Far from being relegated to the slip pages of dusty tomes or the back-street stationery shops of Italian cities, marbled paper is a textural trend making its way into our homes this season in a big way. It’s been seen across ceramics, wallpaper, fabrics and even lighting. And, thanks to a modern update – think bold hues or millennial pastels – it can be a great way of adding print to your home if you’re not the floral sort and yet are craving pattern. Here are ten pieces to buy into the marbled trend this month.
