Step into a world of pastoral elegance with ARCADIA, the breathtaking new mural collection from Dress Your Wall, a premium brand of The Wallpaper Company. As a signature highlight of our Custom Made Easy series, the ARCADIA collection is meticulously crafted for interior design professionals who seek to specify wallcoverings that deliver unique visual effects, deep personality, and uncompromised durability.

From hospitality and healthcare to high-end residential projects, ARCADIA offers a window into a serene, classical past, optimized for the performance needs of the future.

Designing with ARCADIA: The Intersection of Fine Art and Architecture

The ARCADIA aesthetic is rooted in the tradition of classical landscape painting. As seen in our professional catalogs, the design features a sweeping, idyllic vista complete with ancient architectural ruins, majestic stone pines, and a tranquil, mist-covered horizon. The palette is a sophisticated blend of muted sepias, earthy ochres, and soft charcoal tones, creating a monochromatic depth that feels both historical and fresh.

This mural serves as a powerful tool for designers looking to create "spatial expansion"—the classical perspective of ARCADIA adds an architectural "view" to windowless rooms, making it a favorite for lobbies, corridors, and executive suites.

The Technical Performance of the ARCADIA Collection

To ensure your design vision survives the rigors of commercial use, ARCADIA is available on four high-performance substrates:

Type II Vinyl: The contract industry standard. This substrate ensures that the delicate details of ARCADIA are protected by a scrubbable, impact-resistant surface perfect for high-traffic hospitality and healthcare environments.
Fiberglass: Engineered for dimensional stability and moisture resistance, making it an ideal choice for high-end bathrooms, spas, or facility management projects.
Aluminum: A contemporary choice that adds a subtle metallic shimmer to the sky and highlights of the mural, creating a shifting, luminous effect.
Canva (Non-woven or Osnaburg Backing): Provides a tactile, canvas-like texture that enhances the "fine art" feel of the landscape while maintaining commercial structural integrity.

Compliance and Safety: ASTM E84 - Class A Fire Rating

Safety is non-negotiable in contract design. Every specification of ARCADIA is rigorously tested to meet the ASTM E84 - Class A fire rating. This certification ensures that your projects remain fully compliant with building codes for Corporate, Government, and Education facilities.
