Melissa McCarthy's iconic wallpaper presents a simple twist on the Art Noveau look set to become a 2024 interior design trend

If walls could talk, we'd be dying to hear what Melissa McCarthy's would say. The talented comedian shared an Instagram video in a gorgeous pink and green raspberry-patterned dress standing in front of a leafy green wallpapered wall. Though the dress is beautiful, we are in love with the wallpaper.

McCarthy's wallpaper idea showcases doodly black lines forming into bright green, lily-pad-like leaves on a white background. Its history is almost as interesting as its look. Melissa McCarthy's playful pattern was developed in 2002 by Swedish designer Anna Danielsson for the iconic Finnish lifestyle brand Marimekko. Since 1951, Marimekko has been renowned for its original prints and patterns. Known as the 'Bottna' print, this lily pad pattern celebrates the spirit of Art Nouveau and points to the designer's concern for the natural world.
