We realized it had been A WHILE since we did a proper “best wallpaper” update, so we are fixing that today. We combed through and deleted companies no longer in business, added some new favorites, and updated each and every brand graphic with new selections! We are big wallpaper believers, so if you are contemplating adding some to your home, we hope this post is a huge help.
Wallpaper can be daunting to shop for, commit to, and hang. But when you do it correctly, it really MAKES a room. It not only provides a big pattern that creates impact, but it actually makes the rest of the room easier to design because you have a pattern, color, motif, or design that leads the rest of the room. A few years back we scoured the internet pulling together some of our favorite sources (both the ones that we use time and time again and a few that were new to us), but with some of the patterns being discontinued, some new ones being introduced to the market, and so many new artisans creating beautiful prints that we love, we figured it was time to update the roundup and highlight some of our favorites in a massive roundup. So, folks, here are 354 of our favorite and wallpaper patterns in alphabetical order. Just what you needed for a Wednesday morning pick me up.
1. Good Vibrations | 2. Domino Effect | 3. Mr. Blow | 4. Buggie | 5. Lily’s Pad | 6. Ernest | 7. Holden | 8. Flashdance | 9. Summer Breeze
These guys are exactly what they say they are: a little bit abnormal and a little bit amazing. I hung quite a handful of these in our old office for our opening party, and everyone couldn’t get enough of them. They have reintroduced a lot of the classics in some more muted colors, and I love the playful aspect of them.
1. Anemone | 2. Earthlight | 3. Cactus Spirit | 4. Astrobots | 5. Bloom | 6. Camping | 7. Jungle Dream | 8. Warped Check | 9. Analog Nights
This has been one of my favorite sources for fun, fresh, and playful patterns. They all come in a variety of color ways, and I loved her Shadowcat pattern so much that I used it in the Cattery project I did a few years back. Looking back on that project is so much fun, and I am still very into the pattern of the paper.
1. Bernadette Pond Nature Scene | 2. Suits You | 3. Green Antique Arras Botanical | 4. Nuvolette Cloud | 5. Canopy Toile | 6. Nomalanga Geometric | 7. Judarn Floral | 8. Infinity Blocks | 9. Citrus Garden
It might not be a secret to you, but if it is…here is my big secret – Anthropologie sells wallpaper, and their patterns are SO good. They really pick the creme de la creme of patterns and designers to sell online in a really curated collection. Their patterns rotate with each season, so if you find something you love, snag it up before it’s gone. They don’t sell in-store, but some of the stores do use them in some of their installations.
1. Rhinestone Cowboy | 2. Wabi-Sabi | 3. Lady Lilith | 4. Toile de Femmes | 5. Nicolette | 6. Ascendance | 7. Puntini Sisal | 8. Opera | 9. Floralia Sisal
While we haven’t used these yet, Backdrop has been coming out with incredible and original prints. Modern but whimsical! Aside from their own designs, they also carry other brands.
1. Nettle | 2. Eyelash | 3. Marbleized | 4. Willow | 5. Florentine Flowers | 6. Linden
I am a HUGE Beata Heuman, so it’s no surprise that I love her wallpapers. This is her whole selection, but it’s a pretty beautiful one if you are looking for great wallpaper.
1. Animals | 2. Tabbys Song | 3. Chess | 4. Coromandel | 5. Asana | 6. Francis Halle | 7. Ancient Sea | 8. Flora | 9. Cloudy
These guys are not for the faint of heart. I used their Animal pattern in Charlie’s nursery in our old house, and although I love our home now, I do miss that beautiful wallpaper so much. Their patterns are all custom-made for your room so that their murals fit the space perfectly and really feel like they are made for the room (which they are).
1. Tulip Ticking Stripe | 2. Paisley Block Stripe | 3. Dinosaurs | 4. Fern | 5. Cosmo Block Print | 6. Tide Stripe | 7. Pacific Northwest | 8. Climb | 9. Indigo Batik
These guys make GOOD peel-and-stick wallpaper in such great patterns (but also offer traditional wallpaper too!). Arlyn used the Cosmo Block Print in her last rental kitchen (she says it came off so easily when they moved out). They have so many wonderful prints and do really amazing collaborations with designers and artists.
1. Villandry | 2. Flamenco Fan | 3. Royal Fernery | 4. Orange Blossom | 5. Zambezi | 6. Vivienne Love Andreas | 7. Absence of Roses Moire | 8. Carmen | 9. Strawberry Tree
Fruit, Trees, Poppies, Fish, and Parrots… these guys have it all, and I love their saturated but not crazy prints. Their patterns are classics and feel painstakingly hand-drawn by artists. Caitlin used their Flamenco Fan in her dining room and Orange Blossom in her kitchen! They look so incredible and really elevated those spaces in such a whimsical way.
Best Wallpaper: Eskayel
1. Dynasty | 2. Grasscloth Banda | 3. Up For Anything | 4. Native Stripe | 5. Dogwood Dreams | 6. Plumeria Shadows | 7. Margherita | 8. Nairutya | 9. Cocos
These guys have a lot of tribal and watercolor-inspired prints, which, if that’s your thing, would be perfect to add to any of your walls.
1. Gable | 2. Aranami | 3. Hornbeam | 4. Baracé | 5. Purnon | 6. Lotus | 7. Wisteria | 8. Auguste | 9. Amime
Farrow & Ball has long been the king of the best paint colors, but they also carry wallpaper, and my, it is beautiful. They are all printed using Farrow & Ball’s own paint, giving them a stunning, slight texture. They do lean more to the traditional side, but I love some of their prints so much. I have used quite a few of them in my Los Feliz house, and they made every room they were installed in feel so special (and also so much easier to design).
1. Seascape | 2. Ramayana | 3. Senzo Spot | 4. Bird | 5. Bersa | 6. Printemps | 7. Narina | 8. The River | 9. Kit Moon
Artful and fun patterns in a variety of color ways. Some of theirs are pretty busy, so they might not be the best for the bedroom, but man, I could be very into using #1 in a smaller space like a powder room.
1. Moire Faux Bois | 2. Lotus | 3. New Eden | 4. Nomad | 5. Bodenham Heritage | 6. Dots | 7. Obassia Opulence | 8. Secret Mountain | 9. Moire Damson
These guys have a little bit of everything to suit anyone’s taste levels, and generally, the prices are affordable.
1. Hill Valley Toile | 2. Otomi | 3. Underwater | 4. Daydream | 5. Fable | 6. Foret | 7. Serpentine | 8. Botanist Tonal | 9. Andanza
Hygee & West carries some of my favorite patterns that I seem to go to for inspiration each time I need a new wallpaper for a project. They have a range of styles from old world, to modern traditional, to a little bit kitchy. I love all their stuff.
1. Dune | 2. Cocoon | 3. Streams | 4. Sandstone | 5. Terrains | 6. Plume | 7. Rose Garden | 8. Migration | 9. Fauna
You have heard me say it before, but I love designing nurseries and playrooms, and I could be completely satisfied with so many of their prints in any and all nurseries/playrooms that I design. They are fun, fresh, and totally modern in a way that will stay current for years to come.
1. Anika | 2. Poppies Textured Peel and Stick | 3. Next Summer Peel and Stick | 4. Michelet Peel & Stick | 5. Faux Grasscloth Geo Peel and Stick | 6. Carmina Light Stripe | 7. Zora | 8. Marble | 9. Almyra
Yep, one of your favorite online retailers also carries wallpaper now. They have a large selection that you might have to dig through, but we did find some really good ones.
1. Meadow | 2. Valley | 3. Verte | 4. Cricket | 5. Briar | 6. Farm Weeds | 7. Thicket | 8. Fig | 9. Primrose
I came across Kelly Venutra’s work in the last couple of years and love her delicate florals so much. I used Meadow in our guest bath and Thicket in Kaitlin’s primary bedroom. Can’t recommend them more!
1. Graffito (teal) | 2. Chalet | 3. Lyre | 4. Currents | 5. Avant (teal) | 6. Agate | 7. Stigma | 8. Graffito (linen) | 9. Avant (black)
What doesn’t Kelly do? First interiors, then chocolate, and now beautiful wallpapers. The prices aren’t for the faint of heart, but these patterns are worth every penny.
1. Scenic Landscape | 2. Painterly Stripe | 3. Hoffmann Faux Sisal | 4. Tiger Grasscloth | 5. Dors Grasscloth | 6. Mayfair | 7. Mermaid Toile | 8. Fillmore Checkered Paperweave | 9. Scalamandre Linnea
Another one of our favorite online retailers has some fun and fresh wallpapers that will give life to any room. The selection they have, along with their collaborations (like Sarah Sherman Samuel, Heidi Callier, and Jake Arnold, to name a few), is one of our favorites.
1. Wave | 2. Succulent | 3. Flax Flower | 4. Tangle | 5. Forage | 6. Graph | 7. Frolic | 8. Roll Right | 9. Wrought
Blue flowers, green playful toile, and anything else that your little Alice in Wonderland Heart could desire. They have a fun mix of botanicals, modern graphic prints, and well, mushrooms if that is your sorta thing.
1. Max Grasscloth | 2. Impasto Meadows Grasscloth Mural | 3. Wicker | 4. Glaze | 5. Kathryn Grasscloth | 6. Palette Stripe | 7. Edo | 8. La Fontaine | 9. Knot
These guys are an Australian brand and have so many fun and fresh patterns. They aren’t inexpensive, but wow are they pretty:)
1. Dungeness | 2. Peggy | 3. Whitby | 4. Sitting Comfortably? | 5. Moordale | 6. Gulls | 7. Festival | 8. Play/Record | 9. A Forest
Anyone who has a wallpaper print with vintage midcentury modern chair silhouettes is bound to be on my roundup of the best wallpapers online. They have some very fun, playful prints to feast your eyes on.
1. Leaf Berry | 2. Woods | 3. Frontier | 4. Tigers | 5. Foxglove | 6. Leaves | 7. Little Trees | 8. Mountains | 9. Deep Sea
They have got some fun and crazy patterns that would be great to add some serious drama to any room. The saturated colors and bright patterns might not be for everyone (or every room), but for the right space, they could really make it special.
1. Kyoto | 2. Strata | 3. Checkmate | 4. Artemis | 5. Pablo | 6. Shanti | 7. Zebra Fern | 8. Little Havana | 9. Nani
These guys take abstract wallpapers to a whole new level. Some of their prints even look like they have been block printed, so it really makes your walls look custom and much better than any old, bland beige paint that you could slap on.
1. Amitié | 2. Emergence | 3. Matrice | 4. Tectonic | 5. En Plein Air | 6. Kimono | 7. Alae | 8. Echo | 9. Ensemble
Their wallpapers will take your room to a whole different level. Each pattern is designed after hand-painted pieces, which means your room will look as if the most skilled artisan came in and transformed your room.
1. Arches | 2. Bramble | 3. Diagonal Waves | 4. Hampton Park Mural | 5. Crescent Plaid | 6. Dashes | 7. Cat Cow | 8. Bubbly Leaves | 9. Bubbles Coordinate
I’ve been a fan of Rebecca Atwood for YEARS! I’ve used her fabrics for years, but I also put the Dashes wallpaper in the Portland Project’s powder bath. The quality is incredible, and she is also wonderful.
1. Bellewood | 2. Cotton Skies | 3. High Seas | 4. Animal Tree | 5. Treasure Hunt | 6. Chinoiserie Chic | 7. Jungle Land | 8. Pulse of Passion | 9. Swimmers
I originally stumbled into these guys when I was sourcing tree mural wallpaper for Elliot’s old room (yes, I know she has had tree mural wallpaper in both rooms) and fell in love with so many of their prints. Some of them are a bit wild and bright, but they do have a great selection, and the tree mural that I used could not have been more perfect for Elliot’s first nursery. I also used the High Seas mural in our LA kids’ playroom, and Jess used their Chinoiserie Chic mural for her friend’s bedroom.
1. Hydrangea | 2. Fable | 3. Climbing Vines | 4. Pomegranate | 5. Luxembourg | 6. Pineapple Damask | 7. Elodie | 8. Willowberry | 9. Highgrove
You might be familiar with their stationery, but these guys make some pretty joy-inducing wallpaper patterns as well. They come in peel-and-stick, too!
1. Dainty Flower | 2. Peony Floral | 3. Olive Branch | 4. Desert | 5. Sedona Stripe | 6. Floral Vertical Stripe | 7. Home | 8. Toile de Jouy | 9. Fairytale
Haven’t tried these guys out in person, but they do have some pretty cute temporary wallpaper options. We chose very neutral options here, but they have a ton of colorful options too!
1. Olof | 2. Pine | 3. Caroline | 4. Irene | 5. Hollie | 6. Sam | 7. Kristoffer | 8. Raphaël | 9. Montfort
The wallpaper company of my Scandi dreams:) I love their designs so much, and the famous Raphaël is in my entryway – a quiet neutral that has so much beautiful movement.
1. Priano | 2. Raffia | 3. Ocean | 4. Palmetto | 5. Feather | 6. Palm Royal | 7. Florian | 8. Windermere | 9. Deauville
We are long-time fans of everything Serena & Lily does, and their wallpapers are no exception. I love some of the simpler and subdued patterns like #5 and #8.
1. Chinese Trees Wall Mural | 2. Classic Mountains | 3. Woodlands | 4. Dinosaur | 5. Chinese Storytelling Trees | 6. Chinese Storytelling Trees
Found this company when designing Elliot’s nursery and fell in love with their prints and patterns. I used #1 in Elliot’s bedroom because who doesn’t need a pink tree mural in their room? I cannot say enough good things about the details, quality, and coloring of their stuff.
1. Scandi Folk Stripe | 2. Deco Cranes | 3. Fancy Leaf II | 4. Lapping Waves | 5. Heritage Revival Floral | 6. Romantic Floral Block Print | 7. Scallop Fans | 8. Modern Victorian Damask | 9. Heritage Charm
I have been working with Spoonflower for a few years now and truly love their product. I used #1 in the upstairs laundry closet, and I did it myself (and with Gretchen:)). Most, if not all, of their papers come in eight different types, like peel-and-stick, pre-pasted, grasscloth, etc. They have it all.
1. Animal Farm | 2. Bengal Rose | 3. Firdausi | 4. Relics | 5. Petal Pavilion | 6. Stamps | 7. William | 8. Coffering | 9. Recessed
They have got some very off-the-wall patterns and narrative murals that are bound to make your friends, and your walls talk (literally), and if that is not your thing, then you can find some beautiful geometrics and florals in their shop as well.
1. Canopy Toile Faux Grasscloth | 2. Gingham Check | 3. Arbor Toile | 4. Charles Street Stripe | 5. Moire Dots | 6. Zebra Marble | 7. Feather Flock | 8. Bursa Stripe | 9. Forest Toile
A true staple in the temporary wallpaper game! They have just introduced so many new patterns to their lineup over the years that are so beautiful.
Best Wallpaper: Thatcher (Formerly Juju Papers)
1. Tectonic | 2. Late Spring | 3. Stag Party | 4. Windows | 5. Dimes | 6. Waving | 7. Plastered | 8. Crosswise | 9. Baptiste
Thatcher (formerly Juju wallpapers) is local to Portland, and we all know how much I love a small business, especially a small business in Portland that puts out some lovely patterns for your walls.
1. Alice In Wonderland | 2. Hydrangea | 3. I Love Little Pussy | 4. Seagulls | 5. Apothecary’s Garden | 6. Bat And Poppy | 7. Bird & Holly | 8. Four And Twenty | 9. Whoot
These guys make reproductions of some of the most beautiful antique prints. That Alice in Wonderland print is beyond words; it makes me so happy.
1. Worst In Show | 2. Red Poppy Garden | 3. Mystical | 4. Mystic Serpent | 5. Baby Bow | 6. Strawberry | 7. Cowboy Things | 8. Art Deco Florals | 9. Stencil Grey
Urban Outfitters has been expanding their home collection and introducing some very good items into it, including these wallpapers. As with Urban Outfitters, a lot of them are retro, playful, and vintage-inspired.
1. Ritz Minimal | 2. London Plaid | 3. Firenze | 4. Bengal Stripe | 5. Vinca | 6. Sinuous Line | 7. Petals | 8. Baroque Maximal | 9. Shibori Circle
These guys have an extensive collection of prints, botanicals, and geometrics in a huge variety of colorways. They also have a handful of designer collections that are tailored to suit every style.
1. Floral Grid | 2. Garden | 3. Foliage Stripe | 4. Lin Tic | 5. Wild Flowers I | 6. Leaf Jacquard | 7. Wide Multi-Stripe | 8. Continuous Swirls | 9. Floral Lattice
Another major retailer that carries great wallpaper. I don’t think any of the stores have these in person for you to see, but from what we found online, it does look like they have some good ones. Most of these are from the Pierce & Ward collab, which we still can’t get enough of. West Elm also sells a lot of wallpapers from Tempaper and Chasing Paper.
There you have it, folks, 40 of my favorite wallpaper retailers. Now get out there and wallpaper your life, and in case you missed our other EPIC roundups, check out: Best Online Fabric and Best Online Art.
