While not green wallpaper per se, this find does support a very worthy cause with great style! Carly Margolis, a wallpaper designer and co-founder of NY-based company Cavern Home, traveled to the Casa de Milagros orphanage in Peru and helped the children create designs that she then incorporated into a wallpaper print. Even the repeated geometric symbol in the wallpaper was taken from the kids’ drawings — it’s called the “Chakana,” a spiritual Peruvian symbol. I love how all of the kids’ images peek out in unexpected places from the pattern — a perfect pick-me-up for a drab bathroom! Best of all, proceeds of wallpaper purchases go directly to the orphanage. Buy here in olive, turquoise, and brown for $155/roll. — Meg D.
