Vivianne Light Brown
Vivianne Light Brown is a plain wallpaper in a light brown shade. There is no motif and no repeat to line up, so the wall reads as one continuous field of color. The tone is warm rather than gray, which keeps it close to natural materials like oak, cane and unbleached cotton.
Color and effect
A solid color covers a wall evenly and leaves the furniture, artwork and textiles in front of it to do the work. Light brown is soft enough to keep a small room from closing in, but it has more depth than white or off-white, so corners and moldings stay visible instead of flattening out. It sits well next to cream, olive, terracotta and black metal, and it takes both warm lamplight and daylight without shifting much. Browse more solid designs if you want a quiet base, or compare shades within the light brown range. These are premium quality wallpapers.
Where it works
Because the pattern places no demands on the room, this paper suits whole-wall use as readily as a single wall. In a living room it gives shelving and framed pictures a steady background, and behind a sofa it adds warmth without a pattern competing with cushions. It is equally at home in a bedroom, where an unbroken color keeps the room restful.

In a hallway, a single quiet color carries from one doorway to the next and links rooms that are decorated differently.
