Abstract Flock Wallpaper
A trending style in flock wallpaper is abstract flock wallpapers, in this range of luxurious wallpapers the flock wallpaper picks out the detail in an abstract design creating visually stunnning tactile backdrops to any room. The result is a modern contemporary style which is accentuated by the flock wallpaper rather than the making the flock itself be the dominant style.
