I’m not a huge wallpaper fan – painted walls are just fine by me. But after seeing the new Barneby Gates wallpaper I might be changing my mind. If you’re outfitting your bachelor pad, check out these manly designs.
The Deer Damask design shown up top features an iconic stag’s head trophy that you might see on the wall of a hunting lodge. Closer inspection, however, reveals a repeating pattern of stag skulls. Very cool!
If you want something racier, check out the Carpe Noctem design which features women in various states of undress:
The latin inscription for the bare-chested woman above reads “Bovina Sancta” (Holy Cow!). Heh.
Behind these manly designs are a couple of women. Barneby Gates, based in London, is comprised of artist and illustrator Alice Gates and British Vogue’s Living Editor Vanessa Barneby, an interior stylist. You can buy their wallpaper online at Barneby Gates.

Not sure how the wife would feel about me putting that up though. Maybe put it in the shed, lol.
