About Boråstapeter

Founded in Borås, Sweden in 1905, Boråstapeter has been producing wallpaper from its Swedish manufacturing facilities for more than a century. The brand is renowned for its commitment to design integrity — working with both celebrated Scandinavian designers and maintaining an extraordinary archive of historic patterns that span folk art, Art Nouveau, mid-century modernism, and contemporary minimalism. Many of Boråstapeter's most beloved patterns were created by icons of Swedish design including Stig Lindberg and Lisbet Jobs, whose work defined a golden era of Scandinavian decorative arts. Today the brand continues to produce wallpapers that feel both timeless and deeply rooted in place — wallcoverings for homes that value beauty, simplicity, and the quiet pleasure of well-designed everyday objects.

Iconic Boråstapeter Patterns

Several Boråstapeter patterns have achieved the status of design classics, beloved across generations and around the world. Berså, designed by Stig Lindberg, features brilliant leaves arranged in elegant stripes — one of Sweden's most recognised patterns and a defining example of mid-century Scandinavian graphic design. Fågelbo, designed by Lisbet Jobs, is a poetic spring garden print featuring blooming irises, bird nests, and fluttering butterflies — lush, narrative, and deeply charming. Haga features exquisite floating water lilies in an Art Nouveau aesthetic — graceful, curvilinear, and enchanting. Travertine takes inspiration from the Italian metamorphic rock, creating a textured, earthy wallcovering that is moody and sophisticated. These patterns and many more from Boråstapeter's archive represent some of the finest examples of decorative wallpaper design in Scandinavian history.

What's in the Boråstapeter Collection

The Boråstapeter range spans several distinct design families. Botanical and floral wallpapers — including the brand's celebrated garden and nature-inspired prints — are among its most beloved categories, rendered with the restrained, poetic quality that defines Scandinavian design at its best. Stripe wallpapers in soft, harmonious palettes offer versatile, room-spanning designs that feel tailored without being rigid. Textured and stone-inspired wallcoverings like Travertine add architectural depth and organic warmth. Geometric and folkloric patterns draw from Swedish folk art tradition — structured, rhythmic designs with a handcrafted quality. Soft tonal and near-solid designs in the brand's signature muted palette provide the quietest, most atmospheric options in the collection.

The Boråstapeter Colour Palette

Colour is one of Boråstapeter's greatest strengths. The brand's palette is built around the tones of the Swedish landscape — soft whites and warm ivories, dusty blues and sage greens, warm terracottas and earthy ochres, muted greys and gentle blush tones. These hues are designed to interact beautifully with natural light, creating rooms that feel open and serene throughout the day. They coordinate naturally with linen and neutral fabric, beige and neutral wallpaper from other collections, and the natural materials — wood, rattan, wool, and stone — that characterise Scandinavian interiors.
