The Tropicana Wallpaper design is inspired by the tropical birds that started to appear in wallpaper and textiles during the 1700’s in France. Like foreign fruit, birds with all new patterns and colors were coming from all around the world inspiring artists and designers alike. Many of these new species were from tropical environments and seemingly exotic to the French socialites. Bethany Linz chose delicate fan palms, ferns and crested parrots. However, she wanted this design to be more modern so she stripped it of color, painting it in all white making for a more elegant and versatile wallpaper design
