Return of Wallpaper

Ponti by Osborne & Little


We are having a love affair with wallpaper.  For years wallpaper fell out of favor because it was too traditional and overpowering when minimal was on it's way in.  Lately wallpaper has been making a comeback in a majorly fabulous way.  

At The Summer House we are recovering two of our walls in a funky Osborne & Little wallpaper called Ponti (pictured above.)  We love how it looks like corrugated metal.  You have to really touch it to see that it isn't three dimensional.  This wallpaper is a good fit for us because it complements our industrial space and gives us a modern vibe that we love.

Whether adding glitter to a traditional stripe, jazzing up with some fun colors, or creating modern patterns, wallpaper has come a long way.  We're building our collection so let us know if there is something you want to see.  Here are some of our favorites!


Etosha by Thibaut

Fitzroy by Osborne & Little

Foxglove by Osborne & Little.  My favorite flower.

Kirkos by Thibaut

Best in Show by Osborne & Little.  Adorable for a mudroom.

Mandara by Osborne & Little

Panthera by Osborne & Little.  Also a glittered print and so fabulous in person!

Pirandello by Osborne & Little.  An alternating glitter stripe makes this wallpaper pop.

Trifid by Osborne & Little

Zanetti by Osborne & Little.  Everyone is loving chevron right now so why not put this bold version in your powder room?
