Design Focus: H2O

I am so excited to talk about H2O, a new design we introduced this year by Lanark, because it was so much fun to create and color! The wave and water trend started a few years ago and has not gone away. Designers are still using this flowing shape in hotel projects, as accents and in furniture design. I wanted to create a look that had a multicolor range of hues yet still felt very natural on the wall and very useable. I layered pearl, metal and matte inks to create a translucent and modern effect, giving the design a soft underwater feel.
