This Vintage Car Wallpaper is another quirky wallpaper from Dutch designers Studio Ditto, whose Vintage Plates Wallpaper we mentioned a while back.
This wallpaper features various toy vehicles (cars, camper vans, trucks and tanks), but rather than shiny new toys, these are old ones that have clearly been played with and in the process, taken a bit of a battering.
The wallpaper costs £120 per roll from Catkin Collection.
Interior design company Turner Pocock has joined forces with artist Catherine Cazalet and together they have produced some fantastic wallpapers including this Cricket wallpaper from their English Sports series.
The design consists of a very simple drawing of a bat and ball, but arranged so as to create a pleasing geometric pattern. It is available in the natural colourway pictured here with a cream bat and a red ball or with white outlines on a teal background. Tribute is played to tennis in a similar style.
The wallpaper is available to buy from Turner Pocock Cazalet, priced £60 + VAT per roll.
Cole & Son has been producing wallpapers for over 300 years, so you would expect the company to have a pretty decent archive. It has – and the new Frontier collection of wallpaper is sourced from it.
According to the company, the new collection is based on a bygone era of 'exotic travel and discovery'. All the archive designs have been re-coloured for the modern market and all are incredibly eye-catching designs.
The one above is typical. It's called Tropical Birds and is an original 1950s design by Una Lindsey – those birds available in a range of colours from off white to emerald green. if you want a roll, it retails online for £65.
Here's some paper bound to introduce some sixties fun into your home, Jam Jars wallpaper from Beware the Moon.
Okay, jam jars aren't normally known for their high-tech looks, but here the shape of the jar has been abstracted, giving it a Pop look which outshines its humble inspiration. The surface of the paper reflects lights, walls and other features of the room to produce a striking look that's luckily more space age/less the tin foil episode of Spaced!
A roll measures 56cm x 10m and costs £76.50.

For something slightly more unusual for your walls, take a look at Gina Pierce's History Maps wallpaper.
We've featured her bags and textile designs before, which use layers of old maps to create a striking look. This wallpaper relies on exactly the same effect – the overlaid old maps giving a sense of the layers of history of a place. Add to this effect a choice of suitably aged colours: it's available in either grey, parchment or pink.
The wallpaper is sold by the metre. Contact her through the website for more information on pricing.

Dupenny have teased us before with their designs based on Burlesque stars and 1950s housewives and Burlesque. Now the roaring twenties get their turn in this new design – 1920s glamour wallpaper.
The design captures the decadence you'd associate with that period, with a range of beautiful ladies in varying states of undress, each illustrated in their own decorative frame. The design is crammed full of the cheeky charm that you'd associate with Dupenny's products.
Like the ladies pictured, however, it doesn't come cheap. A panel of the wallpaper measures 52cm by 3m and costs £75.
