The cyclical nature of fashion and design trends means that the wallpapers that were so popular a few decades ago are finally reemerging as a popular and desired way to transform walls beyond paint. As this blog post from Collector’s Weekly covered back in June, wallcoverings are no longer considered dated, tacky, or a cheap way to decorate. Wallcoverings have finally reached their true potential and are finally considered by interior designers and their clients to be in the realm of good taste.

Wallcoverings of course include high-quality paper but now are made of textured materials such as linen, damask, velvet, wood, woven grass, and even cork. The market for artisan wallpapers, including hand-printed and hand-painted, has also been on a considerable upswing in recent years and now numerous businesses boast specially curated collections of wallcoverings.

There are many great online places to source and purchase great wallpapers like Wallpaper Direct, Perigold, and Finest Wallpaper to name a few. However, Studio Designer users can also find great wallpaper directly on the Vendor Portal and enjoy the convenience of adding wallcoverings directly to projects when signed onto the platform.

The list of Studio Designer vendor partners below offer a remarkable variety of wallcoverings and wallpapers that can be directly added to your projects. They are all listed on the Vendor Portal and users can use the Studio OneClick icon to add a wallcovering to a project.

Wallcoverings certainly deliver patterns, textures, and even murals that expand a designer’s ability to transform a space beyond simply using paint. In this post, we explore a few selected wallcoverings from Studio Designer’s Vendor Partners.
