Wael Gris Clair
Also available in:
Waël Light Grey is an animal-motif wallpaper on a light gray ground, with the figures picked out in several colors so the design reads as gray from across the room and multicolored up close. The scale of the motif stays modest, which keeps the wall calm and lets the color accents do the work.
Surface and finish
The finish is matte, with no gloss to pick up reflections from windows or lamps, so the gray stays even along a long wall and through the course of the day. The surface is smooth, without relief, which gives the printed motif clean edges and makes the pattern easy to read over a large area. These are premium quality wallpapers. More designs in this color family are grouped under light gray, and the full range of animals patterns is worth comparing before you decide.
Style and rooms
The pairing of a neutral ground with small colored motifs suits Scandinavian rooms built on pale wood and white paint, and it sits just as well in contemporary schemes with plain upholstery and simple lines. It works with painted or natural wood furniture, and it gives plain textiles and rugs space to register on their own.
- Living room walls, including as an accent wall
- Bedrooms and home offices
- Kitchens, dining rooms and bathrooms
- Kids' rooms and nurseries
In a hallway the light ground keeps a narrow space from closing in, while the motif gives the eye something to follow. Used in a kids' rooms setting, the animal figures give the wall a clear subject without the strong color that a room outgrows quickly, and the same paper carries over to an accent wall in a living room or behind a desk.
French design meets German engineering, made entirely in Europe.
