Selene Dark Gray
Also available in:
Selene Gris Fonce is a plain wallpaper in a deep gray. There is no motif and no repeat to line up, so the wall reads as one continuous color from corner to corner. Because nothing competes for attention, the shade itself does the work, sitting darker than the mid grays usually chosen for large walls.
Color and pattern
A solid surface gives you a plain backdrop, which is useful when the furniture, art or joinery in a room already carries the pattern. Dark gray absorbs more light than pale colors, so it tends to make a wall recede and give depth to a room rather than brighten it. It also holds its own next to black metal, walnut, oak and brass, and it makes white picture frames, shelves and mouldings stand out clearly. If you prefer walls without a motif, the full range of solid designs is worth browsing, and there are more options in the same tonal range among the dark gray papers. These are premium quality wallpapers.
Style and rooms
The color suits Scandinavian interiors, where a darker gray is often used to anchor rooms built around pale wood, wool and white paint. It works equally well in modern schemes with plain upholstery and simple lighting. Used on all four walls it creates an even, low-contrast shell; used on one wall it marks out a single zone without the need for a pattern.
- Accent wall behind a sofa or bed
- Full walls in bedrooms and hallways
- Home offices, including walls behind a desk
- Alcoves, chimney breasts and stairwells
In a living room the plain surface keeps shelving and pictures legible against the wall. A bedroom gains a calmer, darker background for the bed, and in an office the absence of pattern means less visual noise in front of a screen.
