Kelly Wearstler Wallpapers collection

Kelly Wearstler wallpaper: graphic pattern with architectural weight

Kelly Wearstler wallpaper is drawn rather than decorated. Wearstler is an American interior designer, and the bold, artistic hand she is known for runs straight through this collection. She works in a few clear registers here: free abstract drawing, geometry that has been pushed off the grid, and flat graphic contrast. Each one asks the rest of the room to answer it.

How the designs read on a wall

Graffito II is the pattern most people know on sight, graphic line work with an urban look that runs as a single gesture across a plane, so it wants an uninterrupted surface to sit on. District pulls the other way: geometric in structure, organic in execution, with enough play in the drawing that it never settles into a strict grid. Lyre is layered and rhythmic, which makes it the calmer choice for a room that already carries a lot. Hex is the structural one, a hexagonal repeat that puts measured depth into a flat surface. Stigma sits between those poles, expressive in the drawing with a restrained, luxe finish.

Building a room around a graphic repeat

Pattern with this much weight sets the terms for everything around it. In practice that means one papered plane and quiet surfaces beside it: a chimney breast, the wall behind a bed, the back of a dining room, or the four walls of a powder room where a strong repeat has nowhere to escape. Because the drawing carries the design rather than the color, these papers hold their own against gray and off-white paint, bare wood and brass. Our geometric wallpaper and graphic wallpaper selections show what else works at the same volume, and black wallpaper takes the contrast a step further.

Carrying the pattern into fabric and cushions

A design this graphic does not have to stay on the wall. The Kelly Wearstler fabrics collection sits in the same register, while geometric fabrics and geometric cushions let a repeat travel through a room without papering a second wall. All of the Kelly Wearstler wallcoverings we carry sit on one page.

Planning the order

Repeats of this size are worked out before anything is cut. Send us the wall dimensions and we will calculate the drops, mark where the seams fall and show what the pattern does at corners and around doors and windows. We work with these collections every week, and we will say so plainly when a design is fighting the wall you have in mind.
