Selene Taupe
Also available in:
Selene Taupe is a plain wallpaper in a single taupe shade, a grey-brown that sits between warm and cool depending on the light in the room. There is no motif and no repeat to align, so the wall reads as one continuous color from corner to corner. That makes it a straightforward choice for rooms where the furniture, art or joinery should be the thing you notice first.
Color and pattern
Taupe is a useful mid-tone. It is darker than off-white, so it gives walls definition and keeps a room from looking washed out, but it stays neutral enough to sit under almost any color scheme. Black frames, brass fittings, pale oak and dark walnut all read clearly against it. White trim and ceilings gain a visible edge. Because the surface carries no pattern, it also pairs well with a printed wallpaper on an adjoining wall or with textiles that already have a lot going on. These are premium quality wallpapers. You will find related options in the Solid range and across the wider Taupe selection.
Style and rooms
The design belongs to Minimalism, where walls are treated as background rather than decoration. It suits pared-back interiors with few objects on display, and it works equally well in rooms furnished more densely, since the flat color absorbs visual clutter instead of adding to it.
- Living rooms, including the wall behind a sofa
- Bedrooms, on all four walls or one alone
- Hallways, entryways and stairwells
- Home offices and dining rooms
In a living room the even tone gives shelving and pictures a quiet backdrop, and a dark screen mounted on it stands out less than it would against white. In an office the lack of pattern keeps the field of view calm during long stretches at a desk, and in a hallway the mid-tone hides scuffs better than a pale finish.
French design meets German engineering, made entirely in Europe.
