Cream Wallpaper

How to use cream wallpaper

Cream is white with the chill taken out, and in a room that faces away from the sun it is the better choice: it keeps the warmth of an afternoon in the room after the light has gone. Most of the creams here are textures from Romo and Casamance, linen, silk and plaster looks, which give a plain wall depth and suit main bedrooms and living rooms. A cream ground also softens any pattern printed on it, so a floral or a stripe on cream reads as gentler than the same design on white. Check it against your ceiling white and your trim.

Where to start

Of the designs on this page, the ones ordered over the last twelve months, in any colourway, were Sandberg's stripe Magnus and Romo's Esai Seagrass; the most sampled were Argile and Casamance's Cinerea Leaves. Cream by style: calm and gentle, textured and grasscloth and limewash and plaster. Neighbouring colours: beige and white.

Can I get a sample first?

Yes. A4 samples are A$10 each plus A$5 postage within Australia, A$18 to New Zealand and A$35 elsewhere, sent by letter mail and usually with you within a week. Colour is the one thing a screen cannot settle, so we recommend it.
