Wallpaper may be more of a commitment than paint, but it\u2019s also more impactful. For those wanting to make a room feel more homey\u2014and, yes, #cottagecore, #cozycore, #grandmacore, and #coastalgrandmother\u2014an overall leafy or geometric pattern is a good way to go. We ourselves are currently immersed in the vast design library of Bor\u00e5stapeter, Sweden\u2019s oldest wallpaper brand, in business since 1905.<\/p>\n

Located in Bor\u00e5s in southwestern Sweden, Bor\u00e5stapeter follows environmental best practices\u2014the paper comes from responsibly managed forests, its dyes are water based, rolls get shipped in recyclable packaging, and the facilities are powered entirely by renewable energy, plus the company runs its own water-treatment plant.
