Brownstone Boys x WallPops Wallpaper Collection

We’ve been dreaming up this project for a long time, and we’re so excited to finally share it with you, our very first wallpaper collection, created in partnership with WallPops! It’s completely renter-friendly, featuring peel-and-stick wallpaper that’s easy to apply, remove, and love, perfect for anyone who wants to bring a touch of old New York City charm into their space, no matter where they live.

If you’ve followed our renovation adventures over the years, you know that preserving the history of Brooklyn’s brownstones is at the heart of everything we do. Every molding, every banister, every bit of plaster tells a story, and now, those stories live on the walls themselves.

Two men stand by a wooden staircase with several rolls of patterned wallpaper propped up behind and laid out on the floor around them.

Designs Rooted in Real Discoveries

What makes this collaboration so special is how authentic it is to our work and our world. These aren’t generic city-inspired patterns. Each design in the collection is inspired by real brownstone details we’ve uncovered during restorations, a visual reflection of New York City’s layered architectural heritage.

The collection includes 11 peel-and-stick wallpapers across five distinct patterns, each one telling a story of New York’s past and present:

Toile de New York: A hand-drawn toile featuring some of our favorite city landmarks, the Statue of Liberty, the Brooklyn Bridge, the Domino Sugar sign, reimagined with the elegance of traditional French toile.

A small bathroom with patterned wallpaper, a wooden vanity with a white sink, a curved mirror, a wall-mounted light fixture, and peach-colored trim.

Brooklyn Delft: A modern take on classic Delftware, celebrating stoops, pigeons, and iconic city scenes like the Washington Square Arch.

A kitchen corner with a farmhouse sink, brass faucet, marble countertop, and patterned tile backsplash from a stunning wallpaper collection, plus a wall shelf for glasses and mugs and a large window with a garden view.

Brownstone Blooms: This pattern is especially dear to us, inspired by an original 19th-century print we actually uncovered during a brownstone renovation. It blends architectural forms with soft, romantic florals, honoring the craftsmanship and beauty we find hidden in these homes.

A black door with glass panes and a brass handle opens to an outside view; inside, there is red patterned wallpaper and geometric tile flooring.

Townhouse Stripe: A linen-textured vertical stripe accented with delicate vine details, echoing the earthy, timeless palette of the city’s rowhouses.

Built-in shelves with a small globe, dried flowers in a vase, ceramics, a framed picture, and a pigeon figurine against vertically striped wallpaper and white tile.

For us, this collaboration is more than just wallpaper, it’s a way of honoring the history we get to touch every day. Every pattern, color, and line is inspired by the city we love most and the craftsmanship that built it.

As we like to say, it’s a love letter to New York City.

The Brownstone Boys x WallPops Wallpaper Collection is available now through WallPops.
