Phileas Orange Blue
Also available in:
Phileas Orange Blue is a floral wallpaper with an abstract, retro drawing style. Orange and blue shapes sit against each other across the surface, with the flower forms simplified into flat outlines and blocks of color rather than realistic detail. The two shades carry roughly equal weight, so the pattern reads as graphic and repeats clearly across a full wall.
Pattern and color
The orange brings warmth and does most of the visual work, while the blue cools the repeat and keeps the design from turning into a single block of color. Because the motifs are abstract, the pattern holds together at a distance and shows its individual shapes up close. It suits anyone drawn to floral designs but not to traditional botanical prints, and it fits comfortably in the wider retro range. If you like this color direction, the selection of orange wallpapers is worth browsing as well. These are premium quality wallpapers.
Rooms and pairings
A pattern this strong works well on one wall, with the remaining walls kept plain. Set against white or off-white paint, the orange stays bright without spreading through the whole room. Mid-tone wood furniture, dark leather and simple metal frames all sit well with it, and plain textiles in cream or deep blue will stop the scheme from becoming crowded.
- Living rooms, including behind a sofa
- Bedrooms, on a full wall or a single panel
- Kitchens, dining rooms and entryways
- Home offices, bathrooms and nurseries
In a living room it gives a focal point without needing artwork on top of it, and a hallway is a good place for it because the pattern is seen in passing rather than all day.
