Seta wallpaper collection Nobilis

Seta wallpaper by Nobilis with a texture like woven silk

Seta wallpaper is all about surface, not motif. The French brand Nobilis drew inspiration for this collection from silk, and you can see it on the wall. Thin, irregular lines run horizontally across the full width, alternately a fraction lighter and darker. Up close you see a weave; from a few metres away it becomes a calm, solid colour field. In the photo it's shown in terracotta, tone-on-tone, so the texture does the work. A soft sheen catches the light, so the colour shifts with the incoming light.

The pattern in the Seta wallpaper collection

The collection consists of one pattern, and that keeps the choice straightforward. Seta wallpaper is a plain wall covering in which all attention goes to the horizontal stripe texture. The lines are small-scale and uneven in thickness, just as threads in a weave are never exactly the same thickness. This makes the surface look lively without a repeating pattern. In the corner of the room in the photo you can see how the texture continues over the protruding wall section. Only the vertical seams reveal where one strip ends and the next begins. The terracotta colour has a rusty undertone that stays warm, even in the shadow of the corner.

Combining Nobilis wallpaper with velvet, chrome and natural stone

The photo shows how Seta by Nobilis behaves next to distinctive materials. A chair in crushed velvet, olive green and mustard yellow with dark brown patches, has all the room it needs against the plain terracotta wall. The polished chrome of the floor lamp reflects the warm colour, and the light beige natural stone of the floor and skirting boards keeps the whole thing light. Such a calm background lets your furniture tell the story.
