Totally Tropical

New data from Pinterest Trends shows that consumer interest in tropical-inspired interiors is soaring.

And while it might not be inspired by the Wham! mega hit of the 80s, Tropicana – a new wallpaper design available from the family-run Beautiful Walls – is packed with fun and sunshine.

Featuring punchy colours, striking greenery and a textured finish, Tropicana is part of the Metropolitan Stories II collection which celebrates different cities around the world.

Tropicana channels the luscious vibes of beachside cities in an explosion of colour and detail.

Tim Dixon, Managing Director of Beautiful Walls, said: "This design channels the likes of Miami, Honolulu and Havana, glorious metropolises that enjoy both wonderful city skylines and beach culture.

"It is a stunning, beautiful design that has a side serving of escapism. It’s everything you could wish for in a luxury holiday all encapsulated in a wallpaper design.

"This is maximalist design at its finest."

Pinterest Trends reports that searches for the term 'Tropical House' are up 70% this month – peaking at 100.

Metropolitan Stories II Tropicana is available in four colourways: Green, Pink, Yellow and Grey and is priced at £35 per roll.

It is available from beautifulwalls.co.uk
