New Classics: Woods Wallpaper by Cole and Son
The popularity of this soothing forest-themed wallpaper shows no signs of waning
Houzz Contributor. Hi There! I currently live in a 1920s cottage in Atlanta that I'll describe as "collected."
I got into design via Landscape Architecture, which I studied at the University of Virginia. I've been writing about design online for quite a few years over at Hatch: The Design Public Blog.

I still remember the first time I saw "Woods" wallpaper. It was in a small picture in Domino, and I immediately cut it out and started plotting which room would be best for it. Since I am very disorganized, I only got as far as talking with some supplier in Philadelphia and then never found a wallpaper hanger (at the time, the wallpaper was so unpopular that the biz had become all about removal, not hanging). Bottom line: I have no "Woods" in my house.
I digress; it's been crazy watching how popular this wallpaper has become. In fact, if someone wrote a thesis about the current resurgence in wallpaper's popularity, I bet they would track it all back to "Woods." See how designers are using it every room of the house.

| This beautiful dining room borrows its soothing feel from the forest, with its light mossy upholstered chairs, matching ceiling, and wall of "Woods." |

This kitchen's mid-century modern feel is made a lot more interesting by the addition of this paper. There's a fun play between all of the wood surfaces, the views of the trees through the windows and the gray-and-white image of the forest on the paper.
The white on black version of this paper makes a powerful graphic statement in this small powder room. Also, its vertical orientation accentuates the height of the room.

The wallpaper offers the eye a place to rest in the large contemporary open floor plan of this loft.
Side Note: A flat screen floating in the trees seems like fodder for some sort of crazy post-modern poem or something, doesn't it?

| The pattern works in a totally different type of entertainment room, in this case a very fun retro one with a lot of patterns happening and, most important, a rockin' Star Trek TNG pinball machine. |

The imagery of trees is a great contrast to the overall industrial vibe of this loft's hallway.

| Slender trees are just the right adornment for this narrow wall that separates the dining space from the kitchen. |

"Woods" is a cozy choice for a powder room in a Vermont farmhouse.

Moving upstairs, this clever person has bedecked the stair risers in "Woods."

| An accent wall behind the headboard is the best way to use this paper in a bedroom on a budget. The pattern works really well with a pop of color, such as the bright blue comforter seen here. |

This paper is also a wonderful choice for a child's room. Here it provides a great backdrop for a mix of brightly-colored patterns and a stuffed animal collection.

While neutrals are most popular, "Woods" comes in quite a few color options. This coral version is available at Anthropologie, while others ranging from a soothing purple to an intense magenta can be viewed on the Cole and Sons site.
