My suggestion is to get tall sturdy cardboard boxes and store your rolls vertically in them. You can separate by design, for instance, place all the plaid rolls in a box covered in one of the plaid designs, flowery ones in box covered with one of the flowery designs. You can even make your own boxes, if necessary. Just be sure the boxes are at least half as tall or more than your wall paper rolls are so it doesn't get top heavy. If needed you can secure the rolls together with an old stretch belt or a folded up piece of cloth that is knotted around the rolls so as to not damage the wallpaper. I have done this with my gift wrap paper because it was always falling over and getting torn, etc. Hope this helps. Maybe your rolls of border could be stacked onto an upright paper towel holder that has a heavy base. Hope this helps or gives you some ideas on another method.
see if this will work for you....https://www.hometalk.com/diy/craft-room/craft-supply-storage/closet-door-wrapping-station-25072669?r=1
A Wrapping Station on Your Closet Door
Janice's idea is what I was thinking as well however if the paper seems too heavy for a box you may want to try plastic wrapping paper container. Wrapping paper is longer then most wallpaper you may be able to fit two rolls side by side, or maybe put coordinating borders next to the papers!
IKEA has an inexpensive holder for grocery bags that can be mounted inside your closet, or could be attached to a wooden rack
I would look for a plastic box, with a lid that is tall enough to hold your rolls. I have one that I store wrapping paper in. This isn't exactly like mine, but you'll see what I'm talking about.

what about a pant hanging rack? Walmart has reasonably priced ones. "Household Room Closet Adjustable Folding Hanging Clothes Organizer Pants Rack" is one I found there
I just did a quick search on Pinterest.com for "wrapping paper storage"... and there are lots of interesting ideas... I was thinking that one way to store them would be in PVC pipe with caps on each end... it would protect the vintage papers from dust and sunlight (fading) and a small strip of the paper could be taped on the outside.... you could hang the pipes on the wall using webbing and screws (see photo).. or conduit clamps if you need more strength. The wall papers could be grouped by color family
. I like buckets; 5 gallon buckets ... they can be decorated/painted or left what ever color you get; you can continue your organization -- color, plaid/geometric, fruit/floral, whatever ... and they line up neatly, are easy to move and are deep enough that the rolls won't turn the bucket over
Your so smart!!!! Thanks for your fab idea.
They make poster tubes (you might want to double check the diameter to see if it would work for your wall paper.
I'm thinking a wine rack mounted on the wall, cover it with plastic sheeting.
Hi Donna: Well, you could hang them on the wall, sort of. What you would do is to take several lengths of wood 1" deep x 4" wide and as long as you want, 1 in. x 4 in. x 8 ft. Premium Kiln-Dried Square Edge Whitewood Common Board 914681 - The Home Depot and screw those to the wall at the studs. If more than 3 feet long, I'd use at least 4 strength points (screws) in 4 studs. Then, you can screw rod holders Oatey 1-1/2 in. Galvanized 2-Hole Pipe Hanger Strap 33500 - The Home Depot on the ends and put a dowel through the rolls of wallpaper and hang them on the holders.
Good luck
