Texture & Textile

One of the most important aspects of our pattern creation is capturing authentic textures. While our wallpapers are digitally printed on thick non-woven paper, we place great emphasis on recreating the feel of traditional materials and techniques. It becomes especially exciting when we work with textile effects.

Here are two examples where we experiment with the sensation of two different materials and how this influences the way we simulate printing techniques.

The pattern on the left features a rough, grainy texture with uneven color absorption and soft details, emphasizing a rustic and tactile feel. The surface resembles coarse linen or jute, contributing to a natural, handcrafted aesthetic. The printing technique we aim to simulate here leans more towards weaving techniques like damask.

The most noticeable difference between the two patterns is the texture’s character, which changes the entire feel of the design.

The pattern on the right, while still retaining some roughness, is noticeably finer than the one on the left. The printing technique is block printing, with a raised feel and subtle differences. The color absorption remains uneven, but not as extreme. It’s the "same" pattern, yet the distinct qualities of texture and print create different visual and emotional expressions.

In this case, we proceeded with the finer texture and focused on capturing the essence of woodblock printing. We feel it enhances the elegance of this beautiful pattern. Meanwhile, if you look at *Home Grown Moons* (you can find it at the bottom), for example, we simulated weaving techniques and a coarser textile.

In the Sprited Forest wallpaper, we've captured elegance and nature with soft, muted color transitions.

The pattern below is called "Spirited Forest" and, with its intricate floral motifs of chrysanthemums and delicate foliage, captures the feeling of a peaceful forest glade at dusk. The style leans more towards Rococo, while the colors are softer and more nature-inspired. The medallions subtly vary, with none being identical to another.

Two of the patterns in our "Leafy Forest Entry" collection may seem similar from a distance, but as you step closer, distinct differences in texture and grain emerge, creating two entirely unique atmospheres. Myrtus Knots, the more textured of the two, mimics copperplate printing techniques, while Leaf Vine aims to replicate the same texture and printing style as Fawn's Meadow.

Compared to our damask patterns, these wallpapers are significantly more finely patterned. "Leaf Vine" in particular blends into the background with its soft transitions between motifs and its muted natural colors.
