Description
What colours are in the Safari Gouache Stripes wallpaper?
The design sits mainly in two shades of green, a deeper olive and a softer sage, painted over an off-white ground with the occasional thin blush line running through. Green is one of the most forgiving colours for a room meant for rest, so it works well in a bedroom or a quiet corner of a living space without becoming tiring to live with.
Does this design look hand-painted rather than printed?
Yes, the stripes have visibly uneven brush edges, drips and gaps rather than clean machine lines, giving it the look of gouache paint applied by hand. That irregularity reads as warmer and more relaxed on a wall than a crisp, ruled stripe would, which suits a room where you want character without too much formality.
How wide are the stripes and how will they look on a full wall?
The bands vary in width, with broader olive and sage columns interrupted by narrower white and blush gaps, so the rhythm feels organic rather than mechanical. Across a full wall this reads as a loose vertical pattern that lifts the eye upward, making it a good choice for a wall with standard ceiling height.
Will the green look more intense once it’s on the wall than it does in a photo?
Yes, colour generally reads darker and more saturated once it covers an entire wall, because the surface bounces its own tone back into the room rather than sitting in a small sample. Expect the olive and sage greens here to feel a touch richer in person than they appear on screen, so judge the overall effect rather than a tiny swatch.
Is green a good colour choice for a bedroom or living room?
Green is one of the more forgiving colours for spaces meant for winding down, alongside blue, because it tends to feel calm rather than stimulating. This makes the stripe pattern a sound option for a main bedroom or a reading corner, where you want a wall that settles the room instead of energising it.
