Yann Green Blue
Yann Green Blue is a botanical wallpaper set on a white and cream ground, with leaf and stem shapes drawn in green, blue, yellow and gray. The colors stay in the same mid range, so the pattern holds together as one design instead of splitting into separate bright spots. Read from across a room, the white base carries most of the surface and the plant forms sit on it at regular intervals.
Pattern and finish
The surface is smooth, with no relief under the hand, and the look is matte. Without any sheen, the greens and blues keep the same value whether a wall faces a window or sits in shade, and side light will not pick out seams the way it does on a glossy face. A smooth face also keeps the drawn edges of the leaves crisp, which matters on a pattern this linear. These are premium quality wallpapers. More designs of this kind are grouped in the botanical range, and the narrower leaf patterns are worth comparing before you decide.
Style and rooms
The drawing style and color mix belong to farmhouse schemes, with clear overlap into vintage interiors and retro rooms. It goes with painted wood, rattan, brass hardware and plain woven textiles. Keep upholstery and curtains solid, since the walls already carry the pattern.
- Living rooms, including a single accent wall
- Bedrooms, where the white ground keeps the room light
- Dining rooms and hallways
- Home offices and work corners
In a living room the pale ground stops the pattern from closing the space in, and in a dining room the green and blue give a plain table and chairs something to sit against.
