Raffia Banana Leaves Wallcovering collection CMO Paris

Raffia Banana Leaves Wallcovering wallpaper by CMO Paris: woven raffia on the wall

With the Raffia Banana Leaves Wallcovering wallpaper by CMO Paris, you cover your wall with woven raffia instead of a printed pattern. There is no visible motif or repeat. What you see is fibre: horizontal threads that alternate between thicker and thinner, with lighter and darker shades mixed together. Up close you can make out each individual thread. From a few metres away it merges into one warm shade that gives the wall depth. Such a surface works especially well when your furniture provides the form and the wall provides the material.

The pattern in the Raffia Banana Leaves Wallcovering wallpaper collection

The collection revolves around one pattern: Raffia Feuilles de Bananier wallpaper. The raffia lies in fine, continuous strips a few millimetres wide, without a visible pattern repeat. The base is taupe, tending towards greige. Running through it are gold-beige fibres that catch the light and grey-brown threads that deepen the colour. Because the thread thickness constantly changes, small thicker sections form that interrupt the horizontal line without disturbing it. This makes the wall look lively while maintaining the calm of a plain wall. The mood photo shows how this works out: a white upholstered armchair with a pouf on a black wire frame, next to it a black side table with purple orchids, grey-green foliage and glass decanters. The texture stays in the background and makes those forms stand out sharply.

Combining CMO Paris wallpaper with dark floors and black accents

The Raffia Banana Leaves Wallcovering by CMO Paris suits interiors that rely on material. A black skirting board and a dark wooden floor anchor the taupe shade, while white upholstery and glass bring back the light. If you choose black metal or high-gloss finishes, you get a clear contrast with the fibre. If you want it warmer, combine it with wood, linen and a stack of books, as in the photo.
