Wallpaper Is Having a Moment — These Are Nicole’s Current Obsessions

If you’ve been holding out on wallpaper, let this be your sign: it’s back, it’s bold, and it’s better than ever.

At R. Nickson Interiors, we’re seeing wallpaper move beyond the accent wall and into main character energy. Nicole has curated a lineup of her current favorite patterns—some wild, some subtle, all ridiculously stylish. These are the designs she’s reaching for when a space needs that extra layer of edge, polish, or personality.

Here’s what she’s loving right now:

Phillip Jeffries – Cobblestone Cloth
Structured and grounded, this textural wallpaper makes a statement without saying a word. Nicole loves it in entryways or transitional spaces where subtle elegance matters.

York Wallcoverings – Metallic Cork
This one is all about glam meets grounded. The shimmer catches the light beautifully while the cork texture keeps it earthy.

Schumacher – Self Portrait by Backdrop in Painter’s Stripe
A bold, artistic wallpaper that acts like a modern mural. The split-tone brushstroke design brings a cool edge to any space.

Milton & King – Snake Charmer Wallpaper
A cheeky twist on classic black-and-white. This snake print is graphic, unexpected, and totally unforgettable. Powder room perfection.

Schumacher – Hand Combed Plaster in Green Leaf
Texture lovers, meet your match. This tone-on-tone green wallpaper looks hand-crafted and adds movement and depth without being loud.

Schumacher – Burnell Butterfly in Ivory
Painterly butterflies, florals, and a soft, layered palette make this one pure magic. Nicole loves it for kids’ rooms, secret closets, or powder rooms that deserve a little wonder.

House of Hackney – Phantasia in Noir
This moody floral brings high drama with gothic fairytale energy. Nicole loves it in dining rooms, reading nooks, or even a rebellious guest bath.

Phillip Jeffries – Seaside Jute in Sunset Rose
Soft, dimensional, and serene. This warm-toned texture reads like a woven blush fabric and brings a romantic calmness to the walls.

Schumacher – Maestro in Dark Arts
Painterly, brooding, and rich with emotion. This one feels like stepping into a midnight gallery. Use it where the lighting can play with its depth.

Schumacher – Leaping Leopards in Sand
A classic Nicole go-to. This small-scale animal print is endlessly versatile—fun in a laundry room, fabulous in a stairwell, or styled behind open shelving.

Why It Works:

Wallpaper is more than a trend—it’s a design tool. It can define a space, shift a mood, or tell a story without saying a word. Nicole’s current favorites reflect what she’s craving most right now: layered texture, playful prints, and bold design that doesn’t apologize.
