An Emerging Design Trend: Homes with Accent Wallpaper 

by Cecilia Kleiner 09/15/2024

 

Whether bold or understated, wallpaper adds color, character, and style to any house or home. 

Wallpaper is back in vogue. It’s not your grandmother’s wallpaper: Gone are the cabbage roses and fussy Victoriana of yesteryear. Contemporary wallpaper transforms. It changes the play of light, instantly creating mood and atmosphere, raising or lowering the visual temperature of any room.  

Today’s interior decor space is awash with handcrafted, curated wallpapers, from Liberty of London, Farrow & Ball, and F. Schumacher & Co. to newer brands such as Barneby GatesMind the Gap, and House of Hackney, whose playful modern designs lend a touch of nostalgia to any house and home. Velvet wallpaper is also having its moment, thanks to the British heritage brand Morris & Co’s luxurious Wardle Velvets collection, inspired by William Morris’s original archive patterns.  

Wallpaper can be bold or understated, and applied in unexpected places, in an alcove, a stairwell, even a ceiling. And for those who can’t commit to a pattern, there’s even removable wallpaper, with an array of elegant designs from Tempaper & Co.  

Here are unique and beautiful wallpaper designs in four luxury homes.
