Where to Buy Wallpaper Online: A GuideANNA SPALLER


"Hearst Magazines and Yahoo may earn commission or revenue on some items through these links."

There’s something transformative and almost magical about wallpaper that makes us want to put the paintbrushes down and grab a squeegee. As you start your search, however, one of the main questions you'll likely have is: where to buy wallpaper? There are many retailers selling so many patterns (and not to mention types, from textured grasscloth and peel-and-stick, to non-pasted, to name a few), so how do you know where to look and what you should even be looking for? We asked textile artist Rebecca Atwood for some expertise on all things wallpaper for some guidance. “Laying down patterns on your walls provides a different backdrop for the furniture you place in the room. It creates space and depth,” she says, explaining what makes wallpaper special.

So, where do you go from there? How do you actually decide on a pattern with so many options out there? “The first place I would start is by imagining a landscape, or a few landscapes, that you love. How does it feel? What are the colors? Is it vibrant and layered or calm and textured?” Atwood notes. And if that fails, she suggests turning to nature, which, she says, “never fails to inspire.” Though being overwhelmed by options can definitely feel daunting, the one good thing about the very saturated market is that you will always be able to find exactly what you’re looking for. That said, if you need help getting started, peep our top brands below, which will surely kickstart your wallpaper journey.

Blossom Chinoiserie Mural

There is something so soft and romantic about a classic Chinoiserie wallpaper that we thought it may be best to start our list with one. Though you'll be hard-pressed to find cheap Chinoiserie, most of the ones you'll find out there are hand-painted on silk, making them astronomically expensive. So, when you happen to find something relatively affordable, be sure to snatch it up fast. This iteration comes in four soft shades, including a minty green (pictured), pale pink, creamy white, and a moody navy. The most common colors, however, are shades of blue and white, which harken back to ancient, traditional Chinese porcelain. This find includes three full-size panels.

Colorways: Blue, pink, white, and green | Application: Professional installation | Panel Size: 81" W x 120" H

Cassius Wallpaper Roll

If this bucolic dandelion-patterned print is speaking to you, get it now because two of the five colors have already sold out. One thing to note about this wallpaper: It's not peel-and-stick, but it also doesn't require professional installation. It's non-pasted, which means the installation process will take a bit longer than peel-and-stick panels would, but this makes for a much longer hold. According to Wayfair's easy-to-follow instructions, start by applying the paste to the back of your cut wallpaper strips. Then, lift the wallpaper and gently fold both ends, paste side inward. After leaving it to soak, apply the wallpaper against the length of the wall, and adhere it with a rubber roller press or a squeegee.

Colorways: Bone, light blue, and yellow | Application: Non-pasted | Panel Size: 56.4 square feet

Allon Peel-and-Stick Wallpaper

We couldn't round up our favorite wallpapers and not include a trusty peel-and-stick option for those of us who like the look and feel of wallpaper, but don't have the time or the energy to install it themselves. As its name implies, peel-and-stick is quite easy to do and the instructions are in the name: Simply peel the protective backing off and stick the panel to your wall, cutting it into panels as you go. This is one of our favorite options because, from afar, it almost looks like Venetian plaster.

Colorways: Blue Haze, gray, pink, Sand beige, Soft Sky, and Urban gray | Application: Peel-and-stick | Panel Size: 24" W x 108" H

Birds of Paradise Wallpaper

Nothing says paradise quite like the bird named after it. Like the previous pick, this one is also peel-and-stick, so if you get tired of it after a few months, feel free to simply peel it off your wall and start anew with another color or pattern. That said, with it's moody, dark tones, we can't imagine you'll get bored any time soon. If you're not so sure about it, start with just an accent wall.

Colorways: Navy | Application: Peel-and-stick | Panel Size: 246" w x 33" H

Herringbone Wallpaper

Though this sunny herringbone would look great in any room, we imagine it would shine brightest in a bathroom. Perhaps it's because the cool colors that almost look like water, or maybe it's the fact that, from far away, the pattern almost looks like tile. Regardless, this is a fun print that would liven up any space—powder room or not.

Eltham Wallpaper

If you're a bit consumed by the transparent beauty of this GP & J Baker print, you're not alone. The royal family are also big fans of the brand. In fact, GP & J Baker has been the proud holder of the late Queen Elizabeth II's royal warrant since 1982 in recognition of the massive supply of GP & J Baker fabrics and wallcoverings within the Royal households. The print itself is actually named after the district of southeast London that falls within the Royal Borough of Greenwich. So, if you're in the market for a royal-inspired refresh, now is your chance.

Floral Peel-and-Stick Wallpaper

This floral pattern also feels pretty English, but it's reading more countryside than city center. In fact, it's giving serious wildflower vibes. Plus, at $14 per roll, it's one of the most affordable on our list.

Pimpernel Wallpaper

Morris & Co. is another heritage English brand with royal connections. Founded in 1861, the artisans became a household name amongst London's elite after their work was elaborately displayed within London's St. James's Palace. Now, however, their elegant patterns, including this 18th-century-inspired one, are available to all.

Toile Removable Wallpaper

A bit more large-scale than the classic toile patterns may come to mind, this pattern offers a touch more modernity. It may come in only one color, but it's such a soft and easy-on-the-eyes green, that it's basically a neutral—meaning it pairs well with pretty much anything.

Colorways: Green | Application: Peel-and-stick | Panel Size: 2' L x 4' H and 2' L x 4' H

Cecelia Smooth Wallpaper Roll

There's a common misconception that wallpaper should be big, bold, and colorful, but it's actually meant to simply add another, perhaps deeper, level of visual interest than paint alone does. So, if you like the idea of wallpaper, but don't want something too aggressive, opt for a simple stripe. Hurry, though. It's already sold out in two of the four colors.

Colorways: Navy and teal | Application: Peel-and-stick | Panel Size: 56.4 square feet

Priano Wallpaper

As part of Serena & Lily's new summer collection, this beachy Priano wallpaper features a repeating pattern of blossoming vines in myriad colors. Personally, we're partial to the blue because nothing says coastal living like blue on white, but there are plenty of other colorways to choose from if you're looking for something a bit punchier.

Lace Peel-and-Stick Wallpaper

Don't get us wrong; we love a pale pattern as much as anyone, but there's something to be said about swathing the walls (or even just an accent wall) in a darker, more dramatic shade. That said, if you plan on doing this, make sure that plenty of natural light streams in because outfitting a room in a naturally dim space will make it look a bit smaller.

Colorways: Cream and Evergreen | Application: Peel-and-stick | Panel Size: 2' L x 8' W

Blooms Wallpaper

Artist Rebecca Atwood first painted this pattern to scale with India ink on a stretch of rolled paper. Meant to convey the slow movement of florals in blossom, this is easily one of our favorite ways to incorporate some gentle color into an otherwise quiet space.

Country Life Toile Wallpaper

French for "canvas," toile patterns often depict highly detailed pastoral landscapes and scenes from 18th-century France. The patterned reigned throughout much of 18th-century Europe thanks to Christophe-Philipe Oberkampf, a German industrialist who owned a fabric factory outside of Paris. More than 300 years later, toile is making a major comeback.
