Yvaine Blue Grey
Yvaine Blue Grey is a botanical wallpaper that sets leaf forms in blue against a grey ground. The two colors sit close together in tone, so the foliage reads as a pattern across the wall rather than as a set of separate motifs. Seen from across a room the effect is closer to a soft overall texture; up close the individual leaves are clear.
Pattern and color
The drawing belongs to the leaf family of designs, with fronds that give the print a tropical character without bright color. Blue and grey together keep the result cool and quiet, which makes this an easier choice than a high-contrast jungle print when the wallpaper has to cover more than one wall. Because the palette stays muted, the pattern does not fight with artwork, shelving or a strongly colored sofa. It comes from the Michalsky range, and you can see the rest of the designer's collection alongside it. These are premium quality wallpapers.
Style and rooms
The design fits tropical schemes and more exotic interiors, and it also works in plainer rooms where a single patterned wall carries the scheme. It pairs well with rattan, dark wood, brass fittings and plain textiles in white, sand or deep blue. Live plants in the room pick up the leaf shapes without looking repetitive.
- Living rooms, on all walls or a single feature wall
- Bedrooms, including behind the headboard
- Hallways, dining rooms and home offices
- Nurseries and children's rooms
In a living room the repeat gives the wall something to look at while staying in the background, and in a hallway the darker blue holds up well in a space that sees constant traffic and little daylight.
