Oskar Grey
Also available in:
Oskar Grey is a striped wallpaper in cream, beige and grey. The bands alternate in a steady rhythm, with the warmer cream and beige tones carrying most of the surface and the grey setting the lines apart. Because all three shades sit in the same muted range, the pattern stays quiet on a full wall and does not fight with furniture placed in front of it.
Surface and finish
The finish is matte, so daylight and lamplight fall on it without glare and the colors hold the same tone from morning to evening. The textured surface adds a fine relief along the stripes that you can feel with a hand, and that structure also helps mask minor unevenness in older plaster. Run vertically, the stripes lengthen the wall, which is useful under a lower ceiling. These are premium quality wallpapers. More designs in the same family are gathered in the striped range, and the grey selection is worth comparing if you are matching an existing scheme.
Style and rooms
The color mix suits farmhouse rooms, vintage and retro schemes, and boho chic interiors built on rattan, woven baskets and layered textiles. It sits well with painted wood, natural linen and warm metal fittings, and it gives framed prints or a patterned rug a plain enough backdrop to read clearly.
- Living rooms, including behind a sofa or around a TV unit
- Bedrooms and nurseries
- Kitchens, dining rooms and hallways
- Home offices and bathrooms
In a hallway the vertical lines make a narrow run feel taller, and the cream and beige keep the space from going dark. Used in a nursery, the soft palette stays appropriate as the room takes on new furniture over the years, and in a dining room it works behind a table without drawing attention from it.
French design meets German engineering, made entirely in Europe.
