Emma Hayes Wallpaper
Emma Hayes is a New Zealand artist and textile designer whose wallpapers behave more like paintings than pattern. Her studio works the way a painter does — hand-made marks, washes, pressed forms and photographic experiments — before anything is scaled up and printed, which is why an Emma Hayes wall reads as one continuous artwork rather than a repeating tile.
The range runs from the near-abstract to the botanical. Petals Pressed lays flowers flat against the wall like specimens in a herbarium. Botanic and Botanic Foliage draw directly on New Zealand's lusher landscapes. Bloom sends watercolour petals cascading down the wall, and is the design people most often order after seeing it above a bed. At the quieter end sit Sediment, Aurora, Daybreak, Dune and River — gradients and drifting cloud forms that give a room depth without asking for attention.
These are wallcoverings for rooms that want calm: bedrooms, entryways, the wall behind a bath, a long hallway that needs something to look at. Every design is available by the panel or made to suit your wall, and a $10 A4 sample will tell you more about the colour in your own light than any screen can.
