home: trend [ bold wallpapers ]
Another summer where we see bold wallpapers as a strong trend with floral, geometric and tropical patterns appearing most popular in designs.
These bold papers can be worked in two main styling methods. Either in a minimally styled room with no clutter, few accessories and just using the busy, bold wallpaper on one wall; or embracing a more complicated, layered look that uses multiple patterns and colours on purpose with excess accessories to create a bohemian, eclectic strong look.

Big bold geometric patterns can be a modern or retro look. They sit well with clean white paint work and furniture as well as light woods like oak, beech or teak.

Mixing tropical and floral patterns is a beautiful strong idea. Colour match the colour tones but mix and match the flower patterns, size of illustrations and continue through cushions, curtains, throws and other accessories to bring together a vibrant look to excite the senses.
