Violette Lilac
Violette Lilac is a floral wallpaper built on purple tones, with the lilac shades carried across a multicolor design of blossoms and leaves. The botanical drawing covers the surface rather than sitting in isolated motifs, so the pattern reads as a continuous planting across the wall. The exotic character comes from the plant forms themselves, which are drawn full and open instead of small and repetitive.
Pattern and color
Purple sets the overall tone, while the additional colors in the foliage and flower centers keep the design from flattening into a single hue. Because several shades are in play, the paper holds up next to strong furniture and colored textiles instead of being swallowed by them. It belongs with the wider selection of floral designs, and sits comfortably among purple wall coverings if you are matching an existing scheme. These are premium quality wallpapers.
Styles and rooms
The density of the pattern suits maximalism, where pattern is meant to be seen rather than softened, and it also works in simpler rooms used on one wall only. In a bedroom it is often applied behind the bed, which is where the headboard wallpaper approach makes the most of a large-scale floral. Plain bed linen, painted wood and brass or black metal fittings all give the pattern room to be read clearly.
- Living room walls, whole or as a single feature wall
- Bedrooms, including behind the bed
- Hallways and stairwells
- Dining rooms and home offices
In a hallway the pattern gives a narrow space something to look at, and in a dining room it works well above paneling or a painted dado. In a home office, keeping it to the wall behind you leaves the working sightlines plain.
