We are working on a piece about where wallpaper is showing up in homes beyond the single accent wall that defined the last decade. Designers are using it on ceilings, in powder rooms, on the back of bookshelves, in laundry rooms, and more, and we want to hear how they’re actually using it.
I’d love to hear from interior designers, wallpaper specialists, and stylists on any of the following:
1. Where wallpaper is genuinely working in homes right now, which rooms or surfaces, and where you steer clients away from it entirely.
2. The patterns and scales you keep returning to, and what you’d steer a client away from even if they love it on the sample.
3. The wallpaper mistake you see most often—whether it’s the wrong room, the wrong pattern for the space, peel-and-stick where it shouldn’t be, or something else—and what you’d recommend instead.
4. How you decide between peel‑and‑stick and traditional wallpaper, and where each one genuinely belongs.
5. Whether the wallpaper revival is still building, holding steady, or already on its way out—and what you think may replace it if it fades.
