With Mad Men ending this Sunday, the clever PR team for Graham & Brown sent us a quick note to point out — hey, that trippy wallpaper office wallpaper you’ve seen every season is theirs. It’s called, well, “Trippy”, and you can get it for $50 a roll.
From Graham & Brown’s note:
Mad Men, the iconic TV show that has taken us by storm for the past seven seasons is coming to an end this Sunday…
International wallpaper and design company Graham & Brown has held a special relationship with Mad Men as Trippy, one of our favorite wallpapers has been featured throughout. Things have changed in the last seven years but Trippy has remained a staple, this modern superfresco design, taking us back to the halcyon days of the 60’s and 70’s. Below is a preview of the finale that has a glimpse of our popular Trippy, in orange.

I think that wallpaper is also used on the set of the TV series The Americans that takes place in the 80s Cold War era.

It is similar but not the exact same pattern. Love that show, but it seems no one watches it. I think it has been renewed, though.

I think that I have seen this same pattern in a curtain. Does anyone know about this? I would LOVE to have these for my living room!

You can find this and similar wallpaper online. Check out spoonflower.com. I don’t like the show, but I sometimes tune in to “Mad Men” just to see the ’60s style again. Takes me back to our GE Gold Medallion show home that mom & dad bought in Aurora, CO, in 1964. Sculptured nylon carpet in burnt orange and avocado, and electric baseboard heat were the rage. And mom & dad had the appliances re-painted coppertone.

Be aware, though, there are serious quality differences in the way different wallpapers are printed. The Graham & Brown paper, for example, seems to have embossing. Not sure of how the ink is applied. I always tend to believe that screen printing or rotogravure printing is going to render much better / look much better than digital printing. Shop and compare.

There is more wallpaper on TV than in real life because the productions have a real problem conveying depth; when they simply use a solid color paint, the picture of the set looks 2-D.
You’ll see wallpaper used everywhere on TV (and movies) mainly for that reason, but they, of course, also use it to convey character, create mood, establish time and place, etc.

This wallpaper is also in Kev and V’s kitchen on Shameless! I love it!

I’ve been wondering about this wallpaper for awhile now. Wondered if it was a stencil even. I even posted it to Pinterest. Was hoping to use it in our home office, but since it’s painted a blue-grey.

That last photo is 2 Broke Girls. They work in a diner in Williamsburg/Brooklyn. They have lots of vintage goodies on that show!!!
