Ranging from crazy colorful to somber and subtle, the new line of retro wallpaper designs by Studio Job founders Job Smeets and Nynke Tynagel will add depth to any room and a hipster cool feel. The design team raided its archive and combined them with newer drawings, icons, images and patterns to develop its new line of [nine-meter archives wallpaper collection](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bespoke-wallpaper) for NLXL. The beautifully crafted collection comes in seven different designs that include Industry, Labyrinth, Perished, Alt Deutsch, L’Afrique and Withered Flowers, and is made using non-woven paper with a matte finish. "The plain white wall behind a painting is an idea from modernism," says Smeets. "In the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, it was not uncommon to present art on very ornamented silk wallpaper. But let me put it another way: with this wallpaper you no longer need any paintings. Viewed in this way, per running meter, it is relatively cheap art." ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.8/10 - Popularity: 90% | Activity: 75% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Retro Wallpaper Designs:** There is a growing trend for vibrant and fun retro wallpaper designs that add vintage flair to homes. - **Non-woven Paper with Matte Finish:** The use of non-woven paper with a matte finish is becoming popular in the wallpaper industry, offering a unique texture and appearance. - **Archives Wallpaper Collection:** Creating wallpaper collections that combine archival designs with newer elements allows for a unique and diverse range of options for consumers. ### Who This Affects Most - **Home Decor:** The home decor industry can leverage the trend for retro wallpaper designs to offer customers a wider range of options. - **Wallpaper Manufacturing:** Manufacturers in the wallpaper industry can explore the use of non-woven paper with a matte finish to differentiate their products and cater to changing consumer preferences. - **Art and Interior Design:** The combination of archival designs and newer elements in wallpaper collections opens up opportunities for artists and interior designers to create unique and visually striking spaces. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Folk Art-Inspired Wallpapers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/backdrop.md) - [Vibrantly Bold Wallpaper Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/otto-studio.md) - [Psychedelic Hand-Painted Cabinets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/collection-iii.md) - [Commemorative Luxury Wallpapers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/diptyque-2.md) - [Digital-Themed Glitchy Visual Wallpapers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/glitch-wallpaper.md) - [Artist-Approved Intricate Wallpaper Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/printed-decors.md) - [Patterned Retro Flooring](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-newstalgia.md) - [Fragrance Inspired Wallpapers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wallpaper-collection.md) - [Marble-Patterned Interiors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/psychedelic-interior.md)
