Martin Dark Gray
Also available in:
Martin Dark Grey is a plain wallpaper in a deep, cool gray. There is no motif to follow and no repeat to line up visually across the wall, so the color and the surface do all the work. The shade is dark enough to read as a defined block of color rather than a neutral background, and it holds its depth from one end of a wall to the other.
Surface and color
The finish is matte, so light falls on it without glare or bright spots, which matters on a dark shade where shine would show every angle of the wall. A textured surface adds fine relief you can feel with your hand, and that structure breaks up the flat color just enough to keep a large expanse from looking like paint. It also helps hide minor unevenness in the wall beneath. If you are comparing similar surfaces, the full textured selection is worth browsing, as is the range of solid-color designs. These are premium quality wallpapers.
Style and rooms
The dark gray suits industrial interiors built on metal, exposed fixtures, raw wood and concrete tones. It sits well behind black or brass lighting, leather seating and open shelving. Because the wall carries no pattern, framed prints, shelves and furniture stand out clearly against it. It pairs easily with paler walls in the same room, and with white or oak cabinetry.
- Living room walls, including behind a sofa
- Bedrooms, on all four walls or one alone
- Kitchens, dining rooms and hallways
- Home offices and bathrooms
In a gray living room it gives a settled backdrop for artwork and lamps. In an office the darker tone cuts reflected glare near a screen, and in a dining room it frames a table and pendant light without competing with them.
