From quiet textures to statement-making graphics, nothing transforms a space like wallpaper. At our Atlanta showhouse, the designers used 35+ different wallpapers ranging from textured grass cloths to scenic reveries. Everyone seems to be considering these beautiful backdrops so we’ve gathered a collection of stylish wallpaper ideas for entry halls, living spaces, dining rooms, kitchens and bars, bath and powder rooms, even dressing rooms and home offices. Our editors have looked back through the pages of FLOWER and gathered more than 100 photos of wallpapered spaces along with their pattern names and colorways where available, to help inspire your wallpaper imaginings.
