psychedelic prints
Swirling colorful designs
Psychedelic prints are bold, colorful patterns inspired by the visual distortions of hallucinogenic drug experiences—swirling shapes, intense hues, optical illusions, and kaleidoscopic designs.
The style emerged in 1960s counterculture and remains associated with that era: She found a vintage psychedelic print dress at the thrift store.
The term applies to fabric, wallpaper, posters, and other decorated surfaces.
