Virgile Green Grey
Virgile Green Grey is a plain wallpaper in a muted green-gray. There is no motif and no repeat to line up, so the color covers the wall as one continuous field. The two tones sit together in a single shade rather than as separate elements, which reads cooler than a pure green and warmer than a straight gray, and shifts slightly depending on how much daylight the room gets.
Color and pattern
A solid color gives you a background instead of a focal point. Furniture, artwork and shelving stand out clearly against it, and the wall stays quiet where several patterns would compete. Because the green-gray is desaturated, it pairs easily with white trim, natural wood, black metal fittings and darker upholstery. It also works on all four walls of a room without becoming heavy, which is harder to do with a printed design. If you are comparing options, the wider range of solid wallpapers is worth browsing, along with the gray green shades in particular. These are premium quality wallpapers.
Style and rooms
The design belongs to minimalism, where color does the work and decoration is kept out. That makes it straightforward to use in rooms that already have a lot going on visually, and equally useful in sparse rooms where a single flat color is the point.
- Living rooms, including the wall behind a sofa
- Bedrooms, on one wall or throughout
- Kitchens and dining rooms
- Hallways and home offices
In a living room the flat color makes a good backdrop for framed prints and open shelving, and it works well behind a TV unit, where the mid-depth shade keeps a dark screen from looking like a hole in the wall. A hallway benefits from the same simplicity, since there are no motifs to break awkwardly around doors, corners and switch plates.
