The viral meme of the “sad beige baby” aesthetic has given shades of greige a bad rap lately. But a composition of taupe, tan, and cream needn’t be a snoozefest. Enter Dénudé, “stripped” in French, a collection for which New York designer Tania Leipold of Laine + Alliage recolored a selection of her most-loved wallcoverings in neutrals (vis-à-vis their original brights). The subtle botanicals and geometrics, in warm to cool shades of sepia and putty, are printed on handwoven sisal grass cloth for added texture and interest. Sad? No way!
