2. Ladies wallpaper, Flavor Paper
Flavor Paper’s award-winning Femme Power collection lives up to the brand’s “not your grandmother’s wallpaper” maxim (unless your grandmother happens to be an ultra-cool proto feminist). This print by designer Katie Stout brings out the softness of the original pastel watercolor while capturing each figure’s playful details in all their glory.

5. Armonía wallpaper, Sarkos
This hand-painted wallpaper, called Armonía (the Greek word for“harmony”), channels the earthy energy of the Brooklyn-based design studio that created it. It elicits the sensory experience of a seaside, from the softness of the waves to the silkiness of beach pebbles.

7. Echo wallpaper, Wolf-Gordon
