Casamance wallpaper

Casamance wallpaper comes from a French design house that has been creating wall coverings and fabrics since 2000. Casamance publishes furnishing fabrics, wallpaper, panoramic wallpaper and home accessories, and its designs reach American homes through official dealers such as Selected Wallpapers.

The appeal is restraint. A Casamance pattern gives a room character without taking it over, and the surface often matters as much as the motif.

The story behind Casamance wallpaper

Casamance works alongside its sister brands Camengo and Misia, and the house is present on all five continents, with its own offices and showrooms in cities including Paris, London and Culemborg in the Netherlands.

The collections are recognizable for the way design and material support each other. Textures stay understated and color ranges are worked out in fine nuances. Patterns hold their place on a wall without shouting. The result is design that does not impose itself, yet stays with you after you leave the room.

Materials and textures of Casamance wallcovering

Much of Casamance wallcovering is about surface. Some designs read as a fine weave with the warm look of linen or sisal, catching the light softly instead of bouncing it back. Isis shows how that works. Fine horizontal and vertical streaks run over a dark brown gray ground, and lighter flecks make the wall look woven when you stand close.

Other series have a plush, velvety look that deepens the color it carries and shifts as you cross the room. Some add a metallic sheen. In Kheops, thin gold lines trace a diagonal lattice of nested squares on taupe gray, small enough to read as texture from across the room. Palmyre takes a botanical route, with etched palm fronds in near black and copper over a mottled brown ground.

That range lets you go either way: a quiet plain as a calm base, or a bold motif or panorama for the wall that sets the tone.

Signature Casamance wallpaper collections

Below is a selection of the Casamance collections we carry. Most share an earthy palette, but each takes its own route, from stripes and landscapes to line work and surfaces that look like cloth. Casamance also designs furnishing fabrics for drapery, upholstery and pillows, so you can carry a wall color into the rest of the room with our Casamance fabrics.

• Exploration — landscapes from a Japanese garden to Tuscan walls and Lake Como, in ocher and rust
• Rayures — bands of ocher, sand and cream, plus plain designs with a linen texture
• Midori — five designs, from chinoiserie landscape and geometric patchwork to wood grain and mountain silhouettes
• Racines — drawn palms, tight geometric grids and fine stripes in ocher, sand and deep green
• Striato - Textures — blocks and arches built from fine parallel lines in sage, cream and beige
• Le Velours 3 — two plains and one ornament, all with a mottled surface that recalls velvet
• Panoramas – Les Intemporels — trees, grassy dunes and flying cranes running as one scene from corner to corner
• Mimbeau — the coast around the Bassin d’Arcachon, with shifting sandbanks, oyster villages and salt marshes

Where Casamance wallpaper works best

A powder room is a good place to start. The wall area is small, and a strong pattern like Palmyre has no time to tire you out in a room nobody stays in for long. An entryway or stair wall suits a panorama, because you see it from a distance and at an angle, which is how those scenes are meant to be read.

In a dining room, a landscape behind the table gives the room a center. In a bedroom, the woven plains hold a color steady without competing with the bedding. A small geometric like Kheops sits comfortably behind a sideboard in a living room or home office. Think twice about mudrooms and kitchen walls, where steam and scuffing are hard on textured finishes.

Hanging and caring for Casamance wallcovering

Depending on the design, Casamance is sold by the roll, by the meter or as a panel set. The product page shows which unit applies, and its calculator turns your wall size in inches into the quantity to order. For the designs sold by the roll, each roll counts as one American double roll. Our page on European rolls versus double rolls explains the sizes.

Order everything for one wall in a single go so the batch matches, and allow for the pattern repeat on top of your wall height. New drywall needs primer and a clean surface, since woven and velvety finishes show any ridge underneath. With richly textured designs, a professional paperhanger is worth the call, because a precise seam match makes all the difference.

Once the paper is up, keep the wall free of dust and wipe it dry or lightly damp, depending on the series.
