This mesmerising wallpaper is sure to be a talking point in your home with its overlapping gentle wave design and glistening glitter highlights which are carefully dotted through the pattern.  With the rise in popularity of the feature wall earlier this year, the all four-wall wallpapered look began to fall out of fashion…. but not anymore!  The great news for all you wallpaper lovers is that, whether you choose to create a striking feature wall or whether you decorate all four walls, both ways of decorating are high in fashion right now!  This Orla Wave wallpaper is the perfect example of a design which can be used on all four walls to create a truly spectacular room design without being overbearing or too busy.  The beautiful design below is of one of the four available colourways for this wallpaper.

Indra Geometric Wallpaper

This Indra Geometric Wallpaper takes on the form of a more classic geometric design with a repeating metallic triangle and kite pattern overlaying a subtle glitter infused textured lined backdrop.  This durable, blown vinyl wallpaper can be used to create a beautiful and eye-catching feature wall in your home or alternatively, like the design above, be used to decorate the entire room.  The wallpaper is available in various colour combinations including turquoise, rose gold, silver and charcoal.  If you are wallpapering every wall in a small room, we would suggest using a lighter design as this will open and brighten up the space.  Alternatively, creating a feature wall with one of the darker designs will elongate the room also making it appear larger than it is.

Odette Swan

Saphire, silver and pearl are the three beautiful colourways that this majestic Odette Swan Wallpaper is available in.  With a large embossed swan design, elegant metallic elements and beautiful glitter highlights, this paper will bring a modern and contemporary style into any home.  The swans themselves are set on a lightly textured gentle waving pattern for added texture and interest.  2018 is all about bold, metallic wallpapers so this design fits right in to make a trendy and fashionable addition to your home. Two of the design’s colourways can be seen below.
