Curated By Samantha Farmer
Welcome to our "Curated By" section, where we showcase carefully curated wallpaper selections by your favorite creators and influencers (and ours, too!).
This time, we're delighted to present Samantha Farmer – the passionate DIYer and creative soul behind the Instagram account @oliveandoakhome that has inspired thousands to roll up their sleeves and start crafting their dream spaces.
Born and raised in Louisville, Kentucky, she grew up in a hands-on home where every weekend meant a new project. She found that she had the same passion as her parents, so during the Covid lockdown, she picked up her own tools and found her calling – blending design, creativity, and a whole lot of heart.
"Growing up, my Mom and Dad spent every weekend DIYing, making our house a home. I found that I had the same passion as my parents; to create spaces I love."

Product Types
Wall murals and wallpaper are both effective for personalizing your space, each offering unique benefits. Wallpapers have smaller, repeating patterns, while wall murals often feature bigger, more eye-catching designs that command attention.
Wall Mural
A wall mural often portrays a singular, impactful design, such as a picturesque landscape, explicitly scaled to your wall dimensions. Wall Murals are delivered in rolls with each panel numbered for effortless installation.
Wall murals have a few different pattern repeats:
Fully Repeatable: The pattern in these murals repeats seamlessly both vertically and horizontally. This means that whether you have high ceilings or want to wallpaper a wide wall or multiple walls, the pattern will look good without losing its scale or proportions.
Horizontally Repeatable: The pattern in these murals repeats horizontally. This means that it is perfect for a wide wall or multiple walls, the size of the pattern will adjust to the height of the wall.
Non-Repeatable: These murals are excellent for making a striking focal point in a room. They're usually meant for a single accent wall and don't have a repeating pattern. This could be wallpaper created from a photograph, for example.
Wallpaper
Wallpaper features patterns that repeat vertically downwards, offering a harmonious and decorative feel to a room. Wallpapers are produced in rolls, and our roll calculator helps you determine how many you'll need based on your wall dimensions.
