Melodie Gray White
Also available in:
Mélodie Grey White is a floral wallpaper in gray on a white ground. The design combines flowers and foliage in a repeating arrangement, with the gray drawing the outlines and shading while the white keeps the background open. Because the palette stays to two tones, the pattern reads as light on the wall rather than dense, even across a large surface.
Pattern and color
The blooms are drawn at a modest scale and set among leaves and stems, so the botanical drawing carries as much of the design as the flowers do. Seen from across a room, the gray marks settle into a soft overall texture; up close, the individual shapes are clear. A white ground reflects daylight, which helps in rooms with one window or north-facing walls. Gray is a neutral, so the paper sits alongside painted woodwork and existing furniture without forcing a color scheme. There is more in the same vein among the floral designs and in the wider selection of white wallpapers. These are premium quality wallpapers.
Style and rooms
The drawing style is vintage, closer to an old botanical print than to a modern graphic. It suits rooms with wooden furniture, cane or rattan pieces, and simple linen textiles, and it gives framed pictures a quiet backdrop to hang against.
- Living room, including a single accent wall
- Bedrooms and home offices
- Kitchens and dining rooms
- Hallways and entryways
In a bedroom the gray keeps the pattern restrained enough for all four walls. In a hallway, where there is rarely much daylight, the pale ground keeps the space from closing in, and the pattern holds up well in a narrow run seen mostly in passing.
