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.
3. ABSTRACT PATTERNS
Bold brush strokes and marble-effects, or more subtle, tone-on-tone, almost like weathered plaster.
4. SUBTLE TEXTURES
Subtle textures work well and some favourites in clubs include linen, silks, rattans and wood.
5. GEOMETRICS
Simple, linear geometrics are popular in one or two colours, sometimes with a hint of art deco.
6. CULTURAL INFLUENCE
Jimmy Pike and Robyn Caughlan are two Indigenous artists from Materialised whose collections present designers with significant cultural heritage detail.
Not just for walls
Think outside the box and use wall covering on bar fronts, reception desks and ceilings!
