Large prints on wall papers in
Interior Design has become quite a craze since 2017. Mediterranean prints with
large flowers and deep colours are quite common. Nature based wallpapers are
much more popular as there are so many ways to adopt flowers. These prints are
majorly used in wall papers but have also been adopted in fabrics.
Flowered wall papers were more
common in the 70s and 80s in pastel colours but now pick up all types of colours.
These have further developed to geometric and abstract patterns for use in more
contemporary Interior Designs style projects.
With modern Interior Design,
flower patterns can be adopted as 3 dimension or 2 dimension designs.
Tropical Patterns
Tropical Interior Design is
largely characterized by deep pop of colours picked up from tropical forests,
flowers, birds, butterflies etc. Wall papers tend to have deep green colour
with bright orange, yellow or pink colours.
18th century inspired wall paper
In 18th century,
pastel colours and water colour prints were quite common. Wall papers inspired
by this era are floral with more subtle colour pairings. The entire landscape
as a whole can is captured however, part landscape with other elements such as
birds can also be included.
Contemporary adaptation
Contemporary designs have picked
up more abstracted forms from the flowers. Different parts of plants such as
leafs, flower petals, roots or tree bark have been used to make these designs.

H&H’s
Reiko Caron shows us how she turned an out-of-date bedroom into an edgy yet
pretty retreat for Kylie Miller, lead guitarist in The Beaches band. The
spacious room was featured in House & Home magazine in 2002, and hadn’t
been renovated since. Now, 15 years later, Reiko gave it a complete overhaul
with versatile furniture from Structube, choosing pieces that Kylie can easily
take with her when she eventually moves out into a condo. Reiko started with a
dramatic moody floral wallpaper mural, and then centered a glossy black
low-profile bed in front of it. As the room has no overhead light fixture, she
opted for task lamps, a marble-base table lamp and a modern black floor lamp. A
glass console table doubles as a desk and make-up vanity thanks to the arched
mirror above it. Reiko also created a chic sitting area complete with a gallery
wall, green velvet couch and a cozy arm chair. Accessories like a faux fur
throw bring in a Hollywood glam look, and ready-made drapery panels neaten the
open closet. Throughout the room, the combination of black, pale blush pink,
deep green and creamy white create a sophisticated vibe.
