nature, wall covering design trend

Adopting the latest wall covering design trends can attract and retain clientele, residents, staff and guests by creating a point of difference.

Leading the way with state-of-the-art printing technology, we are seeing more and more pattern and colour specified, with a move toward warm and comfortable spaces and fewer white walls. Tropical landscapes, art deco, florals, abstracts, Aboriginal designs… The options are limitless to make a statement in any given space.

Not keen on dramatic visuals and don’t want to go too crazy? We cater for all tastes, styles and briefs and offer a wide range of neutrals.

Top 6 commercial wall covering design trends

1. NATURE, NATURE, NATURE!

Representing the outdoors inside our buildings is by far the most popular design trend Materialised is seeing through their digital printing. Their Leading Designer, Brigitte Marlot says, “Think botanical scenic prints, foliage and large florals, all represented on durable wall covering.”

2. SCENIC MURALS

Scenic murals have found their way into our hospitality venues. As well as opening the space, they transport guests to faraway places unvisitable during the pandemic. Think Mediterranean holidays and tropical getaways. The Australian bush is also a favourite as well as colourful maps.
