Design story
PLUMES by Schumacher is a captivating wallpaper that channels the exuberance and elegance of the 1930s. Originally designed by the legendary Paul Poiret exclusively for Schumacher, this pattern evokes a sense of whimsical luxury and vintage glamour, perfectly suited for those who appreciate timeless style with a playful edge.
What makes PLUMES truly beautiful is its dynamic motif of swirling ostrich feathers. The design balances movement and grace with the use of sweeping, fluid lines that create a sense of lightness and rhythm. The scale of the feathers is thoughtfully arranged to allow generous negative space, giving the pattern an airy and sophisticated presence without overwhelming the room.
The colorway, known as CHAMPAGNE, features a nuanced palette of beige, gray, and soft light brown tones layered over a delicately textured background. In daylight, these hues read as warm and inviting, subtly shifting with natural light to reveal the wallpaper’s understated sheen. By evening, the gentle shimmer of the texture adds depth and a quiet glow, enhancing the wallpaper’s elegant character.
