'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.

The elegant design is sure to give walls the wow factor. Exotic bird prints and metallic finishes are both identified as key trends for 2019 by the in-house design team.

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.’

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'.

We've highlighted Eastern influence as a micro trend this year – and Tori's design would suggest it's going to be even bigger in 2019! Watch this space.
