Vintage and Retro Wallpaper

Our vintage wallpapers are divided into further subcategories:

Vintage wallpapers of the 20s and 1930s

Wallpapers in the style of the 1920s and 1930s bring the luxurious designs from the Art Deco era back to your walls. Glamorous patterns of striking fan motifs, gold and silver elements and intense colours lend the walls the elegance of the Roaring Twenties. The beauty of this wallpaper era was rediscovered by successful series such as Babylon Berlin. Even though their motifs were already designed in the 1920s and 1930s, these vintage wallpapers can be excellently combined with contemporary designer furniture in living and dining rooms.
