Ulrike Brown
Also available in:
Ulrike Brown is a plain wallpaper in a single brown shade. There is no motif, no repeat and no direction to line up, so the wall reads as one continuous field of color. Brown sits on the warm side of neutral, which keeps a room from looking stark the way a cool gray can, while still staying quiet enough to act as a background.
Color and pattern
Because the design is unpatterned, the color does all the work. Brown holds its own next to wood, leather and woven textiles, and it gives darker furniture something to sit against instead of disappearing into white paint. It also makes a good partner for a patterned rug, framed prints or open shelving, since nothing on the wall competes for attention. Used across all four walls it makes a room feel enclosed and settled; used on one wall only it marks out a zone without dividing the space. These are premium quality wallpapers. If you are comparing shades, the full range of brown wallpapers is worth going through, and the wider selection of solid designs shows how differently a single color can behave from room to room.
Style and rooms
The look is minimalist: one color, clean walls, nothing to date. That makes it easy to pair with simple furniture and to keep in place while the rest of the room changes.
- Living rooms, including behind a sofa
- Bedrooms and dining rooms
- Kitchens, hallways and bathrooms
- Home offices and reading corners
In a living room it works well as a single accent wall, with the remaining walls left pale. A narrow hallway benefits from the lack of pattern, since there are no lines to be interrupted by doors and frames. In a home office the even surface keeps the field of view calm behind a monitor or a desk.
French design meets German engineering, made entirely in Europe.
