You really don’t need anchors, flags or boats to create a chic nautical inspired room.
It is possible to evoke the spirit of the ocean purely by using the right colour palette and interesting stripes. Create a relaxed atmosphere for any room by creating a mood that is associated with the sight, sound and smell of the ocean.
With a simple nautical design, you can easily create the feeling that the ocean is never far away.
There’s something rather evocative about retro patterns. Seeing designs that bring to mind memories of days spent long ago with family and friends, of growing up.
The demand and appreciation of Retro patterns continues. Where new and young designers re-discover the old and reinterpret styles and colours from the past.
It is one of the only design genres that offers fascinating revivals of classic and vintage crazes. Giving the design world exciting new perspectives on what they think they know and like.
Take an alluring trip down nostalgia lane and bring it to life by using Retro design, be it wallpaper, decor, furniture or objet.
Enjoy the old in a new way.
Trends succeed each other rapidly but a good stripe is timeless.
A stripe design, be it broad or thin, multi-coloured or tone on tone, horizontal or vertical, will bring a timeless elegance to your decor.
We love using stripe backdrops as it gives one endless opportunities to create rooms with different styles. Whether you want to introduce a contemporary element, a favourite vintage piece or create something quirky, you can!
In the fashion world, stripes are always in style. Although from season to season they take on new personalities, a stripe is a stripe and it is worth wearing!
A stripe wallpaper is no different. It’s always a perfect decor choice.
Art, a word that means many different things to many different people.
We particularly love when art inspires wallpaper. When simple brush strokes are transformed not only into beautiful pictures, but used as inspiration for design.
Taking the art of watercolour painting and transforming it into contemporary wallpaper. Using subtle washes of colour, brush strokes blend effortlessly from one tone to the next, creating a watery and lively colour palette.
It’s quite an amazing feat to be able to capture this hand-painted and timeless mastery, in a digital wallpaper print. Designs that blend colour to perfection create a wonderful wallcoverings collection full of exciting wallpapers and extraordinary giant panel prints.
Warm up your home with earthly neutrals that range from bold colours to winter’s multi-hued mix of cosy and classic shades.
In both fashion and interiors, two of the four elements of nature : fire and earth offer the most colour inspiration this winter.
Colours like dark turquoise, Mali brown, terracotta, soft grey, sand, orange ochre, ebony black, warm greige, dark Mahoney wood , eggplant, ivory white, indigo shibori and a warm grey purple color. All of which bring a instant warmth and homely feel to any interior space.
Keep your home feeling warm and inviting as the temperature gets cooler outside. Decorate using rich, cozy colors to create a welcoming, relaxed look.
Ethnic doesn’t necessarily mean traditional. It is design that is inspired by authenticity and creating contemporary designs.
The designers of the Siroc Collection from Eijffinger collected moodboards with various themes in fashion and interior showing African designs. Having especially selected warm tones from several fantastic photo shoots, the sand of the Sahara desert, baskets made of natural materials, the Nomads wandering in the desert and modern designs from the North-African markets.
Last but not least, the beautiful textile African designs inspired them to create an overwhelming flower pattern. The final result shows an ethnic chic collection with a touch of Africa with beautiful warm colors.
Beautiful tangible patterns like natural grass cloth, a stripe reminiscent of a Berber carpet, bohemian flowers, a labyrinthine design and a block pattern with the appearance of a woven fabric.
The subtly shining patterns contrast beautifully against the designs with the appearance of clay walls . From mahogany and aubergine to Mombasa brown, turquoise, terracotta and from indigo to Sahara sand, gray clay and ivory.
An intense and vibrant collection, full of indigenous inspiration. Siroc adds an ethnic chic touch to your home.

Bringing alchemy and art to the world of wallpaper and design.
The creative exploration and mixing of 2 elements to create design and colour takes us back to Haidee Kramer’s (Founder of Dreamweaver Studios) college days where she created marble-like designs using the effects of paint and oil on water. This exact experiment can be seen today on the unmistakable Dreamweaver Studios Logo.
Today we see this same technique used in the quirky and trendy Dutch wallpaper company Eijffinger’ s (exclusive to Dreamweaver Studios in South Africa) new Reflect Collection.
These fluid and elegant designs are mesmerizing. Reflecting colour, combining matt and metallic finishes with textures. A technique and design that has definitely come full circle as trends do.
The tropical trend is everywhere , especially in interior wallpaper and home decor. A breath-taking foliage wallpaper, in any colour, can transform a home into an enchanting place.
Tropical and botanical wallpaper is also one of the most inspiring ways to bring the colour of the year , Pantone 2017 – “Greenery” – into your home. A fresh yellow-green that “evokes the first days of spring when nature’s greens revive, restore and renew”. What better way to bring “Greenery” into your home than a large scale botanical wallpaper.
Kids are creatures of imagination, happy thoughts and mischief. They possess a spirit of adventure that is so easily forgotten as they grow older.
We love the idea of creating spaces for them, inside their home and outside, that capture their interest and curiosity, and encourages them to be little adventurers.
From young world adventures to strong willed teenagers, the principle is the same. We want to keep them young at heart.
Kids decor has therefore never been easier. Dutch wallpaper company Eijffinger’s, Hits 4 Kids collection, gives you a backdrop to a fantasy world perfect for conjuring up stories. Walls that ignite images of monkeys swinging through the tropical rainforest, giraffes trotting jauntily over vast African plains. A curious owl turning its head, hidden deeply in the forest.
Dreams of being a ballerina, a world traveler, a farmer or even a pirate. Create a space to indulge in possibilties.
