Wallpaper Capraia 99572

Capraia 99572 is blue-grey and silver, the transitions as cool as winter ice. The only cold shade in the range, and a good fit for a hallway or a grey-toned interior.

Capraia recalls a cut face of polished agate: broad veined waves edged with a fine glittering grain. The pattern is large and painterly, so a single wall is enough to give the room a clear centre.

Lustro is a Holden Decor collection built around light: pearlescent inks, a glass bead surface and velvety flock printing shift the shade of the wall depending on where the light falls. The base is non-woven and the paper is Easy Up, so the paste goes on the wall rather than on the roll. A roll measures 53 cm × 10.05 m, the pattern repeat is 64 cm and lengths are hung with a 32 cm offset.

While it is being hung the surface takes a damp cloth, so paste marks can be wiped off straight away. Lightfastness is very good, and the old covering later strips off the wall dry and in one piece, with no need to skim the surface again.
