Wallpaper Florelle 99611

Florelle 99611 is mocha brown, the outline of the blooms a shade lighter than the ground and faintly lustrous. The warm brown sits easily with wooden furniture and brass without making the room too dark.

Florelle draws large magnolia blooms with a single fine outline. The flowers cover the wall evenly and on a generous scale while the ground stays smooth, so the pattern reads through sheen rather than colour.

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.
