At Laura U Design Collective, wallcoverings are one of our favorite ways to inject a space with personality, texture, and story. Whether we’re designing a moody powder bath, a serene primary bedroom, or a lively family room, the right wallpaper can elevate a room from simple to striking. Over the years, we’ve curated a selection of trusted wallpaper brands, each of which has its own signature style and strengths. From hand-painted murals to grasscloths to performance vinyls, these are the designer wallpaper lines we return to again and again.
Eight Designer Wallpaper Brands We Often Turn to at LUDC
Phillip Jeffries
From humble beginnings in a New Jersey garage with just ten rolls of grasscloth, Phillip Jeffries has grown into one of the world’s most respected names in luxury wallcovering and interior designers regularly turn to them. Today, their innovative studio stocks over one million yards of wallcovering so that designers can draw from a vast and inspiring palette of natural textures, rich textiles, seamless papers, and high-performance vinyls.
What We Love About This Brand
At Laura U, we are continually drawn to brands that blend artisan craftsmanship with practicality and exceptional quality. Phillip Jeffries does just that. Their commitment to texture-forward design and a robust, ready-to-ship collection makes them a favorite of our firm and our clients. Whether we’re specifying handwoven grasscloth for a serene bedroom or a performance wallcovering for a high-traffic family room, Phillip Jeffries just makes sense.
Where You’ll Find Phillip Jeffries in the LUDC Portfolio
You’ll find Phillip Jeffries wallpaper designs throughout the LUDC portfolio, but our University Place project is a shining example of how stunning the brand’s textural wallcoverings can be. We selected Phillip Jefferies Saint Germain Hemp II Gold on White grasscloth wallpaper for the formal living room and Phillip Jeffries Vinyl Woven Sisal wallpaper in Ecru Way for each wall of the dining room. Each wallpaper collection from Phillip Jeffries truly makes our design dreams come true!
de Gournay
There may be no wallcovering brand as beautiful, fantastical, romantic, and intricate as de Gournay. Known for their exquisite hand-painted wallpapers, de Gournay has long set the standard for artisanal wallcoverings that feel like fine art. Rooted in a deep knowledge of historical design, traditional techniques, and meticulous craftsmanship, the brand boasts a diverse portfolio ranging from Chinoiserie gardens and Japanese landscapes to embroidered wallcoverings and scenic panoramas.
Each piece is handcrafted by trained artisans who use time-honored materials like silk, linen, and metallic thread. These wallpapers feel heirloom-worthy from the moment they’re installed. Whether you opt for wallpaper featuring dripping wisteria from their Japanese and Korean collection or an accent wall adorned with swinging monkeys, de Gournay is iconic.
What We Love About This Brand
At Laura U, we are constantly seeking materials that bring both narrative and nuance to a space; de Gournay delivers just that. Every wallpaper, fabric, and porcelain design is imbued with artistry and emotion. We especially love their embroidered wallcoverings, which add texture, movement, and even acoustic benefits to a room.
Duchateau
Founded in 2006 in Southern California, DuChateau has reimagined what it means to combine luxury and architectural precision in interior design. Though celebrated for its European-crafted hardwood and luxury vinyl flooring, the brand has also made a sophisticated shift into walls and ceilings. They now produce hand-finished wall panels and original wallcovering collections.
What We Love About This Brand
At Laura U, we’re drawn to materials that pair form and function. Duchateau’s wallcoverings and wood panels have architectural depth, tactile richness, and a sculptural quality that feels intentional and refined yet never tired. Each piece is thoughtfully crafted, often by hand, and their focus on natural finishes, acoustic performance, and dimensional design makes them so incredibly special.

Though not quite a wallpaper, you’ll find one unique Duchateau wallcovering in our River Oaks Modern project. The Inceptiv Tresses woven wooden wall panels in the home’s primary bedroom are from Duchateau. They were designed by native of Mexico City and architect Joe Langenauer.
Holly Hunt
A true pioneer of American luxury interiors, Holly Hunt redefined what a showroom and a modern design brand could be. Since opening her first gallery-style space in Chicago’s Merchandise Mart in 1983, Hunt has championed clean lines, exceptional craftsmanship, and an elevated, architectural approach to furnishings and finishes.
Today, her brand encompasses everything from furniture and lighting to rugs, leather, textiles, and wallcoverings. We have opted for their wallcoverings, fabrics, and trims in many of our projects.
What We Love About This Brand
At Laura U, we gravitate toward pieces that feel timeless, textural, and intentional. Many of our projects have a transitional interior design style and Holly Hunt wallcoverings suit that aesthetic perfectly. Holly Hunt’s unwavering commitment to form, proportion, and luxurious materials resonates deeply with how we think about space and story.

Elworthy Studio
Founded by California-based artist and designer Kate Miller, Elworthy Studio pairs soulful artistry with sustainability. Drawing from natural forms and urban textures, Miller’s hand-rendered motifs are created with ink, rust dyeing, charcoal, and watercolor. We love the moody, organic sensibility these designs bring to wallpaper and fabric.
Each is produced using eco-conscious methods and printed to order in the U.S. on FSC-certified paper or natural grasscloth using non-toxic, water-based inks. With a palette that is equal parts earthy and refined, Elworthy Studio’s wallpapers feel both deeply personal and quietly bold.
What We Love About This Brand
There aren’t many wallpapers that can be both bold and elegant, but Elworthy studio’s wallpapers balance raw, hand-drawn imperfection with a soft sophistication that translates beautifully into both modern and traditional interiors. We also love their unwavering commitment to sustainability. From biodegradable grasscloths to low-VOC inks and domestic production, every choice they make reflects integrity and intention.

Milton & King
Known for bold prints and a playful, contemporary edge that few other brands can capture, Milton & King delivers statement-making designer wallpaper. With roots in Australia and production facilities in the U.S., this brand produces everything on demand, which means fast delivery and reduced waste.
Their expansive collection spans cheeky geometrics, whimsical botanicals, modern murals, and everything in between.

Whether you’re going for daring or delicate, Milton & King offers such fun, unique designs. (And if you loved The White Lotus, their Piper Nooooo wallpaper is a must-see.)

These designs draw from classic British motifs while embracing a contemporary sensibility that works well in transitional spaces.
