Yann Beige Grey
Also available in:
Yann Beige Grey is a botanical wallpaper in green, brown and grey. The plant forms are drawn across the wall in a repeating arrangement, with the darker brown and grey tones giving the leaves definition against the lighter ground. The color mix stays muted, so the pattern registers as a background rather than the loudest thing in the room.
Surface and finish
The finish is matte, which means no reflected highlights and an even read of the colors from one end of a wall to the other, including in rooms with strong daylight or several lamps. The surface is smooth, so the drawing of the foliage stays crisp and the wall keeps a flat, papered look with no added relief. These are premium quality wallpapers. If the plant motif is what draws you in, the full botanical selection is worth going through, and the narrower leaf patterns follow the same idea.
Style and rooms
The drawing style and the earthy palette put this design in vintage and retro interiors. It sits well with wood furniture, rattan, brass fittings and upholstery in olive, rust or cream. Because the greens and browns are subdued, the paper does not fight with framed prints, open shelving or a patterned rug.
- Living rooms, including behind a sofa
- Bedrooms, on all four walls or a single wall
- Hallways and dining rooms
- Home offices
In a living room the repeat gives a plain seating area something to sit against, and it holds up equally well as an accent wall with the remaining walls painted in a warm neutral. In a work room the grey keeps the scheme from turning too warm behind a desk.
