Vivianne Brown
Also available in:
Vivianne Brown is a plain wallpaper in a single brown shade. There is no motif, no repeat and no border to line up, so the wall reads as one continuous field of color. Brown of this kind sits warmer than gray and darker than a cream, which makes it a useful background tone rather than the main event in a room.
Color and pattern
Because the design is solid, the color does all the work. Full walls in this brown close a room in visually and make furniture, doorframes and shelves stand out in front of it. Used on one side only, it gives a room a defined back plane without any competing pattern. Plain paper is also the easiest sort to combine: it can carry a patterned paper on the opposite wall, framed pictures in quantity, or nothing at all. If you are comparing options, the wider range of solid designs is worth working through, and the brown selection shows how far the shade can be taken in either direction. These are premium quality wallpapers.
Style and rooms
The look belongs to minimalism, where the color choice matters more than ornament. It suits rooms built on few materials: wood, linen, plain textiles, matte metal. Brass and copper fittings read clearly against it, and white or off-white trim keeps the darker tone from feeling heavy.
- A accent wall behind seating or a television
- Bedrooms, including the wall behind the headboard
- Kitchens and dining rooms
- Hallways, home offices, bathrooms and nurseries
In a bedroom the flat brown keeps the room quiet and gives bedding and curtains a steady backdrop. In a hallway, where walls are short and often interrupted by doors, a plain color avoids awkward pattern breaks and makes the run of wall look deliberate.
