The popularity of wallpapers has moved into the children’s domain. “Children are drawn to color and pattern, and wallpaper is a way to get the most bang for the buck,” says Bronxville interior designer Patti O’Shaughnessy. For those who are timid, she suggests selecting a two-tone paper or a paper in neutrals. “Illustrations are big this year, including a collection from my favorite children’s illustrator, Quentin Blake, for Osborne & Little. Hot-air balloons, birds, metallics, and ’60s retro designs are all big trends.” O’Shaughnessy and her assistant, Stephanie Richards, narrowed down their favorites to just seven.
