Theodoric Beige Gray
Theodoric Beige Gris is an abstract wallpaper worked in beige and gray. The shapes are loose and irregular rather than repeated in a strict grid, so the eye reads the wall as a whole surface instead of tracking a single motif. Beige carries most of the design, with gray marking out the forms, and the two shades sit close enough in tone that the pattern stays quiet from a few steps back.
Pattern and color
The abstract drawing has a retro character, the kind of free-form shape language associated with mid-century interiors. Because the palette is limited to two neutrals, the paper can cover all four walls of a room without the pattern becoming the only thing you notice. Up close the forms are clear and distinct; across a longer wall they blend into a soft, mottled field. Beige and gray also take on the color of the room's light, warming slightly under lamps and cooling in daylight. These are premium quality wallpapers.
Rooms and furnishings
Neutral ground makes this an easy paper to furnish around. It works with dark wood, cane, leather and brushed metal, and it leaves colored upholstery, art and textiles free to stand out. In a living room it gives a flat wall some movement without adding another color to the scheme, and it is a sensible choice behind a sofa, where the pattern reads above the backrest. Used on one accent wall, the abstract shapes mark out a seating or desk area.
- Living room walls, whole room or single wall
- Bedrooms, including behind the headboard
- Entryways and corridors
- Home offices and work corners
The muted tones suit a hallway, where there is rarely enough light for strong color, and in a narrow hallway the loose pattern breaks up a long run of wall seen mostly at close range.
