The Swedish wallpaper industry began to grow in the second half of the nineteenth century. Industrialization and new wallpaper technology made it possible to manufacture more, larger wallpaper collections. The growing population increased demand for cheap wallpapers and using wallpaper became increasingly common among the population at large.
Wallpapers often featured stylized designs with simple patterns that were ideally suited for machine printing. New interpretations of older styles were popular. Blue printed on a natural background remained a popular choice throughout this period. Really dark colors, such as a black background with prints in gold and brown, were common in many homes.
