Wallpaper can be daunting to shop for, commit to and hang. But when you do it correctly, it really MAKES a room. We promise. In case you missed our post on the impact it can bring in to a room, click through here to read more. 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.
We are back for the THIRD time where we scoured the internet to pull together some of our favorite sources (both the ones that we use time and time again and a few that were new to us). 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. So, folks, here are 390 of our favorite wallpaper patterns and murals in alphabetical order. Tuesday just got a whole lot better.
Abnormals Anonymous
1. Animal House | 2. Wavelength | 3. Mr. Blow | 4. Sea Tales | 5. Lily’s Pad | 6. Twisted Stitcher | 7. Holden | 8. Flash Dance | 9. Block Party
These guys are exactly what they say they are; a little bit abnormal and a little bit amazing. Emily has hung quite a handful of these in her 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 we love the playful aspect of them.
Aimee Wilder
1. Analog Nights Eclipse | 2. Cosmic Splash Astro | 3. Cactus Spirit Mist | 4. Anemone Moonstone | 5. Secret Language Mariana | 6. Gameland Army | 7. Analog Nights Heather | 8. Herbario Canary | 9. Jungle Dream Glint
This has been one of our favorite sources for fun, fresh and playful patterns. They all come in a variety of colorways and Emily loved her Shadowcat pattern so much that she used it the Cattery project she did back in 2014. Looking back on that project is so much fun and she says she is still very into the pattern of the paper.
Anthropologie
1. Cloud Formation | 2. Handloom | 3. Arcadia | 4. Bountiful | 5. Hornbeam | 6. Orange Grove | 7. Herbal | 8. Etched Arcadia | 9. Archwork
It might not be a secret to you, but if it is…here is our 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.
Ashley Woodson Bailey
1. Centerfold | 2. Into The Garden (blush) | 3. Cherry | 4. Reese Grasscloth | 5. The Calm Before The Storm | 6. Freedom | 7. Dutch Love | 8. Dutch Love Gold | 9. Magic
A couple of years back, we found out about these beautiful florals when she sent through some samples to our office and I love them so much. They also are a perfect complement to the Modern Victorian Trend that hit.
Betapet
1. Spot | 2. Stripes | 3. Leaf | 4. Ginkgo | 5. Vintage Floral | 6. Leaf | 7. Catalina | 8. Solid Gold Leaf | 9. Cheetah
Simple colors with beautiful geometric patterns (and some classic florals) that feel timeless but fresh.
Bien Fait
1. Animals | 2. Stardust | 3. Coromandel | 4. Diabolo | 5. The Wild | 6. Chicoutimi | 7. Carpates | 8. Bahamas | 9. Cloudy
These guys are not for the faint of heart. They are not available in the US for purchase but can be shipped over. Emily used their Animal pattern in Charlie’s nursery in her previous house and misses 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).
Cavern Home
1. Paleolith | 2. Burst | 3. Thesis | 4. Trellis | 5. Triple Gem | 6. Plume | 7. I See You | 8. Best Coast | 9. Rays
Some of these are a little bit off the wall but in all the right ways (no pun intended). They have some large scale prints that really command the space as well as some darling prints like #7 that add just the right touch of whimsy.
CB2
1. Cross Hatch Navy | 2. Damask Navy Blue | 3. Expressionist Rounds Gold | 4. Expressionist Rounds Black | 5. Palm | 6. Lucky Floral | 7. Time Travel Foral | 8. Damask Light Grey | 9. Cross Hatch Black and White
In case you weren’t aware, CB2 now sells wallpaper and they have a great little selection.
Chasing Paper
1. Italian Tile | 2. Peonies | 3. Delicate Thoughts | 4. Wild Things | 5. Botany | 6. Leaping Bunnies | 7. Tree Toile | 8. Parrots | 9. Palm Springs
These guys make GOOD peel and stick wallpaper in such great patterns. We used #6 in a nursery makeover and it instantly made the room so fun and playful. If you need temporary paper, then definitely check them out.
Cole & Son
1. Geometric II | 2. Flamingos | 3. Zambezi | 4. Seafern | 5. Melville | 6. Mosaic | 7. Cow Parsley | 8. Woods | 9. Feather Fan
Flamingos, waves, trees, poppies, fish and parrots…these guys have it all, and we love their saturated but not crazy prints. Their patterns are classics and feel painstakingly hand-drawn by artists. Emily used their wave pattern in her old laundry room, making laundry a bit less terrible.
Devine Color
1. Buffalo Plaid | 2. Celestial | 3. Tropical | 4. Speckled (black) | 5. Ribbon Peel | 6. Weave | 7. Karat Metallic | 8. Black Buffalo Plaid | 9. Speckled (gold)
We love this brand and have used a few of their patterns before. These guys do peel-and-stick and sell directly through Target, both in-store and online, which makes them perfect to pick up this weekend for a quick project. 🙂
Eskayel
1. Dynasty | 2. Bali Stripe | 3. Up For Anything | 4. Midnight | 5. Stratum Mural | 6. Cyrrus | 7. Lumier | 8. Bare Grasscloth | 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.
Farrow & Ball
1. Gable | 2. Aranami | 3. Hornbeam | 4. Turbillon | 5. Uppark | 6. Lotus | 7. Yukutori | 8. Peony | 9. Amime
Farrow & Ball has long been the king of the best paint colors but they also carry wallpaper, and my, is it beautiful. It leans more to the traditional side but we love some of their prints so much. Emily has used quite a few of them in her current house and they made every room they were installed in feel so special (and also so much easier to design).
Finest Wallpaper
1. Seascape | 2. Sea Houses | 3. Senzo Spot | 4. Tanzania | 5. Spring to Life 2 Tone | 6. Seahorse | 7. Woodlands | 8. Swan | 9. Ripley
Artful and fun patterns in a variety of colorways. Some of theirs are pretty busy so they might not be the best for the bedroom, but man we could be very into using #1 in a smaller space like a powder room.
Florence Broadhurst
1. Waterfall Gardens | 2. Chinese Floral | 3. Waterjet | 4. Branches | 5. Oriental Filigree | 6. Egrets | 7. Aubrey | 8. Japanese Floral | 9. Pagoda
Oh, Florence. She is a super inspiring Australian designer and her patterns are mostly from the ’60s and yet feel so incredibly fresh and just generally amazing. They aren’t cheap, but man are they special.
Graham & Brown
1. Rene Shimmer | 2. Marbled Grey and White | 3. Muse Bleu | 4. Stroma Stone | 5. Lotus Summer | 6. Frames | 7. Lagom Geo Navy & Gold | 8. Felt Tip Pink | 9. Dots Green
We are sure that we have all seen that Frames wallpaper on one of our Pinterest boards somewhere (Emily used it here). These guys have a little bit of everything to suit anyone’s taste levels and generally, the prices are affordable.
Hygge & West
1. Cards | 2. Piedmont | 3. Stardust | 4. Mermaids | 5. Storyline | 6. Rosa | 7. Bruno | 8. Daydream | 9. Slice
Hygge & West carries some of our favorite patterns that we seem to go to for inspiration each time we need a new wallpaper for a project. They have a range of styles from old world, to modern traditional, to a little bit kitschy. We love all their stuff.
Jill Malek
1. Dune | 2. Sandstone | 3. Aegean | 4. Peel | 5. Plume | 6. Terrains | 7. Baby Elephant Walk | 8. Stampede | 9. Refractions
You have heard me say it before, but Emily loves designing nurseries and playrooms and she could be completely satisfied with so many of their prints in any and all nurseries/playrooms that she designs. They are fun fresh and totally modern in a way that will stay current for years to come.
Joss & Main
1. Spatter Black | 2. Lines Washed | 3. Bomba | 4. Banded | 5. Casner Windsong Crane | 6. Wave | 7. Trellis | 8. Polka Dot | 9. Floral and Botanical
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.
Juju Papers
1. Pavlova | 2. Waving | 3. La Strada | 4. Sisters of the Sun | 5. Silhouettes | 6. Big Moon | 7. Cle Elum | 8. Pas de Trois | 9. After Chinterwink
Juju Papers are local to Portland and you all know how much we love a small business, especially a small business in Portland that puts out some lovely patterns for your walls.
Kelly Wearstler
1. Graffito (teal) | 2. Rarity | 3. Entangle | 4. Currents | 5. Rapture | 6. Agate | 7. Covet | 8. Graffito | 9. Avant (black)
What doesn’t Kelly do well? First interiors, then chocolate, and now beautiful wallpapers. The prices aren’t for the faint of heart, but these patterns are worth every penny.
Lizzie Allen
1. London City Gents | 2. Jazz in Central Park | 3. Red Buses & Black Cabs | 4. Festival of Britain at Southbank | 5. Red Buses & Black Cabs | 6. Changing of Guards at Buckingham Palace | 7. St. Paul’s | 8. The Royal Guards | 9. Up, Up & Away!
For those of you that miss a little bit of class or English charm in your life, you might find it on your walls with any of these prints. They have a great collection of British inspired prints in some very fun and vibrant colorways.
Lulu & Georgia
1. Nueva NYC | 2. Echo | 3. Whispering Leaves | 4. Jungle | 5. Woodland | 6. Vivian Mae | 7. Connie Terrazzo | 8. Lemon | 9. Moroccan
Another one of our favorite online retailers has some fun and fresh wallpapers that will give life to any room. Remember when Emily used #6 in Sara Sugarman’s floral glam nursery (founder of Lulu & Georgia)?
Makelike
1. Contour | 2. Slash | 3. Forage | 4. Tangle | 5. 2.0 | 6. 100 Things | 7. Monument | 8. Roll Right | 9. Wrought
They make modern yet whimsical patterns that would bring any room to life. It’s a fun mix of botanicals, modern graphic prints, and well…mushrooms if that is your sorta thing.
Milton & King
1. Olive Dapper | 2. White Rock | 3. Travelers Palm | 4. Mice & Cats | 5. Jungle Fever | 6. Palm Springs | 7. Tulip Seeds | 8. Earston | 9. Wetherby

Mini Moderns
1. Dungeness | 2. Peggy | 3. Whitby | 4. Bauhaus | 5. Moordale | 6. Gulls | 7. Pet Sounds | 8. Pleasure Gardens | 9. We Had Everything

1. On The Canal | 2. Edges | 3. Ice Canyon | 4. Batik Forest | 5. Mud Cloth Organic | 6. Linear Cityscape | 7. Mountain Range | 8. Emily’s Mark | 9. Birch Woods In The Winter
Minted is one of our favorite places to find awesome affordable art and now they are doing wall murals. YES. You may recognize #4 from our recent Flash Makeover and #8 is a wall mural version of Emily’s collaboration with The Fourth Artist for The Parisian Bedroom
Miss Print
1. Laurus | 2. Palm Tree Glades | 3. Frontier | 4. Guatemala | 5. Foxglove | 6. Shapes Element | 7. Little Trees | 8. Mountains | 9. Ditto
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.
Paper Mills
1. Topo Hum | 2. Strata | 3. Sargasso | 4. Little Havana | 5. Quartzite | 6. Shanti | 7. Zebra Fern | 8. Pablo | 9. Artemis
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.
Pottok Prints
1. All of Us | 2. Aquatic | 3. Dead Trees | 4. Shadows of the Paranormal | 5. Girls | 6. Hands | 7. Aquatic | 8. Lined Forest | 9. Coins
Pottok has some very fun prints and patterns. If you are looking for stripes, chinoiserie, or anything too classic then steer clear but if you want fun, modern, playful and youthful prints then you can get lost in some of their wallpapers.
1. Mixed Stripe (Gray) | 2. Dawn Stripe (Taupe) | 3. Dotted Leaves (Garden Green) | 4. Marble (Taupe) | 5. Dashes (Gray) | 6. Circle Stripe (Stone Gray) | 7. Dotted Palm (Ivory/Black) | 8. Dreamscape (Ocean Blue) | 9. Speckled (Taupe)
We’ve long been a fan of Rebecca Atwood’s painterly, ethereal yet hushed prints, from her fabrics to her pillows and now her wallpapers. We used #1 in the Portland dining room and #5 in the Portland powder bathroom, so, like we said…fans.
Rebel Walls
1. Bellewood | 2. Cotton Skies | 3. High Seas | 4. Animal Tree | 5. London Houses | 6. Tres Tintas | 7. Happy Hills | 8. Pulse of Passion | 9. Briar Roses
Emily originally stumbled onto these guys when she 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 she used could not have been more perfect for Elliot’s first nursery.
Rifle Paper Co.
1. Safari | 2. Peonies | 3. City Toile | 4. Pineapple | 5. Queen Anne | 6. Peonies | 7. Peonies | 8. Rosa | 9. Queen Anne

Sian Zeng
1. Chinese Trees Wall Mural | 2. Classic Mountains | 3. Woodlands | 4. Dinosaur | 5. Chinese Storytelling Trees | 6. Spring Wild Rain
Emily found this company a few years ago when designing Elliot’s nursery and fell in love with their prints and patterns. Emily used #1 in Elliot’s bedroom because who doesn’t need a pink tree mural in their room. She cannot say enough good things about the details, quality and coloring of their stuff.
Studio Printworks
1. Faux Marble | 2. Recessed | 3. New Amsterdam | 4. Maiden and Moonflower | 5. Pineapple | 6. Webs | 7. Cones | 8. Relics | 9. Yee-Ha
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.
Tempaper
1. Tokyo | 2. Coffee Beans | 3. Mosaic Scallop | 4. Celestial | 5. Swell | 6. Papillion | 7. Feather Flock | 8. Check You Out | 9. Moire Dots
We love using Tempaper because they give you all the big impact without the permanent part. Plus, we promise that it is so easy to put up that anyone could do it…just take your time. 🙂
The Jungalow
1. Phoenix | 2. Ayo | 3. Eucalif | 4. Tigris | 5. Chaya | 6. Phoenix
The Jungalow is THE go-to place for the most vibrant, awesome bohemian patterned wallpaper. The amazing Justina Blakeney is a true artist and it’s impossible to not look at her work and smile.
Trustworth
1. Alice In Wonderland | 2. Hydrangea | 3. I Love Little Pussy | 4. Seagulls | 5. Apothecary’s Garden | 6. Bat And Poppy | 7. Bird And Holly | 8. Four And Twenty | 9. Whoot

Turner Pocock Cazalet
1. Penguins | 2. Ostrich | 3. Toucans | 4. Zebras | 5. Cricket (blue) | 6. Owlet | 7. Cricket (natural) | 8. Ibis | 9. Tennis
These guys fulfill my animalistic tendencies in all the right ways. They have got some great patterns that are fun, youthful, and perfect for a kids room.
Urban Outfitters
1. Swansy | 2. Pink Current | 3. Amy Floral | 4. Laura Ashely | 5. Mid Century Geometric | 6. Gail | 7. Retro Stripe | 8. Ayat | 9. Peaches
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 and vintage inspired.

Another major retailer that is now carrying wallpaper. We 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.
There you have it folks, 43 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.
I also love Surface View in the UK – surfaceview.co.uk. Many of the wallpapers sold by Trustworth in this roundup were designed by Arts and Crafts designer CFA Voysey and they are all available through Surface View in their V&A Museum collection. They do collaborations with British historical institutions such as museums as well as other amazing designers. And it isn’t just wallpaper, you can get prints and fabrics and tiles as well.
Love this post! Thank you!
What a great resource for wall paper you have gifted us! Thank you for putting that together. I had a dear neighbor (she just died at age 102) whose entire house was done in wallpaper from 1957. It was such an impressive, sophisticated collection with every room different but not clashy in any way. She geniusly chose patterns that never were dated and many of the rooms had fabric that matched. I just loved being in the midst of it all. I would love to wallpaper a room or two as a tribute to her.
okay I know about 98% of the population would think matching your wallpaper to fabric is fuddy duddy, but if it’s done right, it’s SO chic and special. Your neighbor sounds like she was someone I’d want to know.
This was the 50’s when she did this so it definitely didn’t look modern but it was done well. She was far from fuddy duddy, so cool for a 100 year old.
Wow! Thank you. These are all fantastic and inspirational. I love wallpaper and am so happy to see it make a comeback.
These options are so good! I didn’t know West Elm had wallpaper. I have used Wild from Chasing Paper and love it so much I plan on using it again. Another local wallpaper source that is updated and fun is from Kate Zaremba. https://www.katezarembacompany.com/
Looks like this post came at just the right time for us wallpaper junkies!
Dying. Makelike and Eskayel are my new favs.
Great post! Love wallpaper! Here is one of my all time favorites, Timorous Beasties! https://www.timorousbeasties.com/shop/wallcoverings/
oh yes! I LOVE them. Such artistic, whimsical work.
Ty For Wallpaper

Thanks for this! I’ve been looking for good patterns for a small bath. 🙂
http://www.thepatterncollective.com ? let me know if you need samples
These are some of our favorites too!
A couple of weeks ago I had my daughters room professionally wallpapered and I’m disappointed with the results. It was a dark blue paper with white and gold stars to match her star/galaxy theme. Since the paper is dark, you can see the white lines for each sheet that was put up. I’m just curious if this is normal for dark wallpaper and a way this could have been prevented? Everything cost an arm and leg so it’s not something I’ll redo any time soon, I’m just curious if anyone has had similar results with dark wallpaper.
I have hung a lot of wallpaper in my time, Hannah! The walls should have been primed in the background color of your pattern. It’s just too hard to match the seams so perfectly that in some place the wall color will not show through. However, I have also used markers on occasion to “correct” my mistakes!
It’s definitely a very normal occurrence with dark papers. Hardly any deal papers are actually printed on a dark backing it’s always white and very hard to get around in some cases. The installer could have tried chalking off the edges previous to the installation. If you use a chalk pastel that matches the background color it will fill in the seams and calm your eye from seeing all the white. Maybe you could call your installer and check in?
You weren’t kidding. This is the ULTIMATE roundup. Thank you!
we don’t joke around here. 😉
Fabulous post. Such a well curated compilation of wallpapers!!
What a great resource! As an apprentice learning to hang paper I highly recommend working with a professional installer throughout the whole process. Especially if you are investing in a higher quality paper.
If anyone is looking for an installer the Wallcovering Installers Association is a great resource to locate an installer near you! https://www.wallcoveringinstallers.org/consumers/locate-a-wallcovering-installer/
I love spoonfower.com there is an insane variety that.
I’ve found some awesome stuff on eBay.
My current obsession is Ellie Cashman Designs dark florals. It’s stunning!
Oh yes we do love Ellie Cashman!
How many rooms is too many to wallpaper? Because I found a favorite for every room in my house! This was an awesome round up!
Having survived a horrific wallpaper removal process, I have to say that … I love wallpaper … just not on my walls. For all those who love the designs of great wallpaper but don’t want to have to put it up or take it down, and can’t afford to pay someone else to do it, I have a solution: Books about wallpaper.
There are some beautifully illustrated books about wallpaper, including these favorites:
1. The Wallpaper Book, by Genevieve Brunet.
2. Bitten By Witch Fever: Wallpaper & Arsenic in the Victorian Home, by Lucinda Hawksley
3. Chinese Wallpaper in Britain and Ireland, by Emile de Bruijn
4. And one I want, coming out in August: “Zuber: Two Centuries of Panoramic Wallpaper.” Looks gorgeous!
Wait…how could you leave out Schumacher?!
Beautiful options – my all time favorite is mind the gap International but then I do love the maximalist look….
Great choices – did you look at Perigold? Check them out too.
I love this post beyond words. You’ve saved me so much time! Almost too much to digest at once, but great to file away. Thank you!!!
Article original, bonne continuation 🙂
Thank you so so much for including us in this fabulous round up!
should add Drop it Modern
I would also add Kate Zaremba! https://www.katezarembacompany.com/
I need guidelines for picking wallpaper for our long hallway. Our home is a 1923 “Craftsman” that leans toward Mid century modern/traditional as far as decor goes. Any help in how to pick wallpaper for this hallway?
I’ve been searching for the right wallpaper for my new powder room for MONTHS. This post yesterday introduced me to Milton & King and I FINALLY pulled the trigger! Ordered the Palm Springs wallpaper this morning! Thank you thank you for this roundup.
The Lizzie Allen wallpapers look a LOT like the illustrations from an M. Sasek from the 1950s. She doesn’t appear to give him credit on her website. I love her wallpaper but wow, it seems like she copied very heavily.
She didn’t give him credit in an article on SurreyLife either…claims the figures are loosely based on family!!! But her changing guards are a straight up copy of Miroslav Sasek, so… Although she has designed the word ‘London’ across their belts so maybe she’s just “heavily influenced” 🙂
Still though, a cracking round up Team EHD!
Great list. My personal favorite and what we used is flavor paper. Beautiful though pricey!!
So honored to be part of this list! So many amazing artists. Thank you Emily Henderson for supporting our small wallpaper biz!
This is an amazing roundup 😉
would love to see a post on tips and tricks for HANGING wallpaper and how much it should cost for someone professional to do it. pros/cons of DIY vs a professional? the roundups are great but i like to see stuff in practice too!
