The whole blank-wall-as-canvas thing? We believe it. Just as sofas, beds or tables invite decorative possibilities, so do the walls around us. That’s why we invite you to shake up your white space with patterned wallpaper – one featuring an exclusive Unison design crafted here in our hometown, Chicago.
We’ve offered screen-printed wallpaper designs for a few years and are now rolling out our first digitally printed option, Sailor. Perhaps you’ve already seen the design in our signature pillow cases, throw pillows and bedding. Clearly, it’s an everlasting nautical. But the mood is more “hello, serenity” than “ahoy.”
We’ve created Sailor wallpaper with the highest quality and versatility of use in mind. As with all of our wallpapers, we focus on simple geometric patterns in a neutral palette to look at ease in homes both modern and traditional, and within any room. It all comes from an appreciation of the clean and simple (case in point: our Grid design). And we also love a good artistic flourish, such the hand-drawn aspect seen in our Lattice design.
Why go digital this time? The type pattern and repeat of the design we’re working influences our printing method. With Sailor, it made sense for the stripes to run vertically. In order to avoid a break in the stripe, digital printing was best. Says our co-founder Robert Segal, “We’re excited about quality of digital printing, especially the paper grade being sturdy and eco-friendly. Being able to offer a quality product that challenges that perception is something we stand behind.”
Wallpaper is having a resurgence right now. And with good reason: When done right, it can really transform a space and allow for more personality then paint. It’s up to you how big you want to go. In some cases, wallpaper can be a statement-making focal point. At other times, it can be just a backdrop that sets a tone, without stealing the show.
We hope you love the latest addition to our wallpaper collection. Shop the new Sailor design here. We’re happy to send you free swatches, on request.
