Flowers of the interior life
This just occurred to me: Kenneth Patchen wrote more poems about wallpaper than anyone else I know of.

BECAUSE MR. FLOWERS THE BOATMAN
SAILED WALLS (title)
from BECAUSE IT IS
2)
Never Like This Back in Marblehead
For the bed went to bed
And the chair sat down
Now that was rude, sirs
No way for gents to act
The parlor floor paced back and forth
The wallpaper reached
Out a rosy fist
And almost decabbaged grandma
You kids think that's proper
Oh, oh, here comes a hungry-looking potroast
That blur was just me coming back for my clothes
-from Hurrah for Anything
But I think I was really thinking about all the wallpaper in the illustrations of his poempaintings, as below.
