BERKELEY – Schumacher Wallpaper
Design story
BERKELEY by Schumacher Wallpaper is a timeless pattern that effortlessly evokes the elegance of the 18th century while fitting seamlessly into modern interiors. Inspired by a magnificent silk velvet suit from the Colonial Williamsburg Foundation archive, this wallpaper brings a refined sense of history and sophistication to any space.
What makes BERKELEY truly beautiful is its intricate geometric floral pattern that repeats across a medium-scale design. The diamonds frame delicate floral motifs, creating a harmonious balance between structure and organic detail. The pattern’s subtle movement and fresco-like texture add depth and character, offering a visual rhythm that enhances both classic and contemporary decor.
The Straw colorway reads as a soft beige with cream undertones, perfect for brightening rooms with natural daylight. In the evening, the color deepens subtly, revealing the wallpaper’s matt yet slightly mottled texture. This nuanced surface absorbs light gently, avoiding glare while imparting a warm, inviting glow to walls.
