Seem to remember that you can get wallpaper designs for doll's houses on line, not sure if there's anything to suit 1/72 though.  A quick Google search on doll's house wallpaper should turn something up

Go to a wallpaper store, or look in a cateloge--there should be many samples that will work.

Go to American Wallpaper and do a search for floral. There are hundreds of designs. Copy one you like and make a tall, thin sheet in your photo editor. Imprt this file into word as you would clip art. Resize it to what you need and copy and paste a wall's worth. Attach with thinned white glue. You'll have REAL wallpaper.
