Sand on the Walls -- The Prettiest Wallpaper Ever

It sure sounds like a kid's art project. (And like something you definitely don't want on your walls!) But trust me -- the minute you lay eyes on York's new wall coverings made with sand, you'll forget images of scratchy bathing suits forever.

And not only are these wallpapers chic, they're also green.

See -- pretty and brainy do exist!

Take the Boxwood wallpaper, a geometric pattern with a metallic sheen that could easily pass for a David Hicks design (A British designer who pretty much ruled the 70s). I love a neutral with a little oomph -- and this definitely does the trick.

Or the delectable Seabury. Fern prints normally put me to sleep, but this combo of white sand on a deep blue background feels completely fresh. I'd love this in a bedroom with all-white lacquered furniture -- so crisp!

























And let's not forget about Lattice, a wallpaper that bridges the gap between bachelor pad–chic and a decorative yen. (Yes, there is something in the world of decoration that both men and women can love!)
























And for those lovers of all things organic, Cobble River Rock delivers with its amorphous pebble/giraffe spot/cloud design.
