Merenda Wallpaper

Merenda Wallpaper Merenda Wallpaper designs beautiful, sometimes quirky, wallpaper inspired by nature, sensuality, and Sarah Merenda founded Merenda Wallpaper in 2006.

As a master wallpaper installer with 25 years experience, Sarah brings her unique perspective and knowledge of installation to her design process. This expertise allows her to take real-life considerations of how scale and design merge together in any given space. Sarah fell in love with textiles at a young age, collecting vintage clothing from a local auction house on the eastern shore of Maryland, and while working at a vintage clothing shop in Baltimore. She grew up in old farmhouses surrounded by wallpaper, and has memories of her mother wallpapering the rooms with distinctive patterns. Sarah followed her six uncles into the wallpaper hanging trade in 1996 in Atlanta, GA. When she wasn’t working, she fulfilled her love for graffiti art by spray-painting on trains and abandoned buildings. In 1999, she moved to New York City where she studied painting and drawing at Spring Studio in Soho, and received a BFA in Textile Surface Design from the Fashion Institute of Technology. She spent a semester abroad at the Chelsea College of Art & Design in London, and eventually started her company in 2004. In her company’s early years, Sarah focused mostly on wallpaper installation, mural painting, and hand screen printed walls and fabric. In 2012, she began manufacturing and selling her patterns, beginning with Elva Rose and Corn Rows [insert pattern links]. She later opened her first storefront studio in Queens, NY in 2015. Sarah relocated to Cherry Hill, NJ in late 2020 with her family to find a little more space, and to continue expanding her business in surface design while exploring her new surroundings.

When I created Snake Party, I loved the balance of whimsy and elegance in the design. Gardenia offers a new perspective—lighter, calmer, and inspired by the quiet beauty of a garden in bloom. I’m excited to finally share it with you.
