Ophelia Creme
Also available in:
Ophelia Creme is a floral wallpaper with dense botanical detail set on a white to cream ground. The plants are drawn large and close together, and the blooms and foliage carry several colors at once, so the pattern reads as full and varied while the pale background keeps the wall from going dark.
Pattern and surface
The finish is matte, which means the drawing stays legible from an angle instead of flattening under reflected light, and the cream ground holds an even tone across a full wall. The surface is textured, giving a fine relief you can feel with your hand and a slight break in the light that softens the edges of the printed leaves. Because the pattern is busy but light in overall value, it can cover all four walls of a smaller room without closing it in, or run on one wall as the main point of interest. It sits in our floral collection and also among the botanical designs, next to other cream backgrounds. These are premium quality wallpapers.
Style and rooms
The scale and the range of color put this design in exotic and tropical schemes, and it works for maximalist rooms where pattern is meant to carry the walls rather than stay in the background. Pair it with rattan, dark stained wood or painted furniture; plain upholstery in white, cream or a single picked-out color from the print will keep the room readable. Brass or black metal fittings suit it, and plain curtains are a safer choice here than a second pattern.
- Living rooms, including a single accent wall
- Bedrooms and nurseries
- Kitchens, dining rooms and hallways
- Home offices and bathrooms
In a living room it gives a sofa wall something to sit against without the need for framed art. In a dining room the close pattern suits the shorter time spent there, and in a nursery the plants give plenty to look at while the pale ground keeps the room bright.
