Essentials washed linen wallpaper by Arte: washed linen on the wall

The Essentials washed linen wallpaper collection by Arte revolves around one idea: the look of washed linen on the wall. You see fine stripes and mottling, as if the fabric has been washed many times and has become somewhat weathered. Each pattern stays within one colour tone, from warm sand beige to old rose. This gives a wall depth without a motif demanding attention. Up close you see the texture; from a distance the wall reads as a calm surface. The Arte wallpaper in this range asks little of the rest of your interior.

Patterns in the Essentials washed linen wallpaper collection

Washed Linen wallpaper is the calmer pattern of the two. Fine vertical stripes and mottling, like traces of a paintbrush, form an even surface without a visible repeat. In warm sand beige to ochre it covers the walls of a study, where a black oval desk and a rust-red velvet chair stand out sharply against the soft background. The light from a high window and two oval wall lamps just brings out the texture. Doudeville wallpaper lays a large-scale check over that same washed-out stripe. Wide, faded bands in lighter and darker old rose cross each other, and one check covers roughly half the height of the wall. The design refers to the flax stalks in the fields around the French town of Doudeville after the harvest. Next to beige bouclé armchairs and a ribbed wooden sideboard, the wall itself becomes the focal point of the room.

Combining Essentials washed linen by Arte in your interior

Will you choose one pattern for all walls, or combine them? The Essentials washed linen wallpaper allows both, because the two designs share the same washed-out stripe. Use Washed Linen in a study or bedroom where you seek calm. Give Doudeville a large wall in a living room or hallway, where the check has room to breathe. Wood, velvet and bouclé complement the textile-like character of both.
