Rose patterned wallpapers have traditionally been one of the most popular mainstays over the years. We just can't say goodbye to them for long.They have graced English walls for generations and today can be found in traditional, shabby, vintage and yes, even modern interiors. While the style might be different than what graced grandma's walls, a floral wall featuring a classic rose motif still represents the cozy romanticism of yesterday, something the masses seem to be drawn to. I can't say I like all rose patterned wallpapers but there are some rosy walls that draw me in too. I have gathered some photos that will thrill traditionalists and hopefully entice the modern crowd to consider the new rose patterned wallcoverings.
Roses are old-fashioned, homey and romantic and traditionalists love them. The trick is knowing how to choose a pattern that doesn't look dated. You want to stay away from the 80's look and choose something a little more current. Even if the color palette is soft and pretty, modern rose patterned wallpapers features bigger and bolder roses. Your vintage look will still be enhanced by a selection like this one.
I think this rose patterned wall is fabulous and works really well with vintage and antique pieces. If I were starting over today and looking for something unique and over the top I would definitively embrace this look.
Rose patterned walls have always set the stage for a vintage, traditional style.....and they still can, just in a different way. The popularity of painted furniture and brighter color palettes will help to refresh a traditional style rose wallpapered interior.
Another example of how brightly colored painted furniture can team up with a vintage rose patterned wallpaper for a more updated look.
This fun rose wallpaper is a modern take on a floral pattern and proves that old fashioned roses can work in a modern interior whether used on all the walls or only one.

Murals are another trendy way to cover your walls in roses. If you are bold and not intimidated by the size of the florals, you can create some pretty stunning interiors.

Create a beautiful accent wall with an oversized rose pattern.
I like this colorful old world style wall covering with oversized roses and gold calligraphy. It reminds me of a huge oil painting.
Two perennial favorites, stripes and roses, but combined in a more modern way. The painted piece for vintage and the acrylic modern lamp pull this pretty eclectic look together.

English interiors were saturated with rose patterns. The trend today for the popular English County style interior is traditional looking, rose patterned wallpapers with larger roses as opposed to the smaller patterns of a few decades back.
An all-over rose pattern for your walls will always be a classic look if, (and that if is extremely important), you treat the room in a more updated vintage style and not make it a throwback to times past. Even if you choose antique furniture, add in some edge so you won't get the "grandma" effect.
This rose patterned background gives the room a touch of modern and chic while keeping it feminine and comfy.
For those who want a neutral rose inspired wallpaper, you have many wonderful choices. I love this grey and white version from Windsor Smith in an all-over pattern. Very feminine with a subdued elegance.
A soft greige all-over cabbage rose patterned wallpaper is a pretty choice if you are into neutrals.

I LOVE this rose wallpaper selection. It is traditional, soft, and feminine but the tone on tone pattern and neutral French, painted furniture make it classic and not dated.
A modern take on the traditional rose chintz wallpaper.
Many of today's rose patterned wallpapers are not as "serious" as paper in the past. The roses are more lively and whimsical but they can still help in creating lovely rooms.
Stenciling a wall in a mono rose design is another alternative if you are not interested in wallpaper.
For those of you that love the old fashioned vintage look, you can still enjoy wonderful rose covered walls. As you can see from this picture and the one below, this cottage style interior with it's rose and fern covered walls and accessories is on trend with today's interest in botanicals.
The fern motif keeps his space current as botanicals are a popular design element right now.
