✱tropical prints
Super lush motifs have flourished in the home of late and we’re not quite ready to live without them. For 2022, if we’re unaccustomed and unable to travel the globe freely, we’ll turn our bathroom – the place where we have a few moments of peace and private time – into a leaf-filled habitat, a space that transports us into the rainforest with the simple swish and flick of wallpaper paste and a little imagination. Bathroom wallpaper has been coming into its own over the last few years and is now showing off its water-repelling credentials in all encompassing, wall murals that offer us wild, panoramic views as we take a long soak in the bath. They are also turning our daily shower into a tropical rainstorm. ‘We’re all a little bit like “children of the Blue Lagoon” and dream of taking hot showers outdoors on a deserted island!’ says Christian Benini, founder and art director of Wall&decò. ‘Now it’s a reality.’
