Are you looking to add subtle charm or a dramatic, colorful statement to your space? Serena & Lily wallpaper is a fabulous way to personalize any room with style and flair. Wallpaper is an incredible design tool that transforms a room, and Serena & Lily have elevated it into a true art form.
It’s funny how our tastes change and trends shift over time, isn’t it? There have been times in my years of homeownership where I wanted all the wallpaper to go. Immediately, in fact.
We’ve removed countless borders and wall treatments installed by previous owners in our homes over the years. We’ve even removed peel and stick wallpapers that we’ve installed ourselves!
Yet, I’ve come to fully embrace the bold, beautiful impact wallpaper can have. It’s such a unique and charming way to make a space your own.
I’m so excited to share my love for Serena and Lily wallpaper with you today!
Serena and Lily Wallpaper
In our lake cottage, we’ve kept some vintage floral wallpaper in a couple of bedrooms and added stunning Serena & Lily patterns to others. Their designs blend perfectly with our Coastal Modern Home Decor aesthetic, offering a little something for everyone.
While some rooms, like our Modern Coastal Living Room, benefit from a simple cream or white backdrop, others, like our bathrooms, are perfect for wallpaper’s playful personality.
In our Modern Bathroom, we’ve showcased a block print stripe wallpaper—a geometric yet soft and slightly feminine pattern. It’s a fresh, modern look that continues to earn compliments from guests who marvel at its beauty. It’s a fun surprise off the hallway and an instant conversation starter!
We’ve even wallpapered this bathroom twice, beginning with a grasscloth design before settling on this current favorite. (You can read the story of that transformation here.)
Recently, we updated our primary bathroom at the lake with Serena & Lily’s Bloomsbury pattern. It’s such a cheerful addition, and I couldn’t be happier with the result.
For our powder room in St. Louis, we also chose a Serena & Lily design, adding a touch of elegance to the smallest room in the house.
Wallpaper has the power to turn any space into a showstopper, and these patterns prove just that.
What to Consider Before Purchasing
Before purchasing Serena and Lily wallpaper, consider the following tips and guidelines:
- Consider the style of your room and home. Are you more modern, traditional, mid-century or cottage inspired? Let that overarching design style narrow down your choices.
- Smaller patterns can be more difficult to install. If this is your first time hanging wallpaper, choosing a larger pattern or design that’s easier to match at the seams might be a good call. Or, simply call a professional for installation!
- Grasscloth or paperweave might not be good for a bathroom or kitchen. The paper backing and material aren’t a good fit for high humidity levels.
- Measure once, twice… three times. you’ll measure and then multiply the width by the height, deducting for window and door openings, etc.
- Order one extra roll for mistakes and pattern matching.
- Look at swatches. This will give you an accurate depiction of color and texture.
- Purchase from the same dye lot in order to ensure you’ll receive a perfect color match across all rolls.
My Favorite Serena and Lily Wallpaper
Wallpaper adds interest to any space in your home. Use it in closets, small bathrooms, the back of shelving, or on all the walls of your bedroom or living room.
Serena & Lily Removable Wallpaper
This is the most exciting update in a long time! As of early 2025, we can now enjoy these patterns’ beauty in removable form.
This makes them an excellent option for renters, as well as any space where you’d like something a touch less permanent. They even have their best colors in removable grasscloth!

Pattern and Geometric
Geometric wallpaper is characterized by a repeating shape or line. This encompasses a wide variety of Serena and Lily wallpaper options, as it’s currently extremely popular in interior design.
Geometric wall coverings are often more modern, with cleaner lines and more artistic inspiration. They are a perfect fit for our vacation vibe in our lake cottage!
Sunflower
Our primary bath remodel features the Bloomsbury pattern, but it’s no longer available. This new sunflower print is the same feeling!
Luna Stripe

Granada

Priano

Grasscloth
Grasscloth wall coverings have been used for decades as a textural addition to various home interiors.
The term grasscloth refers to wallpapers that are made from the strands (hand-woven) of natural fibers, generally with an unpasted rice paper on the back.
The fiber options for this type of wall covering are varied and include jute, seagrass, hemp, raffia, bamboo, and more. They come in a wide array of colors and can even have printed patterns.

Paperweave
Much like traditional basket weave style of grasscloth, paperweave wall coverings add an incredible texture and depth to a room. The soft and subtle texture of paperweave wallcovering instantly adds warmth and interest to a space.
It is crafted from paper, offering immediate depth. Paperweave wall coverings come in a wide variety of unique patterns and colorways, too!
The blue diamond patterned paperweave in these images is called Martinique. Find the Cardiff paperweave options here, and the other paperweave wallpaper offerings here.

I love that bathroom/wall paper of yours, but we have never tried wallpaper that is not pre-pasted. Have you ever considered doing a post on how you did it? Or maybe a link to a source you found helpful in your project?
Thank you! I love your house/style so much!
Hi Kimberly!
This wallpaper was installed by a professional! It was worth it to us to ensure it was right.
However, we have hung our own paper many times, and we’ve had great luck with the peel and stick options. You can see one of them here: https://julieblanner.com/laundry-closet-ideas/
Enjoy, and good luck!

I just wanted a link to the exact wallpaper. Ugh!
Each and every one is listed and linked.
Hi, Julie: In your latest e-mail you had a discussion about wallpaper. Under the “Paperweave” description, you had three samples of paperweave. I love the middle one which looked like crosshatched straw. From what company did you get those pictures. I would like to explore paperweave in more detail. Thank you!
Hi Darline!
I’m sorry I’m just now seeing your message. I wish I could give you more specifics about which one that might be – they are all samples from Serena and Lily though! If you click through to the paper weave link, you’ll find all these options there!
Enjoy,
Julie
