don’t ask me why, but as i was writing this post, that song midnight at the oasis popped into my head and would not depart. i’d been wanting to do a post about these exotic wallpaper prints and murals i keep seeing popping up all over the place and they do project an ‘oasis’ kind of vibe — so that’s my only explanation: my subconscious simply started humming that tune. but i digress — i love the look of these wild prints and had i the perfect powder room i could see plastering up one of these beauties. they’d also look great behind a bed, as a rather exotic looking headboard. you can source exotic murals of all kinds at ananbo and justina blakeney has her own take on the modern palm available at hygge and west. then of course, there’s the timeless classic banana leaf motif of the Martinique wallpaper of the beverly hills hotel fame. these prints almost make you feel as though you’re on a tropical holiday, and yet you’re simply vacationing in your very own home.
