Slideshow Mint Blanket Wallpaper by Renée Rossouw

Renée Rossouw’s South African heritage shines through in her bright, earthy designs. Working under Surface Design company Robin Sprong Wallpaper, everything is imported from Germany and printed locally.Mint Blanket is lightly geometric and would add a quirky edge to the kitchen or breakfast nook. The orange and mint color combination is surprisingly fantastic. $43 per three square feet. Photo courtesy of Robin Sprong
