Blue Floral Wallpaper

Towards the end of the 19th century, wallpapers began to be increasingly tailored to the various functions of rooms.

Large floral patterns became popular and remained a fashionable choice well into the 20th century.

This is in contrast to the lighter shades commonly used in the adjacent parlor.
