For this week’s Wallpaper Wednesday, I am completely smitten with the lush beauty of Mazy Path’s “Mangrove” wallpaper in Leaf Green.

Inspired by the magic and biodiversity of mangrove forests, this pattern feels like a dreamy mix of botanical wonder and early modernist art. The rich leafy green palette is fresh, layered, and full of movement which makes it perfect for adding personality and soul to a space. I especially love the hand crafted, block print feel that gives it such warmth and artistry. It is bold yet grounding in the very best way.

Inspired by the red mangrove tree, our pattern Mangrove celebrates the beauty and biodiversity of Mangrove forests

When Zora Neale Hurston described a hurricane descending on the Everglades in her masterpiece Their Eyes Were Watching God, she wrote that “the sea was walking the earth with a heavy heel.” While little can tame such violent storms, mangrove forests can soften their footsteps. These dense forests hug Florida’s coastline up through the Everglades and along the Gulf of Mexico, creating a phalanx between the ocean and the land. The most common mangrove variety, Red Mangroves, are known for their distinctive prop roots that arch above the water like flying buttresses and slow storm surges and tidal waves. Mangrove forests also provide homes for a dazzling array of animals. Many of Florida’s most iconic creatures, from the roseate spoonbill to the American crocodile, call mangrove forests home. Mangrove’s composition was inspired by Austrian artist Ludwig Heinrich Jungnickel’s 1908 frieze for the Palais Stoclet children’s nursery in Brussels. The frieze, entitled “Animal Paradise” depicts a pas de deux between animals and plants. As the shapes of flora and fauna conform to one another, they reveal the symbiotic relationship between the two kingdoms.

It also comes in a subtle ocean…
