Martin Light Turqouise
Also available in:
Martin Light Turquoise is a plain wallpaper in a pale turquoise-blue. There is no motif and no repeat to line up, so the colour runs evenly across the wall and reads as a single flat tone from a short distance. The shade sits on the cool side of blue but stays light, which keeps it closer to a soft painted finish than to a saturated accent colour.
Surface and colour
The finish is matte, so the wall does not reflect lamplight or window light back at you and the colour holds steady from morning to evening. A textured surface gives the paper a fine, even relief that you can feel with your hand, and that structure breaks up the flatness a solid shade can otherwise have. It also makes minor unevenness in the plaster less noticeable. These are premium quality wallpapers. If the surface is what draws you, the rest of the textured wallpapers are worth comparing, and the full range of solid designs covers the same idea in other shades.
Style and rooms
The pale tone and absence of pattern put this firmly in Scandinavian schemes built on light wood, white trim and simple furniture. It also suits minimalist rooms where the walls are meant to stay quiet. Because it adds colour without competing for attention, it works well behind artwork, open shelving or a bed with patterned textiles.
- Living rooms, on all four walls or one
- Bedrooms and nurseries
- Kitchens and dining rooms
- Hallways, home offices and bathrooms
In a hallway the light shade keeps a space with little daylight from feeling closed in, and in a nursery the plain finish stays usable as furniture and toys change over the years.
