I think a whole room full of a pattern tends to look too busy, and I’d probably get tired of it after a while.  Just as well since I live in an apartment and can’t mess with the walls. Regardless, I love looking at the beautiful art wallpapers offered by Bradbury & Bradbury.  They have reproductions and adaptations of designs ranging from Arts & Crafts to Victorian to Art Deco to Modern. Their blog is interesting- lots of good stuff about historical wallpaper and interior design.

I particularly love these:

Moonlight Cyclos – “This interlocking circle motif was inspired by the design work of the great Deco-era designer Emile-Jacques Ruhlmann.” (I seem to be really into circles lately, and I always love silver!)

Victorian Iris Frieze- “The Iris Frieze is adapted from the work of designer/illustrator Walter Crane, and was one of the first patterns of the Victorian era to foreshadow the coming of Art Nouveau, a movement which owed much of its earliest inspiration to the original genius of Crane.” (I don’t like most of the Victorian wallpapers- too fussy. But this one is nice. I always love purple and green together).
