Walls for Wildlife
If these walls could speak, they would tell a story of passionate design and conservation. Based out of the U.K., Newton Paisley creates wallpapers that are hand-drawn by conservation biologist Susan Paisley and made with recycled materials. They approach production with minimal waste or energy required and only use water-based, environmentally friendly ink, free from harmful chemicals. This piece of art also makes a statement for protecting land; for every meter of fabric sold, 100 meters of wild habitat is preserved through their collaboration with World Land Trust.
Starting at $331 per roll at www.newtonpaisley.com.
