Stephane Creme Legere
Also available in:
Stephane Creme Legere is a plain wallpaper in a light cream shade. There is no motif and no repeat to line up, so the wall reads as one continuous surface of color. The tone is warm rather than stark, which keeps it softer than a white paint while still working as a neutral background.
Color and pattern
A solid wall covering does a different job than a patterned one. It sets the color of the room and then stays out of the way, which matters when the furniture, artwork or textiles are already doing the visual work. Cream shifts noticeably with the light through the day, looking paler near a window and deeper in corners, and that small variation is what stops a single-color wall from looking flat. It sits well next to wood tones, black metal fixtures and other muted colors, and it gives framed pictures a quiet ground to hang against. These are premium quality wallpapers. If you are comparing options, the full range of solid designs and the other shades of cream are both worth looking through.
Style and rooms
The restraint here suits minimalism, where the wall is meant to be a surface rather than a feature. It also works as a companion to a patterned wallpaper on one wall, since a plain cream keeps the remaining three from competing.
- Living rooms, including a full four-wall treatment
- Bedrooms, hallways and dining rooms
- Kitchens, bathrooms and nurseries
- Home offices and study corners
In a living room it works behind shelving and seating without adding visual noise, and in an office the even color keeps a desk wall free of distraction. A bedroom is another straightforward use, since the shade stays calm in low evening light.
