TRADITIONAL:

Traditional wallpaper imbues deep color, incredible texture, and eye-catching patterns. You’ll likely see wallpaper that features classic, time-honored designs and patterns that draw inspiration from historical eras. Its elegance and sophistication make it a popular choice for those looking to create a warm and inviting atmosphere with a touch of nostalgia. Some visual patterns traditional wallpaper might include are damasks, florals, stripes, toiles, paisley, and intricate geometric patterns.

We gravitate towards traditional floral designs that make a strong visual impact, and those capable of making a bold statement in any space. Here are five we absolutely adore.
