I'm sure you've noticed the explosion of colourful aztec patterns and ethnic prints that have been appearing in the fashion world of late. Well it was only a matter of time before this trend would spill over into interiors. We've had bold patterns in the past but these ethnic-infused designs are bigger and bolder than ever and are appearing on everything from ceramics to bedding. 

In the stylish bathroom above this ethnic print wallpaper makes a striking focal point in this otherwise understated bathroom creating instant drama.

The brave owner of this living room has expertly mixed solid bold colours against this silk Ikat print sofa for a truly unique look. Totally nailing the colour clashing trend aswell.

This boho look works exceptionally well in all-white contemporary spaces. The colourful patterned textiles really pop in this cool living space.
