Above: Abstract Aura

As a backdrop to a sleek kitchen, this feature wall injects creativity and a touch of artistic flair, elevating the kitchen from being merely a functional space to somewhere that invites visitors to hang out in.

Above: On the Horizon

This wallpaper brings a timeless elegance to any space and is perfect for a dining area, creating a sense of harmony and relaxation. The appeal of this design is in soft horizontal striped effect and the subtle interplay of colours imparting a naturalistic movement to the design.

Above: Modern Tribal

This wallpaper design draws inspiration from hashed-line pattern-making while incorporating elements of abstract geometry, resulting in a unique fusion of tradition and modernity. Despite the non-uniformity of the pattern, there is a cohesive sense of balance that ties the design together.

Above: Zulu Thread

The coral-coloured wallpaper in this smart rustic dining room is a perfect backdrop with its bold hue and abstract stitch design which is accented with shimmering gold highlights. The wallpaper adds a sense of luxury and sophistication to the eclectic vibe of the room.

Above: Gilded Sumi

This wallpaper is influenced by the essence of Japanese aesthetics, drawing inspiration from the simplicity and elegance of traditional ink brush marks. Shown here against a clean white canvas, delicate strokes of charcoal ink gracefully cross one another, evoking mindfulness characteristic of Japanese calligraphy whilst a gilded finish adds depth and movement.

Above: Water Reed Thatch

The overall effect of this wallpaper is one of understated elegance and organic beauty. Drawing inspiration from a harmonious arrangement of slender reeds stacked horizontally across the expanse of the wall, the result is somehow both random and orderly. We love this dramatically dark colourway against the glossy, black tiles of the bathroom.

Above: Fauvist Flock

Fauvism is the name applied to the work produced by a group of artists (which included Henri Matisse and André Derain) from around 1905 to 1910, which is characterised by strong colours and fierce brushwork. In true Fauvist style this flock of birds are illustrated with simplified shapes, painted flat and with dark outlines.

Above: Fern Fronds

This oversized, stylised botanical design is a great choice for a contemporary living space. Against the muted grey canvas, the delicate white foliage emerges as a striking contrast to create a living space that is at once luxurious and inviting.

Above: Dewdrops

We love the serenity of this wallpaper design which captures the tranquil beauty of dew drops in a painterly watercolour style. Soft brownish tones dominate the colour palette, with gentle shades lending a natural, organic quality to the design.

Above: Papier Colle

Papier collé is a particular form of collage. The term papier collé can be translated from the French to mean ‘pasted paper’ and describes an artistic technique where paper cut-outs are pasted to create a decorative composition. This Cubist inspired design of stylised foliage is perfect for creating an artistic ambience and focal point in the room.
