Wallpaper is having a moment. Over the last few years, we’ve seen the design element transform unadorned walls into something magical. An all-out designer’s dream, covering walls from top to bottom, lending pattern, texture and color to otherwise simple spaces. I too have fallen for the unmistakable charm of a toile and stripe now and again, (I’m trying to convince my husband to cover our dining room in row 2, option 1) but, I get it’s not for everyone. I think the safest bet when it comes to wallpaper is to choose something that will read as a neutral background in the space, isn’t too loud, and accents a space, rather than making it all about the wallpaper. That way, it becomes an additional element of the design, not the design itself. I also tend to lean toward blues and greens, because I feel like they are the most natural colors to bring into spaces while still feeling neutral. I’ve rounded up my top 12 below, and you’d better believe, if I could cover my house in each of these I would.
