Bold & Beautiful – Artisan Wallpapers by Bowerbird

When it comes to transforming a room, few things offer the power and poetry of wallpaper. At Bowerbird Collections, our wallpapers are not just patterns — they are original artworks translated onto your walls. Handcrafted in Australia from paintings by Ellie Sweetman, every roll is a statement in creativity, sustainability, and soulful design.

Whether you're designing a sanctuary, creating a gallery wall, or simply wanting to infuse your space with art and story, our wallpapers deliver. Here's how.


Why Choose Wallpaper by Bowerbird?

Our wallpaper collection is unique because it bridges the worlds of fine art and functional design. We believe that the walls of your home should inspire, comfort, and uplift. That belief is woven into every brushstroke of Ellie’s paintings — and into every roll we produce.

Key features of Bowerbird wallpaper:

  • 100% vinyl-free for your health and the planet

  • Digitally printed in Toowoomba on FSC-certified paper

  • Extra-large pattern repeats with A+B roll format to avoid visual monotony

  • Durable and breathable, perfect for Australian conditions

  • Easy to install and remove — no steamer required

These aren’t just design details — they’re intentional choices that honour your home, your values, and the natural world.

What Makes Our Wallpaper Different?

We’re not trend-chasers. We’re art-makers.

Each Bowerbird wallpaper starts as a hand-painted piece by Ellie Sweetman. These paintings are scanned and digitally refined to create a seamless, flowing pattern. We make deliberate decisions about colour, scale, and repeat to ensure the end result is captivating.

Our A+B roll system means no small, repetitive pattern — just organic variation that feels expansive and immersive. This large-scale format avoids the clichés of traditional wallpaper and brings depth and originality to your walls.

And it’s not just beautiful — it’s built to last. Our wallpaper is:

  • Printed with water-based inks

  • Completely vinyl-free (no off-gassing or plastic smells)

  • Tear-resistant and breathable 

  • Sourced from FSC-certified forests

Our wallpaper is not mass-produced. It's made to order, with care and craft.

Chinoiserie Brushstroke Wallpaper (Blue)

Chinoiserie Cutout Wallpaper (Green + Stone)

Organic and layered, this version uses negative space and silhouette to create soft lines and flowing botanical forms.

Each print is available in A and B rolls, which must be installed alternately to complete the design’s full repeat. One A+B set covers 12 sqm.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between A and B rolls? To create our flowing designs, we print alternate panels called A and B. You hang A, then B, then A, etc. This completes the full repeat and avoids visible pattern repetition.

Can I install the wallpaper myself? Yes — especially in small spaces. Paste-the-wall installation is beginner-friendly. But for full rooms or awkward angles, a professional is worth the investment.

Do you offer samples? Yes, you can order samples directly from each product page or email us for help.

Can I use it in a bathroom or laundry? Yes! Our wallpaper is breathable and non-absorbent. Perfect for moisture-prone areas when applied properly.

Is your wallpaper environmentally friendly? Absolutely. Our wallpaper is vinyl-free, printed with water-based inks, and sourced from FSC-certified forests. It’s safe, sustainable, and made to last.
