wingbud wallpaper

1748737-origpic-ffa989
nothing in design tugs at my heart strings quite like great print or pattern design- whether it comes in the form of a beautiful fabric, or a beautiful roll of wallpaper. and this morning, it’s the latter- courtesy of swedish designer lena hautoniemi.

like many swedish designers, lena finds her inspiration in the woods and fields of her native country. her latest collection of wallpapers, designed under the name wingbud wallpaper, includes a number of colorful patterns that have moved straight to the top of my “must have” list. most of her designs are painted by hand with a paintbrush or pen and have such a nice line quality to them. i’m current oohing and ahhing over the vivid orange and raspberry-colored designs above and below, but there’s plenty here for everyone.

Makes me want to wallpaper my kitchen, bathroom, bedroom, living room and closets.

Oh, wow. These patterns are simply amazing. I love the little accents of colour within the wallpaper, that’s so rare!

June 8th, 2009 - 12:18 pm

A-mazing and lovely.

what is the thing with wallpaper these days… is it really coming back?

June 8th, 2009 - 1:00 pm

Thanks for sharing. LOVE LOVE LOVE these. I’m totaly inspired now to wallpaper. Funny how 5 years ago I would have stripped this off my walls. Now I am drooling. Keeps things interesting.

Ooh man I can’t stop thinking about the Yellow Wallpaper. Especially the grey room with the blue paper, the overall swirl pattern looks terrifying. Or should I say… maddening?

June 8th, 2009 - 7:02 pm

June 8th, 2009 - 10:04 pm

stunning! this makes me want to wallpaper my entire apartment!

Vackert/beautiful. Feels like an international and contemporary Värmland-look!

Just stunning! Very intensively patterned but with an amazingly light feel to them. Colours are fab!

I love the idea of wallpapering one wall or corner of a room with a bold print like this. Lovely.

June 10th, 2009 - 4:33 pm

I’m digging the wallpaper’s faux texture, and bright colors of course.

I love these and YES wallpaper is coming back in a big way! It is now the main way to have a statement in a room especially with tight budgets. I prefer one wall being covered or it can become overwhelming. The things that can be done now are amazing!

Oh, great colors on first picture! Thanks for sharing.
