Yvette Black Green
Yvette Black Green is a floral wallpaper that sets green leaves and blooms against a black ground. The dark base pushes the botanical shapes forward, so the plant forms read clearly from across the room while the overall color stays deep. The two shades carry the whole design, which keeps it graphic rather than fussy.
Pattern and surface
The surface is matte, so the black ground stays even and does not pick up glare from lamps or windows. A textured finish adds a fine relief you can feel with your hand, giving the leaves a slight physical edge and helping to soften minor unevenness in the wall beneath. Because the pattern is drawn at a generous scale, it holds up on a large uninterrupted wall as well as in a smaller space where only part of the repeat is visible. Related designs can be found in the green leaf patterns, and there is a wider choice of floral wallpapers to compare against. These are premium quality wallpapers.
Style and rooms
The look is tropical and exotic, and it works with rattan and cane furniture, brass fittings, dark wood and plain upholstery in cream, ocher or olive. Against the black ground, white trim and pale ceilings gain contrast, and a single patterned wall is often enough for a whole room. Real plants sit well with it, as do simple framed prints in thin black frames.
- Living rooms, including an accent wall or the area behind a sofa
- Bedrooms, where the dark ground suits a headboard wall
- Hallways and entrance areas, including narrow ones
- Kitchens, dining rooms, offices, bathrooms and nurseries
In a living room feature wall it gives the seating area a clear focus, and in a hallway the pattern gives a pass-through space something to look at without needing furniture or artwork.
