wallpaper pattern

Decorative wall print

A wallpaper pattern is a decorative design that repeats seamlessly across a surface, originally referring to printed paper for covering interior walls.

The term extends to any repeating visual motif: The fabric had a classic wallpaper pattern of interlocking diamonds.

In mathematics, wallpaper patterns (or wallpaper groups) classify the seventeen possible ways a two-dimensional design can repeat through rotation, reflection, and translation.
