Hand-Painted Wallpaper: Art for Your Walls

At Tonka Papers, we create a vibrant alternative to mass-produced posters, prints, and plastic. Each piece of wallpaper is hand-painted with our own unique colour blends, giving it a depth and texture that machines cannot replicate. As a special detail, we finish the surface with a thin layer of mother-of-pearl pigment. This allows the wallpaper to reflect daylight and change its expression in rhythm with the day – from the gentle glow of morning to the warm radiance of evening. It is unique, robust wall art, created to be used and admired again and again.

Gold Leaf: Elegant Details and Italian Craftsmanship

To give our designs an extra touch of luxury, we add gold leaf details. We exclusively use imitation gold leaf of the highest quality from Italy – a durable metal leaf that provides the most beautiful finish without being as costly as real gold. The gold leaf is applied by hand, and each element comes with a thin sealant that ensures longevity and allows the surface to be cleaned with a damp cloth. It’s the perfect DIY solution for those who want exclusive details in their home in an easy, flexible, and plastic-free way.
