Martin Brown
Also available in:
Martin Brown is a plain wallpaper in a single brown shade, with no motif or repeat to line up across the wall. The interest comes from the surface rather than from a pattern, so the colour stays even from one edge of the room to the other.
Surface and finish
The look is matte, which means the brown holds its depth instead of picking up highlights from lamps or windows. The textured surface has a fine relief that is visible up close and can be felt under the hand, and that structure breaks up reflected light across a large area. It also does a fair job of hiding minor unevenness in the wall underneath. If you like this kind of finish, there is more of it in the textured selection, and the full range of solid-colour designs is worth comparing before you decide. Related options are also grouped in the non-woven range. These are premium quality wallpapers.
Style and rooms
The ethnic character sits in the warmth of the shade and the handmade look of the texture, so it works with rattan, dark wood, woven baskets and rugs with strong patterns. Because there is no motif competing for attention, framed art, shelving and textiles read clearly against it. Other brown wallpapers in the range give you nearby tones if you are papering adjoining rooms.
- Living rooms, on all four walls or one feature wall
- Bedrooms, including behind a headboard
- Kitchens and dining rooms
- Hallways and home offices
In a living room the plain surface suits walls that already carry pictures or a full bookcase. A work space benefits from the same quietness, since nothing in the pattern pulls the eye off a desk or screen.
