Beyond considering these [wall coverings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fashionable-wall-coverings) for the aesthetic intrigue they offer, you'd be all the more interested to note that they're actually made from sugarcane. As delicious as this deal sounds, it's further candy-coated by the fact that this [plant-based resource](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/abney-effect) is remarkably renewable, and means that the wallpaper itself is recyclable or compostable. The cherry on top is, of course, that these delectable products come in such [awesome abstract patterns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/immersive-surfaces). Repeating embossed lines and geometric shapes over each whitewashed surface, WallArt veneers foster such contemporary class in any textured mural they make up. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.9/10 - Popularity: 52% | Activity: 28% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Eco](https://www.trendhunter.com/eco) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Plant-based Wall Coverings:** Using agro waste to produce wall coverings opens up opportunities for sustainable material innovation. - **Compostable Wallpapers:** Designing compostable wallpapers gives a chance for disruption in material choices for eco-friendly interiors. - **Geometric Wall Murals:** Geometric shapes are the new canvas for wall murals, leading designers to opportunities for creative expression. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Interior Design:** Sustainable and compostable wallpapers provide designers with an eco-friendly option for walls and interiors. - **Agro Waste Management:** Innovative plant-based material production can inspire new ways of agro waste management and circular economies. - **Wallpaper Manufacturing:** Manufacturers can disrupt the wallpaper industry by incorporating sustainable and compostable materials in their production processes. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Texturized Decorative Wall Panels](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/decorative-wall-panels.md) - [Textural Wallcovering Technologies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wallcovering-technology.md) - [Renter-Friendly Wallpaper Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/renter-friendly-wallpaper.md) - [Sustainable Acoustic Tiles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mycelium-wall.md) - [Mycelium Sustainable Bright Partitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/veggro-collection.md) - [Sophisticated Boiserie Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/materica.md) - [Organic Landscape Wallcoverings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/borealis-series.md) - [Folk Art-Inspired Wallpapers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/backdrop.md) - [Sustainable Soundproofing Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sustainable-soundproofing.md)
