Wael Turquoise
Also available in:
Waël Turquoise is an animal-motif wallpaper worked in turquoise against a multicolor ground. The motifs repeat across the width in a loose, even arrangement, so the design carries a whole wall without crowding it, and the turquoise stays the leading shade while the secondary colors fill in the detail.
Surface and finish
The finish is matte, so there is no gloss to pick up light from windows or lamps, and the turquoise holds the same depth in corners as it does in the brightest part of the room. The surface is textured, giving a fine relief that you can feel with a hand and that softens the outlines of the motifs when you step back. That structure also helps hide minor unevenness in the wall beneath. These are premium quality wallpapers. More designs in this color family are grouped under turquoise, and the full range of animals patterns is worth comparing before you decide.
Style and rooms
The pattern suits Scandinavian rooms built on pale wood, white paint and plain textiles, and it sits equally well in contemporary schemes with darker joinery or metal fittings. Because the color is specific, it pairs best with quiet upholstery and simple curtains; a turquoise cushion or a single painted piece is usually enough to tie the room together.
- Living rooms, including the wall behind a sofa
- Bedrooms, whole room or one wall
- Kitchens, dining rooms and hallways
- Home offices, bathrooms and nurseries
In a kids' rooms setting the multicolor detail gives something to look at without the busy repeat of a typical novelty print, and in an office it marks out one wall behind a desk while leaving the rest of the room plain.
French design meets German engineering, made entirely in Europe.
