‘Moody + Matchy’ by Sara Ray Interior Design
When we say printed, we don’t necessarily mean brightly colored. We love the more muted vine print featured in this bedroom design by Sara Ray Interior Design. Here, she doubled down on the use of the pattern by matching a pair of decorative pillows to the wallpaper.

Reminiscent of a sunny day, this bathroom design from Providence Interiors could infuse a little cheer into even the most stressful week.

‘Surf’s Up’ by Kate Figler Interiors
The colorful wallpaper print used by Kate Figler Interiors takes this playroom design to new levels of fun. The lucky kid who calls this playroom theirs is sure to be the envy of the neighborhood kids — and we’re a little jealous ourselves.

‘Modern Florals’ by Beth Haley Design
Proof that floral wallpaper can be deliciously modern, Beth Haley used a bold print as the backdrop for otherwise simple, clean lines. If not for the pop of hot pink stems that snake throughout the pattern, the color scheme could be considered neutral! And because the wallpaper is a work of art unto itself, the room required very few additional accessories.

‘Go Bananas’ by JL Design
Would you believe us if we told you this wallpaper is scratch and sniff? Well, believe it. This space was curated by JL Design for The Collective Nashville, a collection of Airbnbs. While we’re not sure scratch and sniff wallpaper will become a Southern staple any time soon, we adore this inspirational, fun-loving approach. Very ‘Willy Wonka’!

‘Animal Kingdom’ by Brad Ramsey Interiors
If you think you’re looking at another floral design, lean in a little closer. The pattern in this bathroom design by Brad Ramsey Interiors actually features monkeys swinging from vine to vine. How fun is that? Beyond the clever print, the room is decked out in neutrals, so it’s not overwhelming. It’s the perfect conversation piece!
