What are preppy wallpapers?

Preppy style is a classic and refined fashion and lifestyle aesthetic characterised by a clean, timeless look with an emphasis on traditional and collegiate elements. When it comes to preppy wallpapers, several iconic elements contribute to this sophisticated aesthetic:


  • Classic Tartans and Plaids: Timeless and traditional, tartan and plaid patterns are common in preppy wallpapers, reflecting a sense of heritage and elegance.
  • Gingham Patterns: This chequered pattern, typically in two contrasting colours, adds a touch of casual charm to preppy wallpapers, perfect for creating a cosy and inviting ambiance.
  • Geometric Patterns: Preppy wallpapers often feature geometric patterns like houndstooth, chevron, or lattice, adding a touch of structure and sophistication.
  • Bold Stripes: Crisp, well-defined stripes in contrasting colours, often in combinations like navy and white or red and green.
  • Nautical Motifs: Sailboats, anchors, and other maritime symbols evoke a sense of coastal living, contributing to the preppy style's classic charm.
  • Pastel Colours: Soft pastel hues, such as light blues, pinks, and greens, are prevalent in preppy wallpapers, creating a calm and sophisticated atmosphere.
  • Chinoiserie Designs: Elegant and intricate chinoiserie motifs, often depicting scenes inspired by Asian art, contribute to the preppy style's eclectic and well-curated look.
  • Whimsical Prints: Playful prints featuring elements like bows, anchors, or animals add a lighthearted touch to preppy wallpapers, balancing the overall sophistication with a sense of fun.

These iconic elements collectively create a preppy wallpaper style that exudes a sense of refinement, tradition, and a touch of whimsy, making it a timeless choice for interior design. Read on as we share some of our favourite preppy wallpapers!
