Stephane Greige
Also available in:
Stephane Greige is a plain wallpaper in beige with gray in the mix, so the color lands somewhere between warm and cool. There is no motif and no repeat to line up, which means the wall reads as a single even field of color from corner to corner.
Color and pattern
Beige carries the warmth here and the gray keeps it from turning yellow, which is what makes the shade easy to match with white trim and darker floors alike. Because the design is solid, it behaves more like a painted surface than a patterned one, and it gives artwork, shelves and mirrors a quiet background to sit against. It also sidesteps the usual problem with plain paint, in that the color arrives consistent rather than depending on how the roller was worked. If you are comparing options, the full range of solid designs is worth browsing, along with the other wallpapers in beige. These are premium quality wallpapers.
Style and rooms
The look belongs to minimalism: one color, no ornament, nothing that competes for attention. It suits rooms furnished with clean-lined pieces, and it works equally well as a neutral backdrop in a scheme where the furniture or textiles do the talking. Use it on all four walls, or pair it with a patterned paper on a single wall and let this one carry the rest.
- Living rooms and dining rooms
- Bedrooms and nurseries
- Kitchens and bathrooms
- Hallways and home offices
In a living room the even tone keeps a busy wall of frames or a full bookcase from looking crowded. In a hallway, where there is rarely space to appreciate a large pattern, the plain surface makes the passage feel wider than a figured paper would. It is also a practical choice for a bedroom, since the neutral gray-beige stays restful and does not date as tastes in pattern change.
French design meets German engineering, made entirely in Europe.
