Iconic Panels offers 30 stock patterns and 8 finishes, which can all be pattern-matched across any size room like wallpaper. These patterns range in style from organic to geometric, restrained to free-flowing. Some of the designs were inspired by well-known creatives like Paul Klee, Louise Nevelson, and Frank Lloyd Wright.
