Ulrike Light Grey
Ulrike Light Grey is a plain wallpaper in a light shade of gray. There is no motif and no repeat to line up, so the color runs evenly from wall to wall and reads as a single continuous surface. The tone is neutral rather than cool or warm, which means it sits quietly next to white trim, natural wood and darker painted joinery alike.
Color and use
A gray this light behaves differently depending on the daylight a room gets: it stays soft and pale in bright rooms and turns slightly deeper where light is limited. Because nothing competes for attention, the wall works as a background for pictures, shelving, textiles and furniture with a strong outline. It also pairs well with a patterned wallpaper on an adjacent wall, since a solid color gives the pattern somewhere to stop. These are premium quality wallpapers.
Styles and rooms
The plain gray suits Scandinavian rooms built on pale floors and simple furniture, and it fits equally into Japandi schemes where low furniture and restrained color do the work. In boho chic interiors it holds rattan, woven baskets and layered textiles together without adding another pattern to the mix, and in minimal rooms it is simply the quietest option available.
- Living rooms, including an accent wall or the wall behind a sofa
- Bedrooms, on all four walls or just behind the headboard
- Kitchens and dining rooms
- Hallways, entryways and home offices
In a hallway the light tone keeps a narrow space from closing in, and in an office the unpatterned surface stays easy to look at behind a screen for long stretches.
