Description
What colours are in this wallpaper?
The design sits on a warm taupe-grey ground, with deep charcoal and bottle green foliage and warm cream highlights in the flowers and plumage. A small amount of near-black in the cockatoo and crane markings anchors the palette, which helps the softer greens and creams around it read cleaner rather than muddy.
Will this wallpaper make my room feel dark?
It reads as a moody, mid-to-dark design rather than a true dark wallpaper, since the taupe background keeps some light bouncing around the room. On a feature wall it can soften the hard line where wall meets corner, which often makes a smaller room feel considered rather than cramped.
Is the pattern big or small scale?
The birds and leaves are drawn at a generous size, so each repeat reads as a scene rather than a texture. From across a living or dining room you will clearly make out the cranes and cockatoo, which makes this a good choice for a wall you want to anchor a space rather than recede into the background.
How do I deal with corners when hanging this pattern?
Since most rooms are not perfectly square, wrapping this pattern around an internal corner in a single piece tends to crease and distort the birds and leaves. It hangs better to cut the paper at the corner and overlap slightly, which keeps the motifs looking crisp on both walls.
Should I match my skirting boards to this wallpaper?
You can go either way depending on the look you want. Painting the skirting and architrave in a contrasting tone frames the papered wall like a picture, while painting them to match the wall lets the pattern run as one uninterrupted plane from floor to ceiling.
