Violaine Duck Blue
Also available in:
Violaine Duck Blue is a geometric wallpaper in duck blue with gold. The pattern is built from repeating shapes that line up in a regular grid, and the gold elements sit against the deeper blue ground so the outlines stay readable from across the room. The two colors carry very different weight, which gives the design clear contrast without adding extra hues.
Surface and color
The finish is shimmering, so the gold parts pick up light and shift in brightness depending on where you stand and how the room is lit. Under a lamp in the evening the metallic sections read brighter; in flat daylight the blue takes over. The surface is also textured, giving the paper a slight relief that you can feel with a hand and that helps hide minor unevenness in the wall behind it. These are premium quality wallpapers. If the raised surface is what draws you, there is more of it in the textured range, and the full set of geometric designs shows how differently a repeat can be drawn.
Style and rooms
The combination of strict geometry and metallic detail places this design in Art Deco schemes, with an ethnic influence in the way the shapes are arranged. It works with dark wood, brass or gold-toned fittings, velvet upholstery and plain painted trim. Against white or pale gray walls on the remaining sides, one papered wall carries the room on its own. The duck blue and gold pairing also sits well with black metal frames and clear glass.
- Living rooms, including behind a sofa or a TV unit
- Bedrooms, on the headboard wall
- Kitchens, dining rooms and hallways
- Home offices and bathrooms
In a dining room the reflective detail suits evening lighting and candles on the table. In an office the ordered repeat keeps the wall structured behind shelving and a desk.
