Description
What colours are in the Orellana Tile wallpaper?
The design sits mainly in teal and turquoise with brown detailing and a cream base showing through between the tiles. Teal and blue-green tones tend to feel cool and settled on a wall, while the brown keeps the palette grounded rather than cold, which makes the mix easier to live with in rooms used daily, such as a kitchen.
Does the pattern repeat as identical tiles or a mixed design?
It's built from a grid of different tile motifs – crosses, florals, medallions and scrollwork – rather than one tile repeated edge to edge. Each square reads on its own up close, but from across a room the whole wall settles into a single, continuous patchwork effect.
Will this work as a kitchen splashback design?
Yes, the tile-grid structure reads convincingly as a tiled wall from a normal viewing distance, which suits a splashback or a wall behind open shelving. Keep the surrounding counters and cabinetry fairly plain so the patchwork carries the visual interest on its own.
Is this wallpaper suitable for a bathroom or kitchen in our climate?
Rooms that see steam and temperature swings need a bit more care in South Africa's climate. Letting the paper sit in the room for a day before hanging, and sealing the edges carefully, helps it cope better with kitchens and bathrooms that move between wet and dry than it would with standard hanging alone.
Can I use such a busy pattern in a small room?
Small, single-purpose rooms are exactly where a dense pattern like this earns its keep. A cloakroom, laundry or narrow hallway gets seen briefly rather than lived in for hours, so the layered tile motifs stay interesting instead of becoming tiring the way they might across a whole living area.
