Panoramic vision b y J u l i a Z a l t z m a n W e burst into the new year embracing a bevy of interior design decors, all lovingly perfected over the course of the previous year, and we are loath to let them go. From animal prints and textures to natural materials and shimmering metallics, we have invested time and money into getting the look ‘just so’, which is why one of the most exciting trends to emerge in 2019—panoramic walls—happily blends all of the above, as well as being both impactful and showstopping in its own right. bespoke hand-painted murals and decadent panoramic scenic wallpapers offer a unique decoration that is both luxurious and personal to the homeowner. Murals, whether painted directly on to the wall or papered, are a dramatic, eye-catching feature that can enliven decor and showcase personal character. ranging from panoramic vistas and scenic tableaux, to decorative chinoiserie and ornate motifs, the options for creativity and imaginative design seem endless. “Aside from the obvious resurgence of scenic wallpapers witnessed in recent years, the Zuber scenes have never ceased to charm the aesthetes of the world since the first one came out of the factory in 1807,” comments Zuber’s spokesperson. “Whether buying a set to cover all walls, or a few drops to use as a painting, the dreamlike landscapes will take you on a journey far from home, to your heart’s content.”
