Boråstapeter: Alvar Aalto, Nocturne in yellow and floral dream wallpapers
Swedish Boråstapeter continues to deliver both new wonderful wallpapers and old familiar patterns in new colors and new interpretations. Here are our favorites in four of the collections: Alvar Aalto's checkered M.I.T, floral Nightingale Garden, Nocturne in yellow, and lovely limestone-colored wallpapers.
Alvar Aalto M.I.T.
Alvar Aalto's design wallpaper M.I.T is part of the Scandinavian Designers III collection. Alvar Aalto worked as a guest professor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in the 1940s and designed the student house Baker House. The graphic pattern M.I.T originates from there. The M.I.T wallpaper is available in six different colors - ranging from light gray and beige to red, green, and black.
Famous Scandinavian Wallpaper Classics
The wallpaper collection Scandinavian Designers III is filled with beloved wallpaper classics designed by well-known Scandinavian designers such as Stig Lindberg, Arne Jacobsen, Viola Gråsten, and Gocken and Lisbet Jobs.

Stig Lindberg Fruktlåda
Danish designer Arne Jacobsen's graphic wallpaper Tassel has a strict pattern where Jacobsen combines his restrained design language with his love for plants. The wallpaper is available in three muted colors.
The sisters Gocken and Lisbet Jobs worked with fabrics and created delightful patterns that expressed joy in Sweden after the war. Gocken Jobs' design Ros och Lilja is a colorful Swedish fabric classic now available as wallpaper. It also comes with a light and dark base.
Swedish design icon and multifaceted artist Stig Lindberg's patterns can be found on textiles, porcelain, and in children's books. You have probably seen the blue cups with plum patterns, now as the wallpaper Prunus. The graphic pattern Fruktlåda (pictured above) was first shown at the famous NK department store in Stockholm in 1947, a detailed pattern with a retro feel. The wallpaper is available in three soft colors.
Old Wallpaper Favorites Make a Comeback
The wallpaper collection Vårt Arkiv gathers eleven timeless wallpapers from their large pattern archive. The wallpapers originate from different decades of the last century and breathe both fifties retro and seventies colors. The wallpapers are classics that fit in most homes.

Nocturne.
The wallpaper Nocturne has been a favorite for many in recent years. Now it comes in a yellow color, which can certainly give the beloved yellow Hip Rose some competition. We like Nocturne a bit extra because the pattern matching is so beautifully done; notice how difficult it is to find where the pattern repeating starts and ends. A skillfully made wallpaper, simply put!
