New Floral Wallpaper

We’ve been fans of Ashley Woodson Bailey’s dark, moody flower photographs for years. So, we were excited to find out that she created a collection of six photo-based wallpapers, which launches today. Wouldn’t they look stunning in a bedroom or teeny tiny bathroom?

A former floral designer who taught herself photography — starting on her iPhone — while surrounded by get-well flowers after a car accident, Ashley has a deep love for natural shapes (she compares stems and petals to ballerinas’ legs and tutus) as well as design. “Wallpaper has always been intriguing to me,” she says. “It tells such a story about the person whose home it hangs in.”

Thoughts? Aren’t they lovely?

P.S. 10 pretty wallpapers and an amazing rainbow bookcase.

So stunning! I’ve known of Ashley Woodson Bailey’s work since she donated a piece to the Art Auction for the nonprofit where I was working. The wallpaper is a genius move. Thanks for sharing!

Those wallpapers are so beautiful and mesmerising! They would look great as a feature wall with solid coloured furnishing!

Stunning! I completely adore the “Dutch Love” print but worry that even for a small space the price would be so high given that the design requires a very specific repeat for correct alignment. Killing me at $14/sq ft, especially given the waste that would come with that proper alignment. But just wonderful design…. maybe worth it… one day… love this for an entry hall… xox

The design is gorgeous, but I wouldn’t cover a whole wall with it, cause it seriously gives me the chills. Reminds me of Stephen King’s mini series Rose Red for some reason.

OH my goodness, I just poured over Ashley Woodson Bailey’s flower photographs on her site – they are incredible! I adore statement wallpaper (http://www.superfluousfabulous.com/2015/04/on-master.html?m=1) — I think this floral paper is stunning. I’d love to put this in my walk-in closet!

I LOVE these wallpapers. It’s almost like they are coming out of the wall. I love that they are refreshing take on wall paper….something different then what we usually think of when we think wallpaper.

They are taste specific with a dynamic personality. Its like looking at them thinking…Hm? They aren’ t my taste but I do like looking at them.
I see the first wallpaper on a bedroom feature wall, and ceiling to create the feel of a canopy.

Whoa what a statement! I have to say these are very refreshing. Does it feel to anyone else that a lot of home tours are starting to look a bit similar? I’d love to see an entire apartment styled around this sort of wallpaper.

They are gorgeous, but I reckon they’d make a small room feel quite claustrophobic – maybe a feature wall.
