| Flavor Paper x Andy Warhol = fine art on your wall. |
By Kate Mooney, Metro
In a rut? Adding a fresh coat of paint —
or opting for a brand new color — is always a good way to liven up any
space and, by extension, clear the cobwebs from your head. But what
about experimenting with wallpaper? It’s less messy and time-consuming,
and you get to add a pattern instead of just a color. From removable
swaths you roll on yourself to brighten up a small space, to large
murals that transform an entire room, here are three wallpaper companies
where you can find prints and patterns that tickle your fancy.
Flavor Paper
[post_ads]This Brooklyn-based company creates both digital and screen printed
wallpapers, with over 150 designs to choose from. You can custom design
your own, or select from categories like “floral,” “geometric,” and
“funky.” If you’re filling a big space, opt for a mural, which starts at
80 square feet minimum. If you’re looking for something less permanent,
EZ Papes might be more your speed. They come with a water activated
paste so all you have to do is dip the prints in water and roll it on
the wall. (They’re water strippable for easy removal). Don’t miss the Andy Warhol x Flavor Paper collab. And there’s even scratch ‘n sniff, people.
Jumanjii on Etsy
Etsy is a great resource for independently-designed and affordable
wallpaper. We like the shop Jumanjii, which boasts bright and colorful
”jungle-themed” nature prints like banana leaves, blooming cactus and
coconuts. It’s all removable and self-adhesive — peel ‘n stick — so you
can take it down at any time. Sizing starts at 20 by 48 inches ($37), if
you want to add a swath of color to a small space. You even have the
option or ordering washable wallpaper.

Nottene
Philly-based design studio Nottene
specializes in hand-drawn screen-printed papers, which look more like
illustrations than prints. From gold-inked constellations to a rendering
of different-style homes done in ballpoint pen, the work is subtle and
varied. You can request a custom design as well. Available to order as a
sample, (8 by 10 inches, $6), print (18 by 24 inches, $50) or by the
roll (27 inches by 15 feet, $175).
