Yann Bordeaux Brown
Also available in:
Yann Bordeaux Brown is a botanical wallpaper in deep red, purple and brown. The plant forms are drawn across a dark ground, so the pattern reads as one continuous thicket rather than a repeat of separate motifs. The red carries most of the color, the purple sits slightly cooler beside it, and the brown ties the two together and keeps the whole design grounded.
Pattern and finish
The surface is smooth, with no relief, which keeps the drawing of the leaves and stems sharp and unbroken. A matte look means no gloss reflects back at you, so the dark shades hold their depth instead of flattening out under lamps or daylight. Dark grounds like this one absorb light rather than bouncing it around, which makes the pattern strongest on a wall that already gets some natural light or a wall you plan to light directly. These are premium quality wallpapers. If the plant theme is what draws you, the full botanical collection is worth browsing, and there is more in this color range under bordeaux shades.
Style and rooms
The design belongs to country style, vintage and retro schemes. It suits dark wood, brass fittings, velvet or wool upholstery, and it works well with plain paint on the remaining walls. Against pale furniture the contrast is strong; against warm mid-tones the effect is quieter.
- Living rooms, including behind a sofa
- Bedrooms, on all four walls or one
- Hallways and dining rooms
- Home offices
In a feature wall it gives a room a clear focal point without needing much else on the surface. A hallway takes the pattern well because you pass through rather than sit in it, and in a work room the darker tones reduce glare around a screen.
French design meets German engineering, made entirely in Europe.
