In its relatively short lifespan so far, Mindthegap has produced a varied and multi-faceted set of wallpapers. Each year a new collection with a different theme is added. The most iconic motifs the brand is famous for are its oriental and tropical designs as well as those depicting animals and imitations of materials.
Tropical and botanical
The topic of nature is behind some of the most popular and celebrated wallpapers produced by Mindthegap over the last few years. Whether being inspired by the beautiful green mountains of Transylvania or exploring lush tropical paradises reminiscent of faraway lands, the immaculate drawings and attention to detail truly bring the outdoor inside.
Oriental
Never shy to tap into its multicultural heritage, Mindthegap takes cues from visual traditions from all over the planet to find exotic and innovative design ideas for their wallpapers. Whether it’s the walls of a Persian mansion, India and its palaces, or an exploration of exquisite Chinese art, the brand manages to incorporate a plethora of exotic designs in its finely crafted wall décor.
Animals and fish
A recurrent theme across many of the Mindthegap collections is the presence of a variety of creatures from the animal world. From elegant cranes providing a sophisticated Eastern touch for walls, to cheeky baboons climbing palm trees in their native Barbados, to stylised fish that seem to come straight from an old Encyclopaedia, animals are an iconic part of the brand’s portfolio.
Imitation of materials
Some of the most fascinating Mindthegap designs are based on a stunningly realistic reproduction of materials, ranging from plaid backgrounds to windows panes. The material is sourced from old books, images from archives and from museums, often using the decoupage technique and going through several processes of recolouring, drawing and scanning to achieve the desired result.
