Tapettitalo – Vintage Finnish Wallpaper

By: Holly Becker, decor8

There’s this little wallpaper shop in Helsinki that stocks the gorgeous Finnish patterns of Pihlgren + Ritola, the shop is called Tapettitalo (the House of Wallpaper in Finnish). Pihlgren + Ritola is not only a producer of stunning vintage wallpaper, but it’s Finland’s oldest working wallpaper manufacturer.
That’s got to mean something. People like ‘em.

Part of their website is in English, so we’re in luck, and it’s quite educational so I suggest flipping through it to learn about the history of wallpaper in Finland. 

Some of my favorites include: Cherry Tree #69 212, The most beautiful of the Skylarks #64 673, and my total favorite – Night of the Skylarks #69 659. This would be beautiful in a long hallway leading into a sunny yellow room.

How to order: Tapettitalo will provide you with wallpaper samples and they’ll even ship to the USA as well as Estonia, UK, Sweden, Norway, Iceland, and Germany. If you live elsewhere, you’re out of luck (jut kidding!). You can contact them directly, perhaps they’d consider shipping to you in another location.

They accept wire transfer, major credit cards (Visa, Mastercard) and checks.
