Finding the perfect wallpaper need not be a swatch-laden slog, especially when your search stops in style here, with the latest release from Tāmaki Makaurau/Auckland textile artist Emma Hayes. Musings on the visual effects of water, reflection and light, they are Mineral (pictured — inspired by the gilded paintings of Gustav Klimt and crafted with gold leaf), Mirage (a metallic grasscloth that explores the merging of hues when light and heat are seen from a distance), Wave (which captures the essence of ocean currents and movement of air with a silver leaf surface) and Wash (watercolours evocative of summer rain clouds, with a pearlescent finish). And the effect? Striking.
