Bold wallpaper for your home
Most of us these days have a least one room in our home which has a feature wall – and usually that’s with wallpaper. It has the capacity to enliven a room and even change our emotions. Here are some of our favourite bold wallpaper designs which are sure to stop you in your tracks.
Bold Floral
Now, what’s not to like about the striking, colourful luxury Romo Kansai Wallpaper? Representing flowers submerged in rippling translucent water, this is a dreamy wallpaper which would be perfect for a sitting room, bedroom or hallway. Calming and inspiring both, it’s available in Peacock (shown), Zinnia and Indium.
Big Impact
And talking of striking, if your first coffee of the day doesn’t waken you up in the morning then wandering into the sitting room and coming face to face with this bold wallpaper would.
