Dark Dining Room Wallpaper

Some patterns hit you instantly while others take a little longer before you begin to appreciate their wall-appeal and their general, and sometimes surprising, nuances. It was that way with this design.

I created it as a mid-century inspired pattern and always intended it to be a wall covering but my first attempts were not that successful because the overall pattern was darker than I was expecting. However, as soon as I paired it with the dining room set, I realised that it was a much subtler design that I had realised. Now, against the backdrop of that room, it begins to look so much better and so much more ‘at home’.

The colours used are quite simple, mid-century inspired hues of montella for the background and magnolia for the design.
