When it comes to creating a home that feels collected and lived-in but still fresh, modern wallpaper is one of our favorite tools. It’s a way to bring shape, movement, and a little bit of boldness to your space without it feeling overwhelming. At Painted Paper, we lean into designs that speak quietly but carry a strong presence. These five prints are made to anchor a room and start a conversation.
Whether you’re reimagining a hallway, brightening a study, or adding personality to a breakfast nook, each of these wallpapers brings something fresh to the table.

Mosaic Harmony
This one reminds us of handmade tile or an artist’s sketchbook brought to life. The geometric shapes feel graphic, but the soft edges and painterly texture give it warmth. Mosaic Harmony feels modern without trying too hard—perfect for a cozy entryway or kitchen that wants a little polish.
Soren
Soren is where nature and art meet. The sweeping shapes feel almost like windblown leaves or shadows cast across a wall. There’s movement, but it never feels busy. This is a great choice for a dining room, hallway, or any spot that could use a little subtle drama.
Mirren
Mirren is soft and sculptural. The curved lines create a flow that draws your eye across the room. It’s modern and minimal, but still warm. We love this one for bedrooms, bathrooms, or even a quiet corner that needs a bit of texture without too much fuss.
Lillian
There’s something timeless about Lillian. It feels botanical, but it’s not your typical floral. The lines are clean, almost architectural. This pattern works beautifully in rooms where you want structure and softness at the same time—like a reading nook or a well-worn hallway.
Ashmoore
Ashmoore brings a sense of motion to the wall. The broad strokes and layered shapes feel hand-painted and intentional. It’s bold but still grounded. Use it in a living room or office where you want to make a statement, but not steal the show.
Your home deserves something original
Modern doesn’t have to mean cold. These patterns bring a grounded beauty to your space and prove that fresh design can still feel inviting. If you're ready to bring a little edge into your interiors—with warmth and intention—we think you’ll love what you find.
