Wallpaper Uzu 99562

Uzu 99562 is cream and thoroughly calm: the swirls sit almost tone on tone with the ground and come out only through the sheen. A good choice when you want movement on the wall but not colour.

Uzu means whirlpool in Japanese, and the pattern behaves exactly that way: circular brush strokes turn across the width of the roll and flow into one another. The eye finds no single motif, which is why Uzu also suits a large unbroken surface.

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.
