Mother nature will always be one of our greatest inspirations. As more people incorporate natural elements into their homes, nature-inspired wallpaper continues to be a favourite choice. But there’s one 2022 wallpaper trend that has a special place in our hearts. Wave wallpaper! And it’s not any type of wave print either. This trend is inspired by the famous Japanese art piece, Under the Wave Off Kanagawa.
The Great Wave off Kanagawa
Under the Wave off Kanagawa, also known as “The Great Wave” is one of the most iconic pieces of Japanese art. Although it was made in approximately 1830, Hokusai’s design continues to make waves in homes in 2022.
