Wallpaper Riga 99632

Riga 99632 comes in a warm mocha tone where brown and grey merge like faded linen. An even dark wall of this kind suits a bedroom or a dining room, where the wall is asked for calm rather than contrast.

Riga is an even woven surface: a fine warp texture and a soft vertical sheen that imitates linen silk. There is no large motif here, so Riga works both across a whole room and as a quiet backdrop to one patterned wall.

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.
