5 Favorites: Leafy Wallpaper Patterns

Admired lately: leafy wallpaper patterns, which add a verdant feel to an interior (especially welcome in spaces without a lot of natural light). Here are five favorites:

Above: Marthe Armitage’s papers are hand-printed to order in fanciful patterns featuring flora and fauna and bucolic country scenes (including Oakleaf, shown above). Available from Hamilton Weston.

Above: UK artist Neisha Crosland’s Cactus Paisley Wallpaper depicts a “prickly pear climber with leaves like sea horses.” It’s available in a range of colorways; the one shown is Marrakech Blue.

Above: Swedish company Sandberg’s Raphael wallpaper pattern was inspired by 17th-century French tapestries. In the US, Sandberg wallpapers and fabrics are available through the Scandinavian Design Center.

Above: The LA stylist and designer Estee Stanley papered a wall in Willow Boughs, a classic William Morris pattern available at Wallpaper Direct, in her Hancock Park home.
