Wallpaper Dropy Plain 294-5

Dropy Plain 294-5 scatters tiny drops in grey loosely across the wall. The surface reads as almost plain, which makes it a partner for a patterned paper and a background for a whole room.

The drops are small enough for the paper to stand in for a plain one, while the surface stays livelier than flat colour. There is no repeat, so the lengths need no aligning.

Enzo is the children's collection in the dandino range from ICH Wallcoverings, where drawn animals and simple motifs are matched with stripes, checks and spots so that the walls of one room can be put together as a set. The paper is non woven, carries the ECO label and is of the Easy Up type: the paste goes onto the wall rather than onto the paper, and a dry length can still be slid into place. The roll measures 53 cm x 10.05 m with no pattern repeat and a free match, so the lengths need no aligning.

The surface is washable, so fingerprints and marks come off with a damp cloth. Light fastness is very good and a sunny wall keeps its colour. The fire class is B-s1,d0. When the room is redone later, the old length strips off dry in one piece and the wall needs no new filling.
