My current job is great, but lacking in one particular aspect. Now I don’t work for a big interiors magazine I don’t get to spend nearly as much time gazing at new wallpaper prints as I’d like (for evidence of my wallpaper addiction see here). So I missed the new-ish Cole & Son Great Wave print.

I kind of like it, although it’s not the best picture. But I was nattering about it to my friend from Social Nesting and he recoiled, as if the wave itself were roaring towards him. He’d had enough of the Hokusai picture on which it is based in a previous century.

Today I happened upon this similar wallpaper on house-bothering blog An Afternoon With…, and a love it vs hate it debate going on in the comments. I think it looks pretty cool – what about you?

For those of you who find this more Swept Away than wet socks, check out my all time favourite wave wallpaper, and a few other honorable mentions, here.
