and learn the reason for the wallpaper's name

According to the Echo Interiors website, If you look closely you can make out the little suited men travelling their way up escalators through the jungle environment. Inspired by the idea of a nicer way to travel to work, it's really just a fun quirky paper, that from distance looks more like a traditional lattice design.

Lovely but a little creepy. I think if I had this on my walls, it would be hard not to feel like I was inside the short story, "The Yellow Wallpaper."

I don't see any little man, and it's making me cranky.

it looks like a chain link fence! so, no thank you. not hot.

but maybe as a cheeky pattern under a chair rail...in a subtler combo of grey on white?

It took me a while too...
...look again, the chain-link fence figures are the escalators.

You people need to get your eyes checked! There's a little man smack dab in the middle of the bottom edge. Clear as day.

I like it, but not enough to pay 55 pounds for it.

from a dist I thought it was jungle seen through chain link fence- I think I'd always see that even knowing there were tiny littlebusinesmen in my wall...which is disturbing but what the hey!!you could have worst things on your wall..

I too thought it was a chain link fence. That doesn't mean I don't like it though, it's great!

I like it. Meanwhile, speaking of chain link fence, there's a vintage wallpaper in one of the 1950's sample books that I bought on eBay that, instead of having flowers growing on a trellis, has flowers growing on chain link fence! I thought that was so peculiar, but it's kind of purty.
