A lovely chinoiserie design from Secondhand Rose.
Here at domino, we're all a bit wallpaper-obsessed. We've tracked down a few sites that sell wonderful vintage patterns. Browsing around these sites can be fun but a bit of a treasure hunt—you may have to plow through pages of gaudy designs before you find something sweet. Remember also that the store may not have enough stock of the pattern you choose for your needs. (For a rough estimate, visit our calculator). Also, if you're going vintage, consider hiring a pro to install it. After all, the supplies are extremely limited—and you won't want to waste one fabulous inch.
P.S. Don't forget to calculate shipping costs, which can be pricey when coming from a European site.
