Monochrome Wallpaper
Monochrome wallpaper works in black, white and the greys between, and it has a sharp, graphic confidence that suits both period rooms and modern ones. Stripes, line drawings, op art geometrics and expressive brushwork all gain an extra clarity when colour is taken away.
Stripes are a classic place to start. Galerie's Style Sisters collaboration offers wide, medium and thin stripes in a hushed black against a gentle off-white, with a raised ink. Their Smart Stripe 3 is a wide stripe that can be hung straight, reversed or even horizontally for a wrapped ribbon effect.
For drawing and wit, Tres Tintas' 9 Selvas Mariscal is a delight: 1080 Cadires sends a thousand chairs, each sketched in a single unbroken line by Javier Mariscal, tipping across the wall, and Caras Tres crowds it with quickly drawn faces. Their Entre Luces includes Astral Bodies, large engraved discs hatched in fine concentric lines. York Wallcoverings' Carol Benson Cobb brings loaded-brush abstracts, and Diamond Legacy from Astoria verges on op art.
