Cleophee Blue Green
Cleophee Bleu Vert is an abstract wallpaper worked in blue and green, with further shades running through the design as accents. The forms are loose and free rather than geometric, and because the palette is multicolored the pattern carries its own contrast without needing much help from the rest of the room. Read from across a room, the blues and greens settle into a single overall tone; up close, the separate shapes and color breaks become clear.
Pattern and style
The drawing belongs to the abstract family, so there is no motif to identify and no strict repeat to line up visually across a wall. That makes it forgiving on walls broken by doors, sockets or shelving. The style leans retro, with the kind of color pairing and free-hand shape associated with mid-century and later decorative painting. It is also a fit for maximalism, meaning it holds up next to patterned textiles, a full gallery wall or furniture in strong colors instead of asking for a bare room around it. These are premium quality wallpapers.
Where it works
One wall is usually enough, though the pattern can take a whole room if the furniture is plain. Pick up the green in plants or upholstery, or the blue in ceramics and paintwork, and the scheme holds together.
- Living rooms, including the wall behind a sofa
- Bedrooms, on a headboard wall
- Kitchens and dining areas
- Hallways and home offices
In a living room it gives a focal point without the need for large artwork, and in a hallway the busy pattern makes a short, windowless run of wall worth looking at.
