1 ART HISTORY
Artist David Palmer’s vinyl Biosphere covering layers painted and line-drawn cherry blossoms, charting how artworks evolve from sketch to canvas. The nature inspired wallpaper pattern’s base layer nods to earlier masterpieces by mimicking the peeled look of aging Italian frescoes. From $15/sq ft, online at rollout.ca
2 BACK TO THE FUTURE
Slanted rectangular blocks resemble flying cars on Osborne & Little’s Picasso-inspired Cubiste design by Kit Miles. Simultaneously retro and futuristic, the digitally printed covering is available in three colourways. $894/bolt, at Primetime Paints & Paper
3 SOLAR FLARE
Designed by Christian Benini, Wall & Deco’s washed-out Burlington pattern emulates the effect of mid-afternoon sunshine. The centre’s barely detectable diamond motif becomes more pronounced toward the corners. $20/sq ft, at Radform
4 MARINE LIFE
Get up close to some oceanic critters – no scuba mask required. This Ernest print by Abnormals Anonymous features rows of illustrated seahorses. Shown in a murky blue-grey, the nature inspired wallpaper pattern is also available in three other palettes. $190/yd, at NewWall
5 GEM QUEST
German designer Lars Contzen’s tessellated Distorsion print trims grey triangles of various sizes and shades in glam gold for a trippy kaleidoscope look. Use it on a bold feature wall to proclaim your love of black jewels. $100/roll, at Are & Be
