The place? A Chicago-based gem called urban source. This almost five-year-old, walk-in interior design studio carries absolutely WOW! wallpapers and fashionably fun fabrics in their bright, spacious new West Town shop (they recently moved from smaller digs across the street).

Like these wild new wallpapers from New York-based designer, Aimée Wilder– available in Chicago exclusively at urban source.
