Striped Wallpaper
Craving contemporary wallpaper rather than Grandma's florals? British designer Neisha Crosland launched her wallpaper collection in 1994 after working for notable wallpaper company Osbourne & Little. While her hallmark style embodies dynamic colors and oversized designs, we love the simple, 3-D look of her two-toned Beaded Stripe. Contemporary through and through, the pattern comes in seven colorways.

Tip: If you thought Grandma's floral wallpaper was way ahead of its time, check out Secondhand Rose. They have a huge selection of vintage wallpapers from the 1860s to the 1970s.

Buy: Beaded Stripe, about $100/yard at Neisha Crosland; search for stockists or order through an interior designer
