid surface also gives you freedom with everything you hang on it, from framed prints to open shelving, since nothing has to be centered or balanced against a motif. These are premium quality wallpapers.
Style and rooms
The design belongs to minimalism, where a limited palette and clean lines carry the room. It suits interiors built on a few pieces of furniture and plenty of empty wall, and it pairs easily with textiles that have some texture of their own, such as wool throws, linen curtains or a deep-pile rug.
- Living room walls, including behind a sofa or around a media unit
- Bedrooms, on all four walls or a single wall behind the bed
- Hallways, where a plain color keeps a narrow space calm
- Home offices and dining rooms
In a living room the even gray works as a background for artwork and lamps, and it is a practical option for an accent wall when you want a block of color instead of a pattern. In an office the lack of pattern keeps the field of view quiet at a desk, and in a dining room it lets the table and chairs set the tone.
French design meets German engineering, made entirely in Europe.
