EMPIRE – Schumacher Wallpaper
Design story
The EMPIRE pattern by Schumacher Wallpaper brings a fresh, refined energy to interiors, blending classic influences with a smart, modern twist. Inspired by traditional stripe and basketweave motifs, it evokes a sense of timeless elegance while fitting effortlessly into contemporary living spaces.
What sets this design apart is its subtle complexity. The geometric motifs alternate in vertical shapes that create a rhythmic movement, balanced by generous negative space. The interplay of light and slender lines adds a graceful sophistication, making it an ideal backdrop that adds character without overwhelming.
The BLUE CHARM colorway enhances the pattern’s quiet luxury with soft light blue and cream tones, accented by thin gold diagonal lines. In daylight, the palette feels airy and fresh, while in evening light, the gold accents catch a warm glow. The wallpaper’s finish offers a gentle sheen that compliments its delicate texture, adding depth and dimension to any room.
