Contemporary Modern Vintage Wallpaper

Contemporary & Modern Wallpaper and BorderThis collection features contemporary wallpaper and borders with clean shapes and simple layouts, with plenty of nostalgic flavor mixed in. Mid-century swirls, brush-stroke prints, and pink-and-green kitchen patterns coexist with quieter neutrals, allowing you to add a modern touch to a room without giving up vintage-inspired style.

Geometric and Abstract Contemporary Wallpaper

A large portion of this group consists of circles, diamonds, lattices, chevrons, and Greek key motifs. Abstract brush-stroke motifs give movement without fussy detail, while tulip prints provide a softer floral feel.

Colors range from beige, taupe, and gray to more vibrant combinations like pink and teal, orange and purple, or blue and bronze.

Modern Shapes With Vintage Roots

These patterns have crisp lines and are described as “contemporary” and “modern” with vintage roots. “Vintage” refers to their retro and midcentury elements. When combined, these patterns work in both directions: a neutral geometric print may brighten a room filled with vintage furniture, while a mid-century swirl can add period charm to a plain, modern kitchen.

Sidewalls, Borders, and Finishes

Discover a wide selection of full sidewall patterns, primarily sold by the double roll, along with an extensive range of borders. Some designs have textured surfaces, while others feature metallic or pearlized finishes in bronze, gold, and silver. Many patterns are classified for kitchens, while softer neutrals are suitable for living areas and bedrooms.
