8 Feb 2020
The go to trend in wallpapers right now is tropical wallpaper, and we love it at Audenza. I’ve always been a big fan of wallpaper as I do love a pattern, it gives so much more depth and vibrancy to a room. The top 10 tropical wallpapers we have picked for you is just a taster to get you into the mood, from dark and moody, to fun and quirky, to elegant and restrained. The choice is yours, but they are all wow!
1. Osborne & Little – Palmaria
The Palmaria wallpaper, by Osborne & Little, is a beautiful large scale palm leaf design in a subtle bronze and teal colourway. Perfect for adding richness and texture to a room. Named after the island of Palmaria in the Ligurian sea. You can almost feel the warm sea breeze!
2. Laura Hyden – Cheetah Wallpaper Mustard
The Cheetah wallpaper by Laura Hyden, for Graduate Collections is a richly coloured exotic wallpaper, perfect for those of you with a taste of the extraordinary. A pricey one at £125 per roll, but if you want to set a tropical scene well worth it.
3. Caselio – Jungle Palmes Wallpaper

Fresh, exciting and very Miami Beach meets tropical. Mint green and blush pink is very much on trend for the coming year, perfect for a bright breezy zing of colour. The Jungle Palmes wallpaper, by Caselio is £35 per roll. So not a bank breaker.
4. Bonnie & Bold – Banana Leaf
The Banana Leaf wallpaper, by Bonnie & Bold, is the striking option for those of you with a sense of adventure. It comes in different lengths and widths, and they also offer a bespoke service.
5. Emma J Shipley – Kruger Wallpaper
Kruger wallpaper, by British designer Emma J Shipley for Clarke & Clarke is another adventurous design. Shipley is known for her stunning designs that make a bold statement. I love the imagery of this one but if the orange is too striking for you it is available in a range of subtler tones. At £51 per roll it’s a mid-price range paper.
6. World of Wallpaper – Congo Geometric Wallpaper Pink Holden
The Congo Geometric wallpaper, by World of Wallpaper is beautifully rendered in soft pink and green with a rose gold trellis design. Exotic birds and lizards climb up the palm fronds for a hint of the curious. Also available in a matte black background for an intense and dramatic room scheme.
7. Albany – Flamingos

Fun, quirky and bound to bring a smile to your face. From the Albany Wow 2017 collection this is a steal at £18.98 a roll! It’s a vinyl wallpaper so a bit more user friendly than most.
8. Graham & Brown – Yasuni Midnight Wallaper
Intense, moody and full of drama for a bold statement. Yasuni Midnight, by Graham & Brown is a striking tropical wallpaper in luscious shades of green and blue on a midnight base. I liked the fact that they recommend paint shades to co-ordinate with the wallpaper, which makes matching up a lot easier. A good tip on the review section was to darken the ends of the rolls before unwrapping them to prevent white lines on the joins when pasting. At £40 per roll it’s in the mid price range.
9. Happy Wall – Palms Gold Cali Vibes 8 Wall Mural
A slightly different option here as Palms Gold is a mural from Happy Wall, so you order it to fit the size of your wall. A very large design that would be amazing for a big space. Such a sense of grandeur and elegance, a pared down design in calming tones of gold and white. But at £48 per m2 it’s not a cheap option!
10. Cole and Son – Palm Jungle
And last, but not least, Palm Jungle, by Cole & Son, in my garden room. I love this wallpaper more each day – for its sense of calm, for its beautiful tones of green, and for its ability to bring the outdoors in. What more can I say? And yes, I did pay for it (at £100 per roll, not cheap), so I am completely without bias here.
So, that’s our round up of tropical wallpapers for you, from Art Deco inspired to a fantasy world. Whether you are looking for the subtleness of waving palm fronds or a full on exotic animal experience there is plenty of designs out there. If you like a design but not the colourway then each design is available in different colourways, which dramatically alters the look. I hope this post inspires you invite tropical wallpapers into your home.
