The Best Floral Wallpapers

​

For a Lush Setting

“Morris & Co. papers have a historic grounding that I like to incorporate into projects. The density of this design almost makes it read like a neutral while still adding interest.” —Zoë Feldman

​

For Statement-Making Blooms

“This beautiful print is a statement. I would pair it with solid, plaid, or striped fabrics to balance it out.” —Heidi Caillier

​

For a Simple Floral

“This classic print from Morris and Co. was designed in 1874, almost the same year that this house was built. I like to integrate finishes that feel like they would have always been there in projects. Willow is a textural backdrop that supports the other elements in the room rather than trying to be the star.” —Deidre Webster, Studio Day Design

​

For a Classic Moment

“I love this wallpaper. It's a very classic red and cream toile. I see it used in a powder room paired with modern lighting and a marble vanity so that everything else feels very relevant. It’s the classic moment in the space.” —Zoë Feldman

​

For an Immersive Installation

“I love the non-repetitive nature and the immersive quality of Marthe Armitage’s wallpapers. When you back up and look at them, it’s a whole universe.” —Jessica Helgerson

For a Neutral Option

“This floral wallpaper is clean and almost neutral, which gives you more opportunities to use colorful furniture or a textured rug. It’s a good balanced option that goes with everything.” —Heidi Caillier

​

For an Artistic Touch

“I love this pattern because of the scale. The repeat is not so tight that it feels contrived. It's more like a hand-painted mural which, if I had my way, would replace all wallpapers in my projects.” —Stephanie Sabbe, Sabbe Interior Design

​

For a Textured Feel

“This paper is bold and intense but it could also trick you into thinking that it's original to a home. I love how it's both visually and physically textured.” —Deidre Webster, Studio Day Design

​

For a Fruity Moment

“I love the fresh, Mediterranean feel of this print. It has a sophisticated whimsy that’s timeless.” —Zoë Feldman

​

For a Transportive Element

“I’m always inspired by global textiles, and this suzani has a really beautiful handmade quality.” —Zoë Feldman

​

The Best Geometric Wallpapers

​

For a Soft Feel

“We paperbacked this fabric to use as wallpaper in a project. It's a wonderful scale and quality and adds sophistication to any space.” —Julia Miller, Yond Interiors

​

For a Checked Look

“This print is a total neutral and could be paired with any fabric. The barely-there check is so classic.” —Heidi Caillier

​

For a Playful Geometric

“This wallpaper feels vintage and energetic. I love this pattern so much—it's the perfect palette for those vintage pink bathrooms out there.” —Deidre Webster, Studio Day Design

​

For a Striped Setting

“For wallpapers and fabrics, I love Rose Tarlow. She has some great striped designs.” —Molly Kidd, Light and Dwell

​

For a Quirky Accent

“I like when something is seemingly normal from far away, and upon closer inspection, things start to get weird.” —Deidre Webster, Studio Day Design

​

The Best Grasscloth Wallpapers

​

For a Floral Accent

“Childhood memories of California summers are an ever-present source of inspiration in my designs. The garden is my mood board and my perennial conversation.” —Stefani Stein

​

For a Neutral Vibe

“I recommend textured wallcoverings a lot. It’s such an instant gratification for people who are just itching for transformation but can't buy everything from scratch. It’s an easy fix that doesn’t require a ton of little decisions and it’ll make you fall in love with your space again.” —Monica Stewart, The Misfit House

​

For a Solid Pick

“A solid grasscloth or sisal wallpaper is a great opportunity to bring in bolder prints on your furniture, like plaids or florals.” —Heidi Caillier
