Oskar Blue
Also available in:
Oskar Blue is a striped wallpaper in gray. The bands repeat at an even rhythm across the width, so the pattern stays orderly and easy to read from across a room. Because the stripes work in one color family, the design adds structure to a wall without pulling attention away from furniture or artwork.
Surface and finish
The finish is matte, so light falls on it evenly instead of reflecting back in bright patches, and the gray keeps the same value in daylight and under lamps. The surface is textured, giving the stripes a shallow relief you can feel with your hand and a fine structure that helps mask minor unevenness in the wall beneath. Vertical banding of this kind lengthens a wall visually, which is useful under a low ceiling or in a room that is taller than it is wide. More designs of this type are collected in the striped range, and the full color selection shows how gray sits next to neighboring shades. These are premium quality wallpapers.
Style and rooms
The restrained palette suits farmhouse rooms and vintage schemes alike. It pairs well with painted wood, rattan, plain cotton or linen textiles, and dark metal hardware. Against white trim the stripes stay crisp; against warmer wall colors and oak floors they read softer.
- Living rooms, including the wall behind a sofa
- Bedrooms, whole room or single wall
- Kitchens, dining rooms and hallways
- Home offices, bathrooms and nurseries
In a hallway the vertical lines give a narrow passage some height, and shelves or framed prints hang against it without visual clutter. In a nursery the neutral gray stays appropriate as the room is furnished differently over the years.
