30 Timeless Wallpapers You Won't Regret in 30 Years

Let history be your guide when making wallpaper selections for your home. Look back on the wallpaper trends that dominated previous decades and pay special attention to the styles that never really left the design scene. Case in point? Schumacher’s Xanadu Landscape, a pattern inspired by the hand-painted Chinese wallpaper in Queen Victoria’s bedroom in Brighton’s Royal Pavilion. This exotic paradise makes a sophisticated statement, and its large pattern makes it ideal for a formal living room, dining room or entry.

Don’t you feel compelled to walk up and touch these deep and dreamy blue walls? The rich blue hue comes alive through the texture of this grasscloth wallpaper. Recreate the same stunning dimension in your space by opting for a deep color and textural surface by investing in timeless navy sisal paper that, though pricey, never goes out of style.

Channel the energy of Elsie de Wolfe (known to many as America's first designer) by reaching for a big, bold print inspired by her rooms: Schumacher's Zanzibar Trellis just dares you to look away from its electrifying, jade-green geometry. First introduced in the '70s, the pattern has been a style juggernaut ever since (possibly because once it's up, you can get away with just about anything). Take a tour of this classicly dreamy home, below.

We’re heading up the fan club for buffalo check wallpaper. No, really. This bold plaid pattern is a top pick because it adds tons of character and charm to a space without appearing overwhelming or busy. Take a cue from this gray and white version — and Joanna Gaines, who designed it herself — and use the preppy pattern to dress up a hall bath or line the walls of your home study for a scholarly-chic design.
