Art Paper wallpaper by Elitis: paper that reveals the maker's hand

Art Paper wallpaper by Elitis shows what it's made of: paper, with torn edges, brushstrokes and sheets that overlap. The three patterns in the images each revolve around a saturated main colour: ochre on dark green, deep bottle green or an intense blue that fills an entire wall. Because the sections are irregular, a large wall reads as a composed work rather than a repeated pattern. In the photos the wallpaper hangs above grey tiled floors, next to rattan chairs and untreated wood. That's where the warmth of the paper really comes through.

Patterns in the Art Paper wallpaper collection

Izu wallpaper layers beige-ochre sheets in a grid on wide dark green bands. In each section there's a black-brown circle half covered by a light grey strip. Amami wallpaper works without a recognisable motif: overlapping rectangles in dark to bottle green form a patchwork where you can follow the brushstroke. Jima wallpaper places black contour lines on deep blue square panels, in winding strips that resemble island shapes. Okinawa wallpaper builds a geometric rhythm from many planes and colours. Osumi wallpaper consists of weathered squares that almost look like animal hide. Naoshima wallpaper lets go of geometry for a decorative motif of vases and female bodies. Tokara wallpaper, by contrast, keeps the geometric pattern light, in pale shades.

Choosing Art Paper wallpaper for your wall

Within Art Paper by Elitis the difference lies mainly in the motif. If you're looking for repetition and a clear structure, Izu is a good fit. If you want a dark wall without a visible pattern, Amami is the obvious choice. Jima gives you lines and a graphic accent. Because the sections are large, this Elitis wallpaper comes into its own on a wall where you can step back, such as behind a desk or next to a doorway.
