"Hearst Magazines and Yahoo may earn commission or revenue on some items through these links."
The trend for papered walls began in the 16th century as decorative patterns from the east became an exotic fascination to western cultures. Today, wallpaper is more accessible than ever from big box stores to small artisanal brands. Whether you are looking to add a bit of texture to a room with a grasscloth wallcovering or create a twist on an iconic look, you no longer need the designer trade secrets to access a wide range of iconic wallpaper designs.
While it's easier than ever to buy wallpaper online, it's important order a swatch first to make sure the colors are what you need for your space. Consider the fact that every website has different requirements: Some will allow purchases by the square foot, while others require a minimum number of rolls to be purchased. Most importantly, always double- or triple-check the quantity you need and include overage. Pattern matching can create a lot of waste, and colors can vary in pigment if hand-printed or painted.
Here, our style and market editors share some of their favorite places to buy wallpaper online.
Chairish
From high-end designer wallpaper to vintage rolls, Chairish is an excellent source for patterned and mural wallpaper, especially if you're looking for a one-of-a-kind find.
Plus, you'll find a number of high-end brands on the site, such as Sister Parish (the brand's Dolly pattern in light green is shown here), Italian wallcoverings brand Officinarkitettura, Schumacher and more.
Tulip Ticking Stripe
Designed with a distinctly modern bent, Chasing Paper offers brightly hued wallpaper from bold florals to fine geometrics in both traditional papers and peel and stick. The brand's competitive pricing and thoughtful collaborations with artists, designers, and other creatives—such as the one from Jenni Yolo featured here—make it standout.
Faux grasscloth and matte performance vinyl are some of the brand's more unique offerings, ideal for a wide range of spaces that include playrooms and powder rooms.
Farrow & Ball
Farrow & Ball uses its richly pigmented, water-based paint to produce wallpapers at their Dorset factory, using sustainably sourced paper. Each roll is finished with a layer of glaze that creates a durable, wipeable surface that is designed to last for centuries.

Anthropologie
From tapestries to toile, Anthropologie's wild, wonderfully curated selection of wallcoverings is sure to impress. From House of Hackney (pictured here) to fashion brands like Lingua Franca, there's a design to delight every wallpaper enthusiast.

1stDibs
We love 1stDibs for a lot of things—like vintage furniture we cannot get anywhere else and incredible bespoke rugs—but the unique retailer also has an exceptional selection of wallcoverings. Murals (like this incredible one from Paul Montgomery), silks and more are conveniently available on 1stDibs.

Wallpaper Ordering Tips
While exploring our expansive collection of wallpaper offerings, there are several factors to consider:
Make sure you order a swatch before you buy your paper to ensure that it is the color and pattern that you want.
Measure everything to make sure you know how much wallpaper you will need. Order about 25% more wallpaper than what you've calculated to account for mistakes. You may even want to order more than that if it's a large-scale pattern.
Order all your wallpaper at once because, like fabric and yarn, color differentiates between dye lots, and you want your entire space to have the same variations in color.
A skilled wallpaper installer will be your best friend. While it may be tempting to try a smaller project, a professional will give you the best results.
