Spoonflower is a fabric and wallpaper resource that I have known about for years but hadn't really looked at until this week. Two friends of mine are both looking for wallpaper for their little girls room and while I had some go to wallpaper sources to give them - I wanted to see what existed out there at a lower price point. Hence, the rediscovery of Spoonflower which sells wallpaper at $5/sqft for removable and $7.50/sqft for re-positionable. All of Spoonflower patterns are priced the same depending on the fabric type, wallpaper or gift wrap that you choose. You also can create your own design which discounts the price. They offer 2 types of wallpaper, 19 different fabrics and 1 material choice for gift wrap.
I would say the biggest draw back of Spoonflower, that I have encountered (I haven't ever ordered anything), is that their design library is not very well organized. There are a ton of designs to choose from but instead of being able to sort by pattern then color, each pattern and its respective color is listed individually and in no particular order. I also would make sure to order samples which seems super easy to do so that you can check color and material feel, weight etc. before placing a large order.
Below are three Spoonflower designers that have some great patterns available. Happy shopping!
Nouveau Bohemian are the designs of Esther Fallon Lau, an Australian artist who also sells her work on Society 6. Definitely a bit folksy but it works for me.
Holli Zollinger has a smaller selection of patterns which I appreciate. They are a bit retro, again a little folksy but use an updated color palette to freshen them up. She also has an Etsy shop where you can purchase pillows in her custom designed prints.
Andrea Lauren offers an insane amount of patterns that I would mostly use for kid spaces. Originally from the U.K. but now living in the states, all of her patterns begin with illustrations and hand carved linocuts.
