The Vintage Wallpaper Store on Steinway
For decades, our Steinway Street location in Astoria has helped homeowners, designers, and renovators bring their spaces to life. What began as a neighborhood store for wallcoverings and window treatements, has naturally grown into one of the area’s most unique wallpaper destinations. Our Astoria atelier is home to a rare collection of vintage wallpapers that are no longer in production and not found anywhere else.
Over the years, we’ve carefully preserved and curated patterns that reflect timeless elegance, craftsmanship, and design history. From classic florals to richly detailed textures, our vintage wallpaper collection offers a level of character and authenticity that modern reproductions simply can’t replicate. Visit us today while the most sought-after designs are still in stock.
What Makes Our Vintage Wallpaper Collection Rare
Our vintage wallpaper collection is truly one-of-a-kind, featuring patterns and textures that are no longer produced and often impossible to find anywhere else. Over decades of curating, we’ve carefully preserved designs that capture the feelings and details of eras past — from intricate florals and geometrics, to bold murals and classic textures.
Many of these designs were produced in limited runs, and their scarcity has only increased over time, making each roll a piece of design history. Whether you’re looking for a statement wall, a subtle accent, or a seasonal feature like vintage Christmas wallpaper, our collection offers something unique for every space.
Visit our store to explore these rare patterns up close, experience their textures, and find the perfect match for your home — something that simply can’t be replicated online.
How to Travel to Our Vintage Wallpaper Store
We’re proud to call Astoria Queens, our home for vintage wallpapers. You’ll find us on Steinway Street between 28th Avenue and 30th Avenue, right in the heart of the neighborhood.
If you’re taking the subway, the closest stop is 30th Avenue on the N or W line — from there, it’s just a 7–10 minute walk. Head west on 30th Avenue until you reach Steinway Street. Turn left of Steinway and our store will be on the right side. Get directions to our store here.
Visiting in person gives you the chance to explore our curated selection of rare and discontinued wallpaper designs, feel the textures, and see the colors in real light — an experience that online browsing simply can’t match.
What to Expect From Our Rare Vintage Collection
Our vintage wallpaper collection spans decades of design history, offering patterns, textures, and materials that are increasingly rare. From the geometric Art Deco prints of the 1920s, to the mid-century florals and atomic motifs of the 1950s, and the bold, psychedelic patterns of the 1960s and 70s, each roll reflects the distinctive style and craftsmanship of its era.
The collection includes a variety of materials and finishes, from flocked wallpaper with its raised velvet-like patterns, to grasscloth and natural fiber wallpapers that bring organic texture to a room. Many of these papers were hand-printed or used older manufacturing techniques that are rarely seen today, making them true design treasures.
Styles range from delicate botanicals and romantic florals to dramatic murals and scenic panels. You’ll also find classic geometrics to bold, graphic patterns that make a statement in any space. Seasonal and thematic designs, including vintage holiday motifs, add an extra layer of charm for collectors and decorators alike.
