Martinique, the distinctive design, with its large, bright green leaves, was created especially for the “Pink Palace” in 1942 by decorator Don Loper. With its waving banana palm leaves, it is probably one of the most recognizable wallpapers in the world. Try it in a bathroom (don’t forget to paper the ceiling) for a touch of jewel box glamor. In a living, dining or bedroom, keep the rest of the look clean, modern and spare, as Brian Atwood and Nate Berkus do in their combination dining/living room.
