Color advice Dotted Stripes cashmere: a warm natural room with calm walls
Stripes and dots can also be very calming. Dotted Stripes cashmere combines warm cream tones with cashmere brown and sand-colored details. The wall paint does not need to contrast this with a bold color. With a light base or a warmer natural tone, you create a room that feels soft, yet still has enough individuality thanks to the pattern.
Soft together, beautifully balanced
These 3 paint shades complement the combination from our children's room inspiration. Choose a calm base and only add an accent if it suits your room.
First, order a paint sample or color swatch of your favorite shade. View this at home next to a wallpaper sample, in daylight and with the lights on. This way, you can see which combination works best in your room.
Let the wallpaper be the beginning
The subtle color contrast makes this wallpaper a lovely base for wood, light fabrics, and personal items. In our inspiration room featuring vintage vehicles, the design forms a calming layer behind the wall decoration. You can also apply this idea more simply: a wallpapered wall, a wooden piece of furniture, and a single clear group of posters are often sufficient. The warm base does not need to be repeated exactly in every element. A small difference in shade actually makes the room more lively.

Which wall paint matches Dotted Stripes - cashmere?
LAB Spider Mum
no. 310
A fresh, light base that gives space to the pattern. Beautiful on the other walls and with plain bedding, so that color and illustrations reappear in a few deliberate places.
LAB Beach Walk
no. 415
A warm, muted sand tone for a natural transition alongside the stripes. Combine with a wooden bed and calm fabrics; a dark blue detail adds a playful accent.
Studio Day at the Zoo Dreamtime
A deep, greyish blue from Studio Day at the Zoo. Use it as a color accent with the cashmere stripes, for example on a cabinet or wainscoting. Keep the larger areas light for sufficient calm.
This is what your room can feel like
01 Start softly with Spider Mum
Give the wallpaper one clear spot, for example behind the bed or in a reading nook. Place a Spider Mum color sample next to the wallpaper swatch and decide which wall should receive this shade. With plain bedding and a simple wooden piece of furniture, the design remains clearly visible.
02 An accent that connects the room
Want to add a bit more color? Then test Dreamtime on a small wall surface or piece of furniture. Repeat the chosen shade in one or two accessories, such as a cushion or poster. Keep the other materials and larger fabrics simple, so that the different colors form a pleasing whole together.
Furniture, fabrics & small details
A natural-style room becomes more interesting through texture and form. Alternate a smooth cabinet with linen and a simple basket. Choose a distinctly lighter textile surface next to the warmer furniture. When adding posters, leave a strip of wallpaper exposed around the frames. This way, the fine dots remain visible and the wall forms a calm backdrop for the rest of the room.
Look first, then choose
Compare both paint samples next to the wallpaper sample and the existing floor. A different undertone stands out, especially in a muted palette. Place the samples upright in their final positions and look at them with the lighting on. Then determine which color will cover the largest surface area. A movable test area is helpful when two walls receive very different lighting.
A small start for your dream room
With a calm wall paint and a few warm materials, cashmere becomes a lovely base. Start with actual samples and discover at home what lightness your room needs.
