And just like that…I can cross a major business goal off the list: my first-ever exclusive wallpaper collection is now live and available for purchase online! I partnered with Fancy Walls to bring this dream of mine to life (see my past DIY wallpaper partnerships with the brand here), and I’ve been working with their team since last year to come up with four designs in eight colorways that you and I can use to add style and personality to our homes.
Each of the patterns was created based on my love for classic mid-century design, and are intentionally printed in neutral tones to ensure that they will suit evolving home styles for decades to come. There’s nothing worse than spending time and money putting a certain wallpaper pattern up on your wall only to realize that it doesn’t match your aesthetic later on. So, I kept this first collection minimal in color, that way you can swap out alternative décor that’s easier to change as the mood strikes you, like wall art, furniture, and textiles.
One of my favorite parts about this process was naming each of the four core wallpapers. There’s the “Branching Bonsai” design that comes in both tan and cream options, which I set out to create because of my love for classic Japanese design elements seen so often in mid-century homes. Then, our two grasscloth-inspired wallpaper options, the “Draper Dash Stripe” and “Retro Talbott Faux Grasscloth,” the latter being named for our previous mid-century ranch home.
Most special of all, though, is my “Paisley Layne Botanical,” in honor of the family who lived here in our current home before we did. We imagine that the lady of the house first put up the lovely original botanical wallpaper that’s in this home’s entry and back bedroom (seen pictured below) around the time that the house was built back in 1966, and we absolutely love it. Sadly, the vintage paper has started to deteriorate, so I included a slightly modernized, larger scale version of the same exact print in my wallpaper collection as an homage to her impeccable taste way back when. The “Paisley Layne Botanical” pattern comes in three neutral options for you to choose from based on your style—a blush color, tan, and cream. The square sample you see below pressed on top of the original botanical wallpaper from the ’60s is our new cream “Paisley Layne Botanical” wallpaper.
