wallpaper





We're thinking about wallpaper for the wall with the two windows (the window with the blue curtain is in the kitchen). It's hard because we don't want it to be too decorative if that make sense to anyone. And not to dominant or pale either. These are nice.

Dandelion Clocks from Sanderson
Pascal from Sandberg
Autumn Woods from Louise Body
Vallmo from Lim och Handtryck

  1. They are all so interesting. I guess it depends on how much pattern you will be comfortable with in your room. Maybe a good idea would be to buy a yard of each and tape it to your wall and see how it feels to walk into the kitchen the next morning.

    My personal favorite is the blue-flowered one but maybe because it feels slightly antique.

  2. Hi Jim!
    I love that one too. And it is a hand printed version of an old pattern so you were right about the antiqueness.

  4. What an incredibly inspiring blog you have! I love the last pattern, it seems so soft, warm and bright at the same time.

  6. Jag älskar Dandelion Clocks! Vilken lycka att hitta en plats för den i sitt hem. Om någon vecka flyttar jag från mitt vardagsrum tapetserat med Cole and Sons ljusgrågröna Rajapur, till en lägenhet med enbart målade väggar. Hur ska det gå? Jag känner redan tapetseparationsångesten komma smygande och får nog leta upp en ny väggförhöjare snart. Ska bli spännande att se vad ni väljer, lycka till! /Emmie Ps. grattis till uppmärksammandet på Desire to Inspire Ds.

  8. All beautiful samples. I have such clear memories of the wallpaper from my childhood home, it's amazing how the patterns stay with us. I still love wallpaper patterns.
    The blue light flowers is my favorite for that space too, because it has a subtlety and yet that blue would be so beautiful with the changing skies.
    Best wishes with whichever one you chose!

  12. All four look nice to me... oh, the agony of choice. Whatever you pick or don't pick, it is sure to look swell.

  13. Thank you all so much for your sweet comments and the much needed feed-back!! I love the Dandelion Clocks too but I think I would love it more on a smaller area. Vallmo is an old favourite of mine. I've had it in mind for many places in my home. The only thing I am sure of right now that is that it wont be Pascal.
    jgy: I have memories like that too. Of wallpaper and textile. It's precious.
    emmie: Lycka till med flytten!! Ska bli spännande att följa. Och tack, det var roligt det där med Desire...
    Kristina: Thank you for the tip about Fine Little Day. Wonderful wallpaper there.

  15. Jag gillade den sista bäst.
    Hade man gått innanför ramarna så ser jag den första tapeten som den som skulle passa bäst i förhållande till färg och stil på ert hem. Därför röstar jag absolut på den sista, diskret, vacker och i ert hem skulle den också bli spännande! :) (hoppas att du förstår hur jag menar :))
