Stanislas Taupe
Stanislas Taupe is a plain wallpaper in a soft grey. There is no motif and no repeat to line up, so the wall reads as a single even field of color. The shade sits on the warm side of gray, close to taupe, which keeps it from looking cold under daylight or lamplight. These are premium quality wallpapers.
Color and pattern
Because the design is solid, the color does the whole job. A mid gray like this holds its tone across a large surface and gives furniture, art and textiles a quiet background to sit against. It also makes a useful partner for patterned wallpaper on an adjoining wall, since there is nothing in it to compete. If you are comparing options, the full range of plain designs is worth browsing, as is the wider taupe selection. The paper comes from the Michalsky collection.
Style and rooms
The tone fits Scandinavian interiors built on pale wood, white paint and simple lines, and it works equally well with darker wood, black metal fittings or linen upholstery. Gray of this weight is a practical choice for a feature wall, for the surface behind a TV unit, or for a whole room where you want the walls to stay in the background.

In a hallway the plain surface keeps a narrow space calm, and in a work room it gives shelving and screens a steady backdrop.
