Modern and Contemporary Wallpaper
Modern and contemporary wallpaper is pattern made for the way we live now: clean lines, fresh colour, graphic shapes and textures that feel current. It covers everything from bold abstracts and geometrics to soft watercolour swirls and classic motifs redrawn with a lighter hand, and it suits living rooms, bedrooms and hallways alike.
Harlequin are especially strong here. Silhouette, from Idyllic, is a modern take on a classic print with a contemporary tree line, and Defined Momentum continues the graphic mood. Sanderson's Truffle, in Arboretum, takes its pattern from the cross section of a truffle, and Clarke & Clarke's Breegan Jane collaboration includes Pokot, with animal inspirations and a dimensional design.
Galerie's The New Design Book has Graphic, large vertical swirls in a soft, blending watercolour style, while the Gotain x Boråstapeter Wallpaper Collection sends stylised sweet peas climbing in airy vertical lines. A S Creation's Michalsky 6 is another good place to look for a fresh, modern feel.
