Ruth Pastel Pink
Ruth Pastel Pink is a floral wallpaper in pink on a cream ground. The flowers and leaves are drawn in a botanical style and spread across the wall in a repeating arrangement, so the pattern stays even from edge to edge. The two shades sit close together in tone, which keeps the print soft-looking at a distance and lets the individual blooms show up when you stand near the wall.
Pattern and finish
The surface is matte, so light falls on it without reflecting back, and the pink holds the same value in daylight and under lamps. A textured surface gives the paper a fine relief that you can feel with your hand and that breaks up the flat look of a painted wall. That structure is also forgiving on plaster that is not perfectly smooth. The design belongs with other floral prints, and the leafwork links it to the botanical designs in the range. These are premium quality wallpapers.
Style and rooms
The cream and pink combination suits farmhouse rooms and vintage schemes built on painted wood, cane, brass and plain textiles. It sits well with white or off-white trim, and it gives solid-colored upholstery something to read against without crowding it.
- Living rooms, including the wall behind a sofa
- Bedrooms, on all four walls or one only
- Kitchens and dining rooms
- Hallways, home offices and nurseries
In a bedroom the small-scale flowers keep the walls quiet enough to sleep against, and in a hallway the pale ground keeps a narrow space from looking closed in.
