Stephane Light Gray
Also available in:
Stephane Gris Clair is a plain wallpaper in a light gray. There is no motif and no repeat to line up, so the wall reads as one continuous, even color. Gray of this weight stays neutral next to both warm and cool furnishings, and it shifts slightly with the light through the day without ever turning into a pattern.
Color and surface
A solid color covers a wall in a way a pattern cannot: it gives painted surfaces a competitor in depth while keeping the room quiet. Because nothing on the surface draws the eye to a particular point, furniture, art and shelving stand out clearly against it. Light gray also works well over large uninterrupted areas, where a busy design would start to feel crowded. These are premium quality wallpapers. If you are comparing shades, the rest of the light gray selection is worth going through, and the full range of solid designs sits alongside it.
Style and rooms
The restraint of a single neutral shade suits minimalism, where walls are meant to recede, and it fits Japandi schemes built on light wood, matte black metal and natural textiles. It also pairs easily with a patterned wallpaper on one wall, since it gives that pattern a plain background to work against.
- Living rooms, including the wall behind a sofa or around a TV unit
- Bedrooms, on all four walls or one alone
- Kitchens and dining rooms
- Hallways, offices, bathrooms and nurseries
In a living room it keeps the focus on the furniture and gives picture frames a clean field to hang on. In an office the lack of pattern means nothing in your field of view competes with a screen or a desk. Used through a hallway, one shade carried across every wall makes the space read as wider and more continuous, and it works the same way in a nursery that will change use over the years.
French design meets German engineering, made entirely in Europe.
