Subtexta wallpaper collection Inkiostro Bianco

Subtexta wallpaper by Inkiostro Bianco: murals in line and paint

Subtexta wallpaper consists of wall-filling images in which fine line drawings lie over a weathered, painted background. There is no repeating pattern. Each design runs as one continuous work across your wall. Sometimes the lines form poppies, thistles or cranes. Other times they are scratches and brushstrokes without a recognisable shape. The colours range from burgundy red with gold to pale pink on black. A room with Subtexta by Inkiostro Bianco reads more like a gallery than a papered wall.

Patterns in the Subtexta wallpaper collection

Amarantha wallpaper lays poppies, buds and hummingbirds in gold-coloured outlines over fields of olive, ochre and burgundy red, like a weathered fresco. Orphica wallpaper reverses the colours: pale pink lines with silvery speckles draw peony-like flower heads, thistles and cranes on near-black. In Lunaria wallpaper small birds hide in a thicket of thistles, and Sylvae wallpaper sets feathery sprigs beneath a network of craquelure lines. If you are looking for something abstract, take a look at Oceanica wallpaper, where black scratches and splatters run over gold-beige with touches of dark green here and there. Abyssus wallpaper and Silentia wallpaper work with cross-hatching, broad brushstrokes and areas with a crumpled metal-leaf effect. Primordia wallpaper works with pebble shapes and strings of beads. Mystica wallpaper lays down angular planes with a marble texture and craquelure veins, with fine line drawings of flowers and leaves in between. Nigredo wallpaper stacks leaves, shells and fans in undulating outlines on a marbled background. In Notturnia wallpaper faces with round eyes and wavy strands emerge from a web of lines over gold and petrol blue. Verdantis wallpaper layers silhouettes of palm and monstera leaves, with light lines that shimmer with a metallic sheen.

Inkiostro Bianco wallpaper in the living room, hallway and alcove

The lifestyle images show how differently these murals turn out. Amarantha fills a living room behind a brown leather lounge chair and an arc lamp, and the warm red ties in with the wooden window frame. Oceanica sits in a hallway beside wooden slats and concrete steps, beneath a skylight. Orphica gives a lit alcove a dark back wall, with ceramics on a metal plinth in front. Whether you choose botanical or abstract, the wall becomes the focal point of the room.
