RECYCLED GLASS TILES Recycled glass tiles are a beautiful and environmentally responsible way to add a splash of texture and colour to your walls. Glass tiles can be subtle or brightly coloured; clear, irridescent or matte; molded into shapes or textured with designs; even tumbled into nuggets like pebbles at the seashore. PLANT FIBRE 3D PANELS Add beautiful texture to your walls with eco-friendly, light-weight 3D panels. The panels are moulded from plant fibre and pulp and can be fully recycled. The raw panels come in a variety of patterns and styles and can be sealed, primed and painted any colour to suit your decor. They are easy to glue to a wall or ceiling, as long as the surface is even. BAMBOO, CORK AND PLYWOOD There are other options to add interest to your walls. Materials like bamboo and cork, while mostly associated with floors, can also be applied to walls. Plywood, often used in house construction, can also make a great feature wall. Make sure it is a natural plywood without formaldehyde and check for what finishes have been used. Also, be aware of potential scratches and dents. 30
