The Newest Wave of Wallpaper Launches Is Giving European Villa Vibes

It’s easy to get lost in the never-ending stream of home improvements: TikToks promising DIYs you can complete in under an hour (good luck), MasterClasses on refinishing furniture (scary and fulfilling), and a new “color of the year” popping up every other week. But if there’s one thing that we always keep our eyes peeled for, it’s new wallpaper. Creative brands and artists from all corners of the design world have made it easier than ever to find a color or motif that will put a big old smile on your face. To help you narrow your search, we pulled together 16 fresh collections that caught our attention so far this year.

Backdrop x Xavier Donnelly

If your dream house is an abandoned Italian villa, but your real home is actually a builder-basic apartment, Backdrop has good news for you. The Los Angeles–based brand just released its collaboration with artist Xavier Donnelly, who also happens to be the creative director of hotelier and design firm Ash. With Backdrop’s help, he translated his original, fresco-style paintings into large-scale scenic murals that depict skies filled with luminous stars, nymphs, and comets.

Farrow & Ball’s Purnon Papers 

Come June 13, Farrow & Ball will release panels inspired by 18th-century patterns uncovered during the restoration of the historic Château de Purnon in France. Making the collection extra-authentic, the sheets were created using traditional production methods such as roller-block and flatbed printing to replicate the look and feel of the original versions. 

Calico x Colin King

Nothing screams abandoned European villa like limewash walls. But if you don’t want to deal with the mess of mixing the paintlike mixture, you can shop Colin King’s collection for Calico, which depicts torn edges and faded plasters. 

Tempaper x She She

Stemming from the lush gardens of Parc de Bagatelle, Tempaper & Co.’s new La Vie Fleurie peel-and-stick wallpaper collection by She She is rich with roses, poppies, and pansies.

Chasing Paper’s Heritage Collection

In celebration of the brand’s 10th anniversary, it released a slew of designs rooted in classic motifs (stripes, small-scale botanicals) that we’ve seen all our lives “but done in a more modern, fresh way,” per the company.

Emma Hayes Textiles

Departing from the European castle trend we’ve been seeing lately, Emma Hayes’s collection channels the landscapes of her native New Zealand. Unlike more traditional floral wallpapers, these large, overlapping leaves read like abstract art. 

RuPaul x WallPops

Drag Race fans have a new way to go all in on their favorite show. RuPaul teamed up with the peel-and-stick wallpaper brand to create glam patterns for splashing up your space—think: animal-inspired prints and bold houndstooth. 

Liza Pruitt

From playful tennis rackets to colorful trout illustrations, there’s major range in Liza Pruitt’s debut line. There are three different application options: a traditional nonpasted design, a woven peel-and-stick treatment, and a textured peel-and-stick version. 

Rachel Antonoff x WallPops

Look closely at Rachel Antonoff’s collaboration and you’ll find hints of French toiles and portraiture, but the whimsical assortment is also chock-full of her signature food illustrations, too. 

Calico Wallpaper

In February, Calico added seven new colorways to its Aurora collection: anew, burnish, dive, flush, opal, orchid, and pumice. Each one is inspired by hues found in the sky as the day passes.  

Chasing Paper x Chango & Co.

New York–based design studio Chango & Co. worked with Chasing Paper to release an eight-piece collection that spans peel-and-stick, traditional, Type II vinyl, and Type II faux grasscloth. A handful of the prints feature a similar whimsical stitch design, so even if you want to use multiple iterations in different rooms, they’ll all visually speak to each other.  

Annika Reed Studio

The artist and designer translated the joy of a night out into a six-part collection called Dancing Queen. Each one has a narrative, like Wobble, which showcases a playful scene of stripes meant to give off energy akin to walking into a spontaneous party. 

Alykhan Velji x Rollout

If you’ve dreamed of having a mural on one of your walls but aren’t ready to make the commitment (or you’re renting), we’ve got an idea. Designer Velji teamed up with Rollout to create four designs that only look hand-painted.

York Wallcoverings

At the High Point furniture market this spring, the company released a slew of new collections, including its third collaboration with Rifle Paper Co., which expanded its line with wallpaper trims inspired by the climbing vines and roses found in the English countryside.

Emily Isabella x Hygge & West

Hygge & West teamed up with artist Isabella for a second time to bring two new designs that complement her previous collection (plus a few new colorways for the first set of motifs). The inspiration this time around? The flora and fauna surrounding her home in New York’s Hudson Valley.

Liz Morrow x Spoonflower

Once upon a time, artist and renovator Liz Morrow created a graphic black and white mural that set Instagram all abuzz. Lucky for her fans, she worked with Spoonflower to turn the design into a peel-and-stick wallpaper.
