Wallpaper goes in and out of fashion. Right now, it’s enjoying an “in” moment. 

There are wildly creative designs coming from studios all over the world. Some of the best take us on a journey to far-flung places both real and imagined.

Londoner Nina Campbell’s Fontibre collection for Osborne & Little is inspired by the travels of her great- uncle, watercolorist Robert Hello Hutchinson Keightley. Her Keightley’s Folio is a gallery of his small landscape paintings, punctuated by little rosettes. Barbary Toile depicts a troupe of mischievous monkeys gamboling around the Rock of Gibraltar.

Matthew Williamson, also of London, found inspiration for his new collections in pre-revolutionary Cuba and the Amazon. Tropical motifs meet lush colors in wallpapers that are vibrant and evocative.

Flamingo Club has a retro feel, with pink flamingos strutting among orchids and ferns against a turquoise background. A trip to Costa Rica led to the creation of Williamson’s Arici paper, on which playful parrots perch and swoop, their brightly hued wings brushed with gold. Big cats prowl through a forest of peacock feathers on Leopardo, a print with a 1970s vibe. (matthewwilliamson.com)

Beastie Boy band member Mike Diamond and designer Vincent Ficarra of the company Revolver New York collaborated on a design for Flavor Paper called Brooklyn Toile. It incorporates Diamond’s favorite memories of Brooklyn, featuring vignettes of Coney Island, the elevated subway and rap artist Notorious B.I.G. (flavor paper.com)

The Australian company Milton and King’s Funky collection of wallpapers depicts city life around the world, in far from conventional ways. Cheeky, colorful illustrations give us a sky-top view of giant robots battling between Tokyo’s skyscrapers; discos and firemen’s cookouts light up the streets of New York City; imps ride the London Eye.

German designer Katja Behre, based in London, takes us in a different direction: a dreamlike journey into surreal worlds.

In Les Voyages Fantastiques and La Terre a La Lune, characters in vintage photographs find themselves on faraway worlds, leaping from rocky promontories or boating on celestial seas. Behre says she and her design team were captivated by Jules Verne’s stories. (ellipopp.co.uk)

Finally, at Anthropologie, Louisianan artist Rebecca Rebouche brings us into her Enchanted Forest. It’s a whimsical wood where butterflies are the same size as hot air balloons and trees don party hats. (anthropologie.com)

Crafting your own wands creates some magical photo opportunities. Partygoers show off their creations in the foyer of a Colorado Springs victorian while paying homage to several classic scenes throughout the Harry Potter series on Sunday, May 29, 2016. Photo by Stacie Scott, The Gazette
