Great work, as always! The banana wallpaper works well amongst all the elements there. It wouldn't even have stood out to me, except I noticed that same wallpaper pop up in so many other places recently. VampiressRN, I did a quick search for "Martinique Banana Leaf Beverly Hills Wallpaper" on Google shopping and here is what I found below. There are a lot of different banana leaf patterns, but the original tends to be expensive: I think that I agree with the rest of you that it works well when used with other design elements/materials. But it's a bold pattern and I could see it overwhelming a room very easily. I'm always wary when things start to trend and gain momentum. Reminds me of Tiki cocktails that use Pernod or Absinthe. Just a little bit goes a long way.
