Graham & Brown's Wallpaper of the Year 2019
'Tori' Graham & Brown wallpaper of the Year 2019
Fresh for the new season and year ahead, Graham & Brown has unveiled this Oriental-inspired design as its hero wallpaper. It's bold move on from the soft metallics of 2018's magnolia pattern and 2017's geometric design.
'We have identified our Kabuki trend as a key design influence for 2019 and the Wallpaper and Colour of the Year 2019.' explains Paula Taylor, Colour & Trend Specialist.

Paula goes on to say, 'With a rich ancient history, entwining spiritual meanings, Kabuki-inspired this glamourous paper and colour. Both transform traditional art into a modern style statement.’

Graham & Brown's Colour of the Year 2019
Colour of the Year 2019 is 'Tiru'
Because feature walls are still very much a thing, Graham & Brown have identified a need for a co-ordinating paint. So, in conjunction with wallpaper of the year, there's a Colour of the Year 2019. Taken from the same palette, it will make decorating a whole lot easier.
Describing this deliciously rich shade of teal, Graham & Brown says, 'Tiru celebrates tranquility, good luck and longevity'.
