Mulberry Wallcovering collection CMO Paris

Mulberry wallpaper by CMO Paris: marquetry logic on the wall

The Mulberry wallpaper collection from CMO Paris takes the mulberry tree as its subject and treats it with an aesthetic that recalls the art of marquetry. Veins and fibers turn into one visual composition, so a natural material ends up reading as a drawing. Structure and symmetry hold the design together at a distance, while the finer texture only shows up close.

Two reading distances on one wall

At roughly 3 ft (0.91 m) you see the individual veins and the subtle shading in the fiber itself. From the far side of a 15 ft (4.57 m) room those veins pull together into the graphic lines that set the rhythm of the collection. That double reading suits rooms people both sit close to and walk through: a stair landing, a dining room, the wall behind a bed.

How this wallcovering behaves in daylight and lamplight

This is a surface that changes with the light instead of sitting flat on the wall. Raking morning light picks out the texture, midday sun flattens it, and warm lamplight in the evening brings it back. A room with windows on one side shows more of that movement, because the light crosses the fibers at an angle for most of the day. In a space lit evenly from above, count on a quieter result and let the lines carry the wall instead of the shadow.

Warm, organic color and what to pair it with

The palette stays warm and organic, and the collection is designed to sit in modern and classic interiors alike, so it settles into a room with moldings as readily as a plain plastered box. Next to unfinished oak or a deep brown paint the graphic lines read as architecture. Against cool gray or off-white they read as texture and step back. When you are testing a scheme, our brown wallpaper and wood veneer wallcovering selections hold the neighboring tones and materials.

Ordering this wallcovering and judging a sample

Natural materials can differ a little between production runs, so order everything for one wall in a single go and compare the pieces side by side before hanging. A sample judged in your own room, at both of the distances above, settles it faster than any photograph. Send us your wall measurements and we will check the quantity with you.
