Versace — Flora Green
Also available in:
Flora Green is a botanical wallpaper that sets green foliage against a cream ground. The plant forms are drawn large and fill the repeat, so the pattern carries across a wall as a continuous planting rather than a scattered motif. The cream keeps the background open between the leaves, which stops the green from reading as a solid block of color.
Surface and finish
The surface is glossy, so the leaf shapes pick up light from windows and lamps and shift slightly as you move past them. Underneath that shine the wallpaper is textured, giving the pattern a raised relief you can feel with your hand and adding a second level of detail at close range. The relief also breaks up light rather than reflecting it evenly, which helps on walls that are not perfectly flat. These are premium quality wallpapers. If the plant theme is what draws you, the full botanical selection covers everything from small sprigs to dense growth, and the closely related leaf designs are worth comparing side by side.
Style and rooms
The green-on-cream combination puts this design in tropical schemes and in exotic interiors built on rattan, dark wood and brass. It also works in plainer rooms as a single papered wall, with the remaining walls painted in a neutral close to the cream ground. Woven blinds, linen cushions and plants in terracotta pots sit easily with it; busy patterned textiles do not.
- Living room walls, including behind a sofa
- Bedrooms and nurseries
- Kitchens, dining rooms and bathrooms
- Hallways and home offices
In a living room the scale of the leaves suits a long wall where the pattern has room to repeat. In a hallway the glossy surface makes the most of limited daylight and gives a short stretch of wall something to look at.
French design meets German engineering, made entirely in Europe.
