Choosing The Best Bedroom Wallpaper
What happens in your bedroom is entirely up to you, but maybe it’s time to consider throwing those doors open—metaphorically, of course! And before your imagination runs wild, let’s set the record straight: we’re talking about your bedroom’s interior décor, specifically the wallpaper. Is your bedroom a space you’re proud of? If not, chances are it’s not as enjoyable as it could be. Whether you want your bedroom to feel seductive, serene, or energising for the day ahead, the right choice of wallpaper can truly transform the space.
Set the Tone with Bedroom Wallpaper
Energising Designs
The first thing you see when you wake up can have a huge influence on your mood for the entire day. Let’s make sure you’re getting up on the right side of the bed! Here are some wallpaper choices that can start your day on a high note:
Jordan Kahn, a DIY enthusiast behind A Blue Nest blog, completely revamped her bedroom using our Woodland Birds wallpaper. She shares how this wallpaper brought an instant burst of pizzazz to the room. Who wouldn’t want to wake up to a bit of pizzazz?
Kari, from OurFigTreeCottage on Instagram, brightened up her master bedroom by choosing Calypso wallpaper in the Inca colourway. With playful pineapples and a textured look, this design adds a sense of joy and energy to her space.
Suzanne Bowers, of Bowers Construction, opted for a bedroom wallpaper that radiated warmth. The Blooming Joy mural in Peach provided the perfect blend of rustic sunshine hues to bring vibrance to her room.
If bold maximalism is your style, take a cue from LibbyLivingColorfully. With the help of interior designer Shannon Claire, she created a ‘Sexy Granny Chic’ look for her bedroom using our Garden Bloom wallpaper. Bright, eclectic, and full of personality, it’s a floral lover’s dream.
In the UK, Michaela, an interior enthusiast and the face behind House of Chester on Instagram, used our Cranes wallpaper in her master bedroom, creating a lively and bold space that makes you feel as if you could soar.
Calming Retreats
If your bedroom is more about winding down at the end of a long day, then you’ll want wallpaper that soothes the mind. The right design can ease your stress and prepare you for a peaceful night’s sleep. Here are some perfect calming choices:
Areeba, who runs Mint Candy Designs when she’s not studying Clinical Psychology, installed our Heritage Tiles wallpaper for a Modern Boho Farmhouse look. Its Mediterranean vibe creates a laid-back, relaxing atmosphere—ideal for unwinding.
Ashley, a blogger at At Home With Ashley, brought subtle femininity to her space with the Birds of Paradise wallpaper in soft pinks and blues. This design adds brightness while maintaining a sense of calm.
For something moodier, deep tones can also promote relaxation. Astin Hancock used our Majoram wallpaper in Chalk Green to create a restful, cosy guest room with dark hues that exude both peace and elegance.
Looking to channel a beach holiday vibe? Our Great Wave Bloom wallpaper, seen in Camille Kurtz’s master bedroom, invites you to relax with its ocean-inspired blues. The tranquil seaside tones are sure to help anyone drift off to sleep.
Sacramento-based interior designer Rebecca Plumb turned a guest room into a peaceful retreat with our Atrium wallpaper, creating a tropical oasis that she jokingly called perfect for a ‘staycation’.
Neutral Bedroom Wallpapers
Neutral tones can be tricky to pull off, but when done right, they create a tranquil and serene bedroom. The balance between bland and calming is delicate, but achievable:
Alieta Casey went for light and airy in her master bedroom, using our Retro Peacock wallpaper in Ivory. This neutral pattern pairs beautifully with soft pinks and earthy tones, crafting a feminine, soothing environment.
Grey is another colour that can be challenging. As Sandy Spring Builders note, “Keep it soft and subtle to avoid it becoming too overwhelming or dreary.”
For those seeking a bolder grey, our Tilt Slab concrete-effect wallpaper offers a masculine, modern aesthetic that still feels inviting. Paired with black furniture by Little Liberty Rooms, it adds drama without becoming oppressive.
Wallpaper to Alter Perceptions
Sometimes, it’s all about creating a sense of space—whether that’s making a room appear larger or taller. Wallpaper can help craft these illusions while enhancing natural light.
Chelsey Newlon (@littlenestof4) used our Distressed Timber Chevron wallpaper to decorate her master bedroom. The chevron pattern adds depth and a rustic, farmhouse warmth to her space, making the room feel both cosy and expansive.
Interior design firm The Designory made great use of our Stalactite wallpaper in a dark and moody room, yet the vertical pattern provided a sense of height, balancing the rich tones with light.
Finally, Monica from Burlap Roses Revivals chose Queensland Weatherboards wallpaper to bring farmhouse charm to her bedroom. The vertical panels draw the eye upwards, creating the illusion of height, while soft linens add a dreamy, romantic feel.
Whether you’re seeking a bedroom full of energy, peace, or simply an illusion of space, choosing the right wallpaper for your bedroom is key to achieving your desired atmosphere. From bold and bright to soft and neutral, there’s a design that will transform your room into a space you love.
