Martinique Banana Leaf

The icon that launched a thousand tropical rooms. Martinique is the original, large-scale banana-leaf wallpaper—created in 1942 by illustrator Albert Stockdale for CW Stockwell and made famous at the Beverly Hills Hotel. Lush, hand-drawn fronds deliver transportive scale and instant atmosphere across living rooms, entries, dining spaces and powder rooms.

Good to know

• Order a sample to confirm colour and scale in your light.

• Due to the 54″ (1.37 m) width, seams are fewer but each roll typically yields one full drop on 2.4–2.7 m ceilings—plan roll counts accordingly.

• Professional installation recommended; use a premium, ready-mixed adhesive and follow straight-match alignment.
