Jungle Fever

23 April 2013 by Carolina Engman

Martinique banana leaf wallpaper via Elle Decor

BANANAS. Lately I’ve been completely obsessed with jungle prints and in particular Hinson’s Martinique print pictured above. It originated in 1942 as a wallpaper in the iconic Beverly Hills hotel and has since reached somewhat of a cult status among celebrities and interior design junkies. I dream of using it in my livingroom (love the bold statement it makes in Nate Berkus + Brian Attwood’s place above!) or to spice up a bathroom (see below), but until then these stunning Martinique inspired pillows I bought last week will do the trick!

I’ve always love how jungle print brings people the fresh and nice atmosphere, and how it inspired the fashion industry! :)

Weirdly, I like this print on clothes, and on accessories, but not on the wall (it´s too much)!

MissIN on 23 April 2013 at 8:43 said:

wow.. the wall looks so funky! Sometimes really life-like too.

If you like wall-designs, you should check out some of these really beautiful Wall decal stickers I came across yesterday on Amazon:

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Removable-Vinyl-Sticker-Mural-Decal/dp/B005MDV1NK/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1366699267&sr=8-1&keywords=wall+decal

p.s. they’re also really cheap! Be warned: they are difficult and time-consuming to put up though (I read the user reviews).

Love the fashion blogs you have, and the interior design ideas :)

XOXO

I’ve been noticing the jungle pattern on clothing for a quick second and I think it’s a fun pattern for summer but I can’t help but think of Blanche’s bedroom wallpaper from ‘Golden Girls’. Anyone else with me on that?
