Tempaper's Newest Collection Will Transport You Right to the Tropics

Right now, we could use some island time—we can already picture the crystal-clear ocean waves, beige beaches that span for miles, and lively interiors of hotel lobbies. Lucky for us, the next best thing just launched from Tempaper, the beloved removable wallpaper brand. They teamed up with design studio She She to release a collection inspired by the casual, coastal lifestyle of Curaçao—and we're sure you will love it.

The co-founders of She She, Kate Worum and Jenny Jorgensen, gathered loads of inspiration for this collection on a trip to the Dutch Caribbean. The energy and ferocity of Curaçao is on full display with the design, including prints inspired by sunrise yoga, wild island exploration, and sunbaked tones of the landscape.

We spoke with Tempaper co-founders, Jennifer Matthews and Julia Au, as well as the design duo behind She She to get the scoop on this new collection. Read on to explore the prints in this collection, plus tips from the Tempaper and She She creatives on how to incorporate them into your home without a hitch.

The Inspiration Behind the Collection

Each design by She She is full of personality in a sophisticated way, according to Matthews and Au, making this collection a perfect addition to Tempaper's current offerings. 

"I think their elevated approach to design fits well within our brand," they explain. "Their level of detail and playfulness offer a unique approach to tropical styles and beyond."

The pair behind She She share their motivation for taking the trip and their first thoughts upon seeing the beautiful island of Curaçao.

"We decided to go to Curaçao because we saw pictures of their downtown waterfront, lined with all of the brightly colored buildings, and the Queen Emma bridge," they explain. "We thought to ourselves, if She She designed a city, this might be what it looked like."

Upon arrival, the duo took in the sights and was instantly inspired.

"The sand had a warm, subtle pink tone, and the water was a gorgeous bright blue, so we spent most of our time just wandering through nature," they share. "It was so beautiful and inspiring to see the native flowers and the mauve-colored coral against the burgundy rocks. This collection is centered around our color memories of the island, which are nearly all pink and blue."

What's amazing about this collection is its versatility. If you read "tropical" and immediately envisioned bright teal and orange floral wallpaper, think again—these prints are energetic, adaptable, and far from kitschy. We're optimistic that they'll work perfectly in any room of your home.

"Our goal was to design a pattern for everyone in this collection, and we think the patterns have a wide range of moods and aesthetics that all play together nicely," Worum and Jorgensen note.
