It’s the season of deep colors, warm textures and rooms that feel like a warm hug, inviting you to stay awhile. The year’s enduring trends of rich hues and moody interiors go perfectly with the fall, and we’re ready to fully embrace it.
We’ve been flipping through our back issues, as well as those of our sister magazines BERGEN and MORRIS & ESSEX, for our favorite uses of bold, patterned wallpaper, and have put them together here for your inspiration. Grab a mug of something warm and seasonal and enjoy!

When Hillary K. Cohen had the chance to create a room in the Mansion in May showhouse, she let her imagination run wild. The bathroom envelops you in whimsical blue florals, creating joyful, youthful vibe.
The graphic wallpaper in the dining room of this home in Manasquan, a vacation retreat turned full-time residence, is the real star of the show. Marc Goldberg of Interiors Matter made sure every room had a moment of drama, and the geometric lines make the space feel “like art,” according to the homeowner.
Over in the Allamuchy township, designer Pamela Cooper paired classic style with playful touches to give the dining room the “wow” factor. Bold animal print wallpaper contrasts beautifully off a more traditional sideboard and mirror.
The bathroom in this new-construction ranch in Chester became a soothing retreat under the skilled hands of Jennifer Pacca, who added feather-pattered wallpaper to a room already flooded with natural light.
A young family’s Belle Mead colonial was a good size, but lacked personality. Enter South Main Design, who transformed the dining room with winsome wallpaper, brass fixtures and classic paneling. The result is the perfect balance of classic and cheeky.
Nothing wakes up a powder room like some wallpaper, and Julie and Darren China of Idea Space Architecture + Design proved that handedly in this South Orange project. Botanicals and deep colors add to the “jewelry box” feel.
