This alluring assortment of impressive faux textures and versatile surfaces are perfect to mix and match or use on their own. Varying print techniques and functional color combinations add dimension and visual interest beyond the first impression.
Boa is a rotary screen-printed snakeskin pattern. The subtle colors make for a great background paper and the bold combinations with metallic make a louder statement.

Haywood is a faux, surface-printed wood pattern features a thick raised ink that adds dimension and interest. A subtle background texture simulates natural woodgrain. Haywood is offered in 7 sophisticated colorways.
Carro is a cross between stone and an antique Italian mirror. The layered textures and metallic colorways give it an aged effect. Textural artwork was the inspiration for this faux scale pattern. The gravure print’s raised ink gives subtle texture and dimension.
