Misia wallpaper

Misia wallpaper comes from Paris, from a house named after Misia Sert, the muse who drew Diaghilev, Ravel and Coco Chanel into her circle early in the last century. Florence Vermelle founded the label in 2014, and it belongs to the Casamance group, a French company with more than forty years in fabrics and wall coverings. That parentage explains a lot about how the designs behave on a wall.

Bleu Misia, the signature color in every collection

Each new collection brings back the house shade Bleu Misia. It runs as a recognizable thread through ranges that otherwise vary a lot, from quiet tone-on-tone grounds to patterns that claim a room on sight. If blue is the direction you are heading, our blue wallpaper selection shows how that shade sits beside other European blues.

Fabric lines translated into illustrative wall panels

The collections tend to begin as textiles: a fabric line is drawn first, then reworked for the wall, so pattern scale and material weight line up. Il Était Une Fois Paris grew out of the Madame M fabric line and is worked out as illustrative panels. Beauséjour is the airy one, Chère Vivienne the expressive one, Les Précieuses the ornamental end of the range, Doria the modern. The parent company covers fabrics as well as walls, so Casamance fabrics and Maison Casamance cushions sit naturally beside these papers.

Relief, sheen and European atelier finishing

Production stays in Europe, in ateliers with the craft the finishing needs. On the wall that reads as soft texture, a low sheen that shifts with the light, and relief deep enough to feel three-dimensional. Beside a window the relief does the work; under lamplight the sheen takes over. Papers with a fabric surface sit in our textile wallcovering range.

Matching Misia wallpaper to the scale of your wall

Panel work wants a wall you can step back from. Allow roughly 10 ft (3.05 m) of viewing distance and a panel design settles; give it 4 ft (1.22 m) in a narrow hall and detail turns to noise. Tone-on-tone grounds do the reverse and hold up close, which makes them useful in a powder room or stair landing. For scenic work on a larger footing, see our panorama wallpaper section.

Ordering Misia wallpaper at Selected Wallpapers

We carry a working selection from the current ranges and ship to the United States, duties and taxes included. Order a sample before you commit: color on a screen and color under a gray February sky are not the same, and the sheen only makes sense in your own light. For a much larger range from the parent house, start at Casamance wallpaper. Questions about repeat, quantity or a color match reach a team that has handled the material.
