If you enjoy the bright colors of vintage post-war wallpaper, you can find new reproductions at Bradbury and Bradbury.  Here is a link to some of the designs they offer:http://bradbury.com/postwar.html. In addition to post-war era, they also have wallpaper in the following themes: Victorian, Modernism, Arts & Crafts, and Damasks.
