Yann Beige Sable
Also available in:
Yann Beige Sable is a botanical wallpaper on a sand-beige ground, drawn with yellow, red and green plant forms. The three colors are used in roughly equal measure, so the pattern has clear contrast against the beige without any one shade taking over. The drawing style is illustrative rather than photographic, which keeps the design readable from across a room.
Pattern and finish
The surface is smooth, with no relief or woven structure, and the matte look means the wall reflects no shine back at you. That combination keeps the yellows and reds even under daylight and under lamps in the evening, and it suits walls lit from the side, where a glossy finish would show every ripple. Because the pattern carries the interest, the flat surface gives it a plain background to sit on. More designs of this kind are in the botanical collection, and the leaf patterns are a close relative if you want something simpler. These are premium quality wallpapers.
Style and rooms
The palette places it in country-style schemes, retro interiors and Scandinavian rooms where pale wood and white paint need a point of color. It goes well with painted cabinets, rattan, brass fittings and plain textiles. Keep curtains and rugs unpatterned and the walls do the work; pair it with green accents in cushions or plant pots to pick up the foliage tones.
- Living rooms, including an accent wall
- Bedrooms, on all four walls or just one
- Kitchens and dining rooms
- Hallways and home offices
In a dining room the pattern reads well above a low sideboard, where furniture covers little of the design. A hallway is a good use for it too, since the yellow lifts a space that usually gets no direct light, and the pattern holds up when seen only in passing. For a workspace, hang it on the wall behind you rather than the one you face.
French design meets German engineering, made entirely in Europe.
