Five years ago when I launched this little collection of wallpaper, I had no idea that some of it would still be around now. Some designs come and go and are meant to have a short shelf life. But one of the first patterns I designed for my own company—Petal Pusher—has become a classic Oh Joy pattern and our best seller in the wallpaper category. We recently refreshed it with a few new color ways like blush and gold (so dreamy) and a more subtle whisper-like pearl (shown above).
And, it's also now available in a few of the classic colors at Anthropologie! Here's a look (below) at all the ways people have been designing their homes with the wallpaper…
A cool stairway by @alyssadkent.
A great dining room by @hunted_interior.
A modern bedroom via @hyggeandwest and @lynneparkerdesigns
…and the beginnings of more to come by @inhonorofdesign.
Finally, a couple rooms designed by Emily Henderson include the dark grey version Petal Pusher behind an open bookshelf…
…and the classic cream and gold version used wall-to-wall in my own living room! My life was so different five years ago when I first drew this pattern. So when I see it around the web, it's this crazy-cool flashback of a time in my life that lives on in people's homes forever.
P.S. I love seeing these photos, so if you have our wallpaper, please share by tagging your photos on Instagram with #ohjoywallpaper.
Beautiful pattern, love the gold and white!

These look really pretty Joy. I am not a wall paper person, but i am so tempted to buy the gold one and try it out 🙂
Lovely. Feminine and simple and elegant.
I love the dark grey and gold for accents. Stunning!

This is beautiful! Can’t wait until I own to use it…or in the meantime, make some self-adhesive/removable for renters!!!
Hi Carolyn!
I actually rent too and have wallpaper in two rooms of my house ;P
Luckily my landlord was okay with it.
But we do have removable tiles!

This is such a beautiful pattern and I love all of the new colours it’s available in! I’m glad this one ended up being a keeper and sticking around 🙂

I didn’t realize this was a wallpaper designed by you, Joy! I love it, every time I see it, in every colorway, and I want it in my house somewhere. Congratulations on designing a pattern that continues to be beloved after 5 years (and likely many more).
Oh fantastic!!! Thanks!
So crazy that means I’ve been reading your blog for at least 5 years! The gold foil version just kills me.
Isn’t it moments like these that make being an artist so worth it?
I love seeing it in all these different homes! It’s such a bold pattern, but feels so diverse when you see it in all these different settings! I think the gold on white will always be my favorite, bu the white on white is pretty slick too!
I am obsessed with the dark grey version – so awesome that something you didn’t think would have a long shelf life is going so far!

Its pretty awesome that you have created a classic design. Did you mean for it to be this way when you created it? Or did you simply create it.
Thank you!
I just created it. I didn’t intend for it to be classic or not. It was just a pattern that I drew at the time and loved as a wallpaper design 😉

Oh so pretty! I never knew you had a range of wallpapers! I would love the gold one for my new house! It looks incredible! You are so talented, Joy!
