Yvette Beige Green
Also available in:
Yvette Beige Green is a floral and botanical wallpaper that sets green foliage and blooms against a beige ground. The drawing is plant-based rather than geometric, so the repeat is easy to overlook from a few steps back, and the beige keeps the green from reading as heavy across a full wall.
Pattern and finish
The surface is matte, with no gloss, so the green holds the same depth in morning light and under lamps in the evening. It is also textured, giving the paper a fine relief under the hand that adds a little shadow to the leaf shapes and helps hide minor unevenness in the wall beneath. The style is exotic, with the plant forms drawn large and loose rather than tidied into a small repeat. These are premium quality wallpapers. If the plant motif is what draws you, the full range of leaf designs covers similar ground, and there is more in the floral selection as well.
Colors and pairings
Beige and green sit well with wood in mid and warm tones, rattan, cane and unbleached linen. Against white paint the pattern stands out clearly; against a second warm neutral it settles back. Brass or aged bronze fittings suit the palette better than chrome. Plain cushions and curtains in one of the two shades are the simplest way to tie a room together, and both the beige and green ranges are useful for matching.
- Living rooms, including the wall behind a sofa
- Bedrooms, whole room or one wall
- Kitchens and dining rooms
- Hallways, home offices, bathrooms and nurseries
In an exotic scheme the pattern carries the room on its own, so shelving and pictures can stay sparse. Used as a single accent wall, it gives a focal point while the remaining walls stay painted, and in a hallway the dense foliage stands up to a space that gets looked at in passing.
French design meets German engineering, made entirely in Europe.
