Not sure what to do with your blank walls? Wallpaper is a great place to start. It’s majorly back in style, and a far cry from your mother’s harvest apple border and stripes. Plus, the options available now are nearly limitless. In addition, the color palette set by wallpaper can help you pull other elements of your room together, resulting in a designer-worthy space that will bring joy and inspiration to your home.

12 Best Places to Buy Wallpaper

I often get asked about the best places to buy wallpaper and I’ve used a TON of it over the past few years. Today I’m sharing more than a dozen of my favorite sources with you. Below are my favorite spots to shop wallpaper and lots of links for more information. Happy pattern hunting!

My No. 1 piece of advice for wallpaper is to not be afraid of patterns! Do your research and spend time looking at and figuring out what types of patterns you love. The one you choose should ultimately be one that you want to spend a lot of time with. Even small spaces can benefit from a jolt of pattern and color (see these ideas from another favorite source Common Room).

If you’re nervous about committing to a wallpaper, or you are a renter you can try many of the peel-and-stick options available. My favorite source for peel-and-stick wallpaper is Chasing Paper.
