Nothing adds color and pattern to a bedroom like beautiful wallpaper. But the truth is many people are a little intimidated by the idea because they think wallpaper costs too much per square foot and is nearly impossible to install without a professional. If that is the case for you, we got some great news.

These days wallpaper comes in a vast range of styles for both small and big budgets. There is also a wide selection of options designed for do-it-yourself installation. For example, peel and stick wallpaper, which is perfect for rental bedrooms, is a snap to both hang and remove. To help you refresh your space, we collected our favorite wallpaper decorating ideas for bedrooms.

  Adds Visual Depth

  LABLstudio

  When it comes to maximizing square footage, living in a tiny rental can be extremely challenging. To add visual depth to this teensy studio apartment in New York City, LABLstudio created an accent wall using removable peel and stick wallpaper. Doing so helped to create a little separation between the bedroom and the central living space.

Cozy Minimalism

Minimalists can love wallpaper, too, you know. Covered in a traditional wallpaper, this bedroom looks feels neat, tidy, and contemporary thanks to the tonal color scheme. For a similar feel, choose timeless furniture, crisp bedding, and a faux fur throw for texture and warmth.

Marble Swirls

A texture-rich wallpaper is an easy way to add personality without taking up any precious surface space.

Understated Neutrals

To bring the home, take style notes from this neutral space by Studio Lifestyle.

Statement Wall

You don’t need to cover the entire wall to make a statement. Just choose a smaller nook to cover in a fun print. And speaking of fun prints, don’t be afraid of mixing them, as Studio DB boldly did in this bedroom. The wilder, the better.

MAURA MCEVOY

Whimsy Meets Sophistication

Designers are now laying traditional schemes, like toile in quirky motifs and electric tones, for prints as whimsical as they are sophisticated. For example, in this bedroom, the monochrome wallpaper’s balance between childlike whimsy and grownup sophistication means it’ll age gracefully.

Studio DB

Blush Bursts

Bursting with warmth, this little girl’s room designed by Studio DB is going to mature gracefully. That’s thanks to the versatile yet distinct color scheme anchored around blush pinks, creamy tones, warm beige accents, and a touch of burgundy.

Intricate Etchings

Decorated by Shaun Smith, here’s another great example of bold yet sophisticated and cohesive pattern play.

The intricate wallpaper injects a totally different feel, bringing in the perfect touch of classic design.

Annie Schlechter

Classic With a Twist

Though it looks like a classic formal bedroom in the English countryside at first glance, this bedroom designed by Jane Hawkins Hoke doesn’t take itself too seriously at all. From the bold houndstooth upholstery to the pale yellow floral wallpaper and modern black fan, it’s a gorgeous blend of tradition and personal style.

Architectural Drama

When asked about new wallpaper trends, Zunino says she’d like to more “modern architectural moments.” In this bedroom by Martin Lawrence Bullard, the preexisting architectural quirks are played up by a graphic, linear wallpaper that contrast with the more traditional elements throughout the space.

Maura McEvoy

A Subtle Backdrop

While there’s definitely no shortage of bold, forward-thinking wallpaper trends, we’re also seeing a more subtle approach. Translation: Beige does not have to be boring. Add an abstract painting, a pop of color, and something featuring an animal print, as seen in this bedroom designed by Matthew Carter.

Hotel Henriette

Moody Palms

What wallpaper bedroom roundup would complete without a palm leaf print? To keep things interesting, this room at Hotel Henriette painted the hardwood floors black and cozied up the bed with mind green linens. It’s the perfect blend of breezy island vibes and a moody urban oasis.

Contemporary Trad

“The world always needs more chintz,” L.A.-based interior design guru Emily Henderson aptly notes. And lucky for us, gone are the classics that look like they smell of mothballs. Try a black and white toile like this one for something that incorporates florals without going overboard.

Wallpaper Ideas for the Bedroom

Choosing wallpaper for the bedroom may seem a bit intimidating. After all, the bedroom is the room where you spend nearly half your time. Granted, most of those hours are slated for sleeping, but the bedroom is where you’ll end long days and wake up refreshed. Choosing a wallpaper that sparks these feelings is an essential part of effectively decorating a bedroom.

Consider the general feeling you’d like your room to convey. Do you want to go to bed in a darkened sensual room, or would you like to wake up on a sunny beach? Are you looking for a place to decorate with your favorite colors and themes, never mind the style?

This may seem like a major commitment, but the most important part of choosing bedroom wallpaper is to make sure it is in line with your personality. The bedroom is private — a restful sanctuary away from the rest of the house — and designing this room should align with your personality. “Whatever your taste, there is something everyone, from traditional florals and trompe l’oeil, to contemporary geometric and tropical patterns or animal motifs and architectural designs,” says  Homes and Gardens. We couldn’t agree more!

Elegant Showcase

Elegance comes in many styles, from decorating with a light touch to incorporating bold art pieces. Wallpapering your bedroom with showstopping patterns adds instant elegance.

To choose your decorative direction, consider your taste in furniture. If you prefer heavy antique furniture in rich dark woods, check out the damask from Wallpaper Boulevard. Victorian opulence is always in fashion.

If your decorative taste leans more toward antique quilts and dainty furniture, check out traditional florals in pastel colors. The gentle colors and classic patterns look simultaneously nostalgic and modern against this smooth silky headboard.

You can’t go wrong with graceful tonals in subtle tones. Two-tone stripes, scrolls, and subtle patterns are a lasting choice for any bedroom. This fragile-looking wallpaper emphasizes its elegance with shining two-tone metallics.

Dark and Restful

Insomniacs, rejoice! The old “rules” about never using dark colors on wallcoverings are no more. If a dark gray, navy, or even black wallpaper makes you feel more restful, Wallpaper Boulevard has you covered. To brighten up the darkened space, choose light-colored decorations, window treatments, and rugs. Install good lighting to balance dark wallpaper. 

Romantic and Sensual

Let’s be honest. Creating a romantic atmosphere is a big part of decorating the bedroom, especially for couples. The bedroom is the most intimate room in your home. Rich jewel tones get the point across with a wink and a nod while creating a sense of timeless elegance. Any jewel tone works beautifully in the bedroom, and “walls painted in emerald green still lend a sense of opulence, especially when paired with other jewel tones, such as amethyst, sapphire blue and ruby red,” says Grand Designs Magazine. 

If you’re not a fan of green, blue, or violet in the bedroom, Valentine’s day red sparks romantic love like no other color. Indulge your passionate side with a rich red wallpaper with subtle textural elements. For the more literal decorator, these sweet happy couples might make you feel inspired.

Textural Interest

Since the bedroom walls are usually immune to daily chaos and extensive wear and tear (after all, you’re sleeping in there most of the time!) this is a great space to try delicate wallpapers that wouldn’t hold up anywhere else. Feel free to choose a delicate paper that wouldn’t be possible elsewhere, like glitters, grasscloths, or delicate textural papers.

Textured wallpapers add dimension and warmth to a room that may otherwise look flat. Try a basket weave wallpaper for a subtle look. This is an excellent option for a room that gets a lot of sun; textured papers keep the room from looking washed out in bright light. Try shimmering silky paper in a space with low light. “Adding a tactile surface to walls will help create a sense of depth that can be temporary if you don’t fancy a drastic change,” says Grand Designs Magazine.

Animal Prints

There are animal print patterns and animal print patterns. At Wallpaper Boulevard, you can choose from zebra, leopard, tiger, and even peacock feather prints in a rainbow of colors. Snakeskin and alligator print wallpaper puts a seductive spin on animal print.

When it comes to prints of animals, there’s no shortage of choices. Birds are a familiar favorite, but the options are nearly endless. Find wallpaper patterned with deer, dragonflies, and even dogs!

Bring the Outdoors In

After a long day of hiking, cloud-watching, or beach lounging, do you wish you could continue your day indoors? Beachy nauticals and birch tree prints are popular with outdoor enthusiasts. Florals, leaves, and tree patterns are evergreen for any personality. Wallpaper Boulevard has dozens of outdoorsy options in almost any color imaginable. 

“We’ve incorporated several leaf prints in our collection, because the next best thing to being in nature is surrounding yourself with it at home,” say Drew and Jonathan Scott. Check out some leafy designs in the Scott Living collection from Wallpaper Boulevard.

Floral wallpaper doesn’t have to look antique. Pastels are beautiful, but so are rich colors and bold patterns. Choose an oversized rose pattern to freshen up a bedroom with dramatic flair.

Contemporary Classics

All of these classic patterns are great, but what about modern art lovers? Can you beautify a bedroom with bold colors and exciting patterns? Of course! If you have a membership to MOMA, express your love of the unique. Use brightly colored wallpapers to cover all four walls to make a real statement, or create a focal point with an accent wall.

Historic Homes

Even if you’re a modern art buff, your Victorian home may not look quite “right” with contemporary wallpaper in bright colors and high-contrast motifs. Maintain your home’s look with delicate papers like damask, florals, and simple designs. This elegant bedroom emphasizes the glittering foil design with an intricately-carved headboard and only a few pops of color.

Be Yourself

The bedroom is your personal space, so there’s no better room to choose a wallpaper that speaks to you. Where else would you be able to decorate with all of your favorite things? Not every room in the house has to be color-coordinated; design your private space with patterns that are distinctly “you.” Whether you’re a huge comic book fan, a Disney princess aficionado, or really into monkeys, Wallpaper Boulevard has a great selection of specialty wallpapers.

Guest rooms

Unlike private bedrooms, guest rooms should be toned down. Whether your guests are friends, family, or extended relatives, you’ll want to design a room that works for all personalities. Guest rooms are welcoming when they’re simple, elegant, and cozy, so look for an understated wallpaper. Feel free to indulge in florals, patterns, geometrics, and motifs, but keep them understated.

Opt for a more neutral pattern in the guest room and jazz it up with a few pops of color. The spacious bedroom below plays up neutral beige and gray with enthusiastic orange motifs on the wallpaper and coordinating bed coverings.

Kids’ rooms

You didn’t think we forgot the kids, did you? Children have tons of options when it comes to bedroom design. Just like the grownup bedroom, kids’ rooms are their spaces, their sanctuaries, their place to express themselves. Why not let kids choose patterns that really speak to their personalities? Outside of traditional styles and prints, there are loads of novelty choices at Wallpaper Boulevard. From footballs to fairy tales, little kid wallpaper options are far from boring.

If you’re not willing to devote an entire room to cars and trucks, try an accent wall with coordinating colors. This black and white car pattern appeals to kids, but can be easily tempered with red white and gray stripes. Choose solid colored furniture to keep the little ones calm.

The nursery is every new parent’s favorite room in the house. The design possibilities are nearly endless. From bright and cheerful primaries to gentle gender-neutrals, wallpapering the new baby’s room is a joy. This perfectly color-coordinated nursery embraces the theme of purple butterflies without going overboard.

Have you decided which sort of feeling you’d like from your bedroom decor? Wallpapering any part of the home is an exciting prospect with almost endless possibilities. The bedroom is a great place to experiment and express your personality. From enthusiastic boldness to rest and relaxation, you’ll have no trouble finding a wallpaper that works for your bedroom. Your biggest issue will be narrowing down your choices! 

 

15 Gorgeous Bedroom Wallpaper Ideas From Interior Designers

“Wallpaper has been guilty of little white lies.” When I read these words by Jude Philips, I thought, perfect. The designer captures the enigmatic, alluring, and deceptive quality of this historical décor staple. Wallpaper intrigues. It expands a room beyond its size and scope. It swells a space’s potential to envelop you in a mood that transcends time and place. And for the room where we dream, wallpaper transports to a realm of reverie, as these bedroom wallpaper ideas illustrate. 

Some of the earliest wallpaper designs celebrated ancestral scenes, religious images, and escapist vibes of tropical paradises. People loved wallpaper for its ability to conceal imperfections and imbue instant color. The same goes for today. Wallpaper varieties cover every aesthetic.

Kelli Menendez, the designer and founder of the hand-drawn wallpaper collection Half Full, believes wallpaper to be a means of positivity. “When people look at our patterns, they should feel lush and luxurious but also delight and joy,” says Menendez, who believes botanical and earthy patterns are a way to honor nature. “It is important to remind ourselves that everything we use and touch comes from the world around us and nature is that in the truest form.”

I checked in with Menendez, as well as with designers Bethany Adams of Bethany Adams Interiors, Erin Coren of Curated Nest, and Jessica Nelson of Etch Design Group to see how we can feel “lush and luxurious” in our bedrooms.

Given that there are endless options and types of wallpaper, I asked these experts for their take on the best bedroom wallpaper ideas. Let their following insight transport.

What wallpaper is best for the bedroom?

There is a sea of patterns, colors, textures, and finishes. This all begs the question: Which are the best wallpaper options for the bedroom? Menendez implores us to go with our aesthetic guts. Think about what you want your bedroom to feel like and consider what you want to wake up to, she suggests.

In her collection, Menendez says NorCal, Holly, and Franz are some of the most popular picks for the bedroom—all of which boast an ethereal, natural vibe. As she adds, “nature is always nice to see and can feel neutral.” But when in doubt, opt for something in neutral tones and patterns, Menendez suggests. From there, “add bits of color where it feels natural.”

Craving a little more punch? Adams’ love of chinoiserie prints for the bedroom might be the ticket. “It makes a bedroom feel special,” she adds. “I also love a simple graphic print for spaces that warrant a little more pep, like a kids’ room or a more modern primary bedroom.”

Should you wallpaper the entire bedroom or just an accent wall?

Both work well, say the experts. Adams is usually against feature walls, but she believes highlighting just one bedroom wall with a print makes sense in this room. “You could choose an exciting pattern and just put it behind the headboard. That way you enjoy it when you’re out of bed, but at night when you’re reading in bed or drifting off to sleep, the pattern is behind you so it’s totally invisible and you can focus on your other three walls.”

Menendez has gone both ways, but she says if you’re considering covering every wall, it’s worth it. “There is something so beautiful and complete about a room with continuous pattern throughout,” she tells us. “It makes the room feel larger and makes the paper more of a textural element no matter how strong the pattern. ”

15 Bedroom Wallpaper Ideas That Elevate

Idea #1: Incorporate layers

Mix in accessories over your patterns. “Hang a mirror or your favorite artwork piece over a patterned wall to make it more dimensional,” suggests Menendez.

Idea # 2: Lean into nature

Choose prints with a botanical, landscape, or animal theme. Bringing nature into the bedroom can offer a soothing look and feel, says Menendez.

Idea # 3: Mix simple with eclectic

“I mentioned loving a chinoiserie wallpaper in a bedroom, but this really only works if you have a simple room with lots of wall space,” says Adams. Keep furniture and accessories simple to allow a bold print to shine.

Idea # 4: Choose a complementary headboard

If the back of your bed is patterned, this might compete with your wallpaper, warns Adams. To avoid this, choose a headboard in the same color as one found in the wallpaper print.

Idea # 5: Frame a square

If you love a wallpaper print but don’t want to commit an entire room to it, frame a portion of it to hang. It’s instant artwork without any major commitment.

Idea # 6: Match print size to room size

“I try to scale the print to the size of the room,” says Adams. Go for smaller prints for smaller rooms, and larger prints for larger rooms. “This will keep the pattern from overwhelming the space.”

Idea # 7: Look to neutrals

Prints in creams, beiges, and grays can make a huge impact. As Adams says, “even a busy print can be subdued by choosing a neutral or pale colorway.”

Idea # 8: Listen to the animals

Birds on the wall? This may be the key to creating a look that is relaxing and poetic.

Idea # 9: Consider an accent wall

As mentioned, wallpapering an entire bedroom or just one both get designers’ approval. But if you’re hesitant to commit, Coren says go for the latter. “We feel that the way to make a bedroom stand out is to have one unexpected item that gives a pop of interest—and that can be done with adding a focal wall of wallpaper,” she says.

Idea # 10: Go bold

Nelson believes that even after furniture and accessories, a bedroom can feel incomplete. To add life to an otherwise simple space, choose wallpaper with bright colors.

Idea # 11: Celebrate black and white

When these two merge, there’s always a huge impact. Especially when it comes to a bold, graphic, show-stopping black-and-white wallpaper.

Idea # 12: Honor the lines

Horizontal, vertical, even diagonal. Lined wallpaper brings the eye up or around, which stretches the appearance of a room. More stripes = more visual space.

Idea # 13: Create a canvas

If you live in a rental apartment, don’t despair, says Menendez. Instead of wallpapering the walls you soon may part from, you can add it to a large canvas “for a removable artwork feel.”

Idea # 14: Marry prints

Sometimes the best matches are those that don’t match at all. Don’t be afraid: Mix graphic with ethereal. Stripes with botanicals. Even traditional with historical. It’s all your oyster, and the options are the sea.

Idea # 15: Follow your own rules

“Be free to have fun and don’t worry about perfection,” says Menendez. “You can always add and edit over time. If it feels good to you, then it is good!”

Though where you sleep tends to be a space that you want to keep a little more calm and neutral, many of the best bedroom wallpaper ideas will prove that energizing colorways and cool, maximalist designs are by no means out of bounds in your sleeping sanctuary.

Wallpaper ideas offer minimal effort with much reward in return, whether you wallpaper all four walls or just one for a stylish accent… Melanie Adams, Wallpaperdirect Global Manager, says that when choosing the best wallpaper for your bedroom, you want to ‘Think about how you want the room to make you feel. Do you want to create a calm oasis to aid sleep or revitalising space that will make you feel energized when you wake? Also consider the placement of the wallpaper and when it will be in view. You can afford to be bolder on the wall behind the headboard as realistically you won’t be looking at it when trying to get to sleep. However you may want to choose a smaller scale and softer shades if using wallpaper on all four walls.’

• DIY: How to wallpaper a wall.

1. Create a focal point with a bedroom wall mural

(Image credit: Chasing Paper)

If you are looking to make a statement with your bedroom wallpaper ideas or want an easy way to completely transform a space, murals are the way to go. These oversized prints are a hot trend and the best of them are show-stoppingly stunning to behold. Perfect for all bedroom styles, whether contemporary or traditional, there are options available for everyone.

2. Wallpaper all four walls (yes, we said it)

(Image credit: Boras Tapeter)

Can you remember the last time you saw a room with four matching walls? No, we can’t either. While feature wall ideas continue to serve us well, we think it’s perfectly plausible to cover those other three walls in wallpaper, too… if you choose a design and color that aren’t too overwhelming, allowing your bedroom furniture and accessories to do the talking.  

3. Lively flower patterns

This space is vintage with contemporary appeal, and the King Protea from Wallpaper Direct. adds energy, without being exhausting on the eyes. Add greenery nods to more soothing and balancing tones.

4. Crane away

When bedroom wallpaper ideas are nature inspired they offer a little escapism and room to dream – ideal for every sleeping space. This look was brought together by Agi of @agi_at_59 using Yanya wallpaper from Dutch brand @muancewall

5. Embrace the trend for dark bedroom wallpaper ideas

(Image credit: Nedgis)

Dark and moody interiors are having a bit of moment, and we are fully on board. Our favourite way to bring the trend into the bedroom? A subtly distressed grey wallpaper, obviously.  For a similar look to this bedroom wallpaper, we love Cole and Son’s Patina Haze . 

(Image credit: Miki Rose)

Tropical prints have been hotter than the rainforests that inspire them for a while now, and we still can’t get enough of them. Decorating with botanical wallpaper is a super easy (and quick) way to incorporate the trend into your home.  This bedroom wallpaper is a bit of a grown up take on the bright banana leaf prints that are everywhere at the moment and slightly more subtle, making it perfect for an adult bedroom. 

7. Bring structure with bedroom wallpaper blocking

(Image credit: Farrow and Ball)

You’ve all heard of color blocking with paint but what about trying out the same trend with wallpaper? This is actually a great idea to add structure to bedroom a budget, because you won’t need to spend a lot on endless rolls of wallpaper.

You could go bold and mix patterns and prints or for a simpler effect, just use one pattern and cover a smaller area of the wall, such as behind the headboard. No headboard? No problem. You can fake one with wallpaper. Here, Farrow & Ball’s Samphire has been used to ground the bed and give the room a focal point.

8. Make-believe gallery wall

If you didn’t know it already, we are obsessed with gallery wall ideas and, now we have found a really low-maintenance way to recreate the look, using wallpaper.

This bedroom wallpaper has a gorgeous vintage feel that would work perfectly in a traditional bedroom, but also wouldn’t look out of place in a more contemporary space. 

9. Room for romance

(Image credit: Wallpaper direct)

Floral textured wallpaper in salmon pink and grey complements a soft and romantic bedroom color scheme in this space. White accents pulls this look together for very soothing and sweet vibes all around.

10. Nod to the ombré effect

(Image credit: Ercol)

You can also cheat the ombre paint effect using wallpaper. The dreamy, inky hues of this mural definitely make a statement but the color doesn’t overwhelm the room.

• Check out our step-by-step guide on how to paint an ombre wall. 

11. Wallpaper your bedroom ceiling 

Two issues I have with the new nursery…. 1) Wallpapering the ceiling is all well and good when you have a huge room to get it’s full glory in every shot …but when the room is pretty small it’s near impossible to get the whole room + the ceiling in and it all seems a bit white without my cactus 🌵 ceiling 🤷🏽‍♀️🙄 . 2) I have spent weeks trying to finish and get these @ikeahackersofficial shelves just right but I’m still not happy with them🙄. More bits & bobs on order and faffing to do but this will have to do for . • s h e l f i e • #myhousethismonth day 2 . myinteriorstyletoday #kidsinteriors #workinprogress #cactuslover #walltowallstyle #colourmehappy #luxuryinteriorsonabudget #mygorgeousgaff #atmine #myhometrend #myhomevibe #mystylishspace #sassyhomestyle #mystylednest #myinteriormydecor #spotlightonmyhome #interiorboom #colourmehappy #wallpaperedceiling #edwardianhouse #decorforkids #spotthenewtrend #ownyourdecor #styleithappy #mustardandgreen #boysnursery #nurseryinspo #tribalnursery #myseasonalrevamp #myhousethismonth #ikealoversmagazine S o F i e with an F 💃

Ceilings are often neglected when it comes to patterned wallpaper, but it’s really just another blank canvas to work with. So we say be brave with your ceiling and cover it in a funky wallpaper that might be too much for all four walls, but a breeze for your ‘fifth wall’ to handle.  

Check out how @thehousethatgreybuilt has used a bold wallpaper on the ceiling in an otherwise completely white room. Love it. 

12. Get all the Scandi feels with a wood panel effect wallpaper

(Image credit: John Lewis)

Reclaimed wood-paneled walls are a pricey decor trend, but they have been around for ages and we absolutely love the look. Good news is that there is now a ton of wallpaper brands jumping on the bandwagon and producing realistic wood effect wallpapers, so you can get that rustic look for a fraction of the price.

13. Match furniture to your wallpaper

A photo posted by @susana_ordovas on Aug 3, 2018 at 9:38am PDT

We are definitely going to be stealing this idea from @susana_ordovas – it’s such a good way to give furniture a refresh. (And for those of you who aren’t lucky enough to own a French armoire to upcycle, we are sure this would work just as well with a Billy bookcase from Ikea…)

14. Give traditional floral prints an update

One of my favourite pairs of cushions(is that a thing amongst interiors bloggers? Hell yeah!) is this linen number in Paprika by @johnlewisandpartners . It looks great in the #guestbedroom but also in the living room. A really nice warm colour and fabric. Now, THIS is where we’ll be spending our next 3 weeks starting this Friday because the builders are coming in for the ensuite Bathroom makeover! Perfect timing for the #oneroomchallenge maybe? SEASONS IN COLOUR

A photo posted by @seasonsincolour on Sep 10, 2018 at 12:35am PDT

Floral wallpaper may be slightly reminiscent of your grandmother’s living room and outdated hotel bathrooms but we promise you that these traditional styles are making a comeback. Floral wallpaper is cool again. Just look at how @seasonsincolour has styled Little Green’s Paradise – paired with a sunburst mirror and bright accessories the traditional print looks really fresh. 

15. Add height with stripes

(Image credit: Sandberg)

Nothing says sophistication and elegance quite like an immaculate vertical stripe. And is it just us or does a stripe always seem to instantly give a bedroom a luxury hotel vibe? Striped wallpaper is also a failsafe way to make a small bedroom feel larger as it elongates the walls, as perfectly demonstrated by this wallpaper.

• Find more small bedroom ideas in our design guide.

16. Cover all angles of walls

(Image credit: Francis Dzikowski)

Maybe your bedroom is at the top of the house, in a converted loft, or maybe the walls are just a bit oddly angled. Celebrate your weirdly shaped and sloping walls by wallpapering them.  

We love how in this bedroom, Cole & Sons’ Woods has been used on the angled walls to give the illusion that the room is almost double the height.  

17. Play on tiles

(Image credit: Argos)

While wall tiles are more readily associated with the kitchen and bathroom, a patterned finish tile can make a stylish design feature in a bedroom, too, particularly when paired with bohemian or Morrocan-inspired prints and textures.

But, rather than tiling in a bedroom – which can be expensive and time consuming – why not consider opting for a tile-effect wallpaper instead? Opt for a neutral base and paper up to the height of a dado rail to ensure the space isn’t overwhelmed by pattern. For a similar monochrome tile-effect wallpaper, try Cole & Son .

18. Choose a large scale pattern for more of an impact

(Image credit: Farrow & Ball)

Sometimes, color doesn’t need to be the ‘thing’, the pattern can be the star of the show instead – which is the case with this large Helleborus motif design from Farrow & Ball. It has a beautiful linear quality that is eye-catching in its neutral colorway. These shades are easy to accessorize especially if you love off-whites and textures. Sheepskin throws on the bed, warm wood furniture and hints of fresh green will all be great choices. 

19. All shades of pink

(Image credit: @agi_at_59)

Pink isn’t reserved solely for our children’s bedrooms… And by using it in a wallpaper that will flatter other tones around the space, it will make a bedroom gorgeous and grown up (enough) as Agi has done.

• Bedroom design: all the style advice and inspiration you need.

20. Choose a traditional but bright bedroom wallpaper 

(Image credit: Little Greene)

This bedroom wallpaper is a beautiful example of a late 19th century wallpaper printing, so if you have a period property and want to recreate the rooms then this is the kind of design to look for. It is flamboyant and vibrant, and yes, on the pricier end of the scale, but these wallpapers can be used sparingly to help your budget if you have one. This design papered on one wall, alcoves or a fireplace will still look striking and you can paint the other walls in a tone from the print.

Current trends

Wallpaper today is presented in such a wide range that literally everyone can choose the right option for themselves. At the same time, fashion trends in 2021 dictate the use of not only classic wallpaper colors, but also quite bold prints. For example, in the form of a starry sky or a map of the world, as well as textures imitating an aged wall, concrete, etc. Non-standard shades of coatings come to the fore, which makes it possible to obtain unique interiors.

For fans of more classic solutions, floral motifs remain in trend. But if earlier it was a small pattern with roses or wild flowers, today volumetric patterns are in trend. In addition, trendy bedroom design ideas 2021 welcome checkered and geometric patterns. Monochromatic design does not give up its positions, as well as the method of combining wallpapers of different colors and textures.

When choosing the best wallpaper for the bedroom, look at one of the successful color schemes:

Calming and spacious blue;

Green for relaxation and stress relief;

Cream and similar bed tones, which become a neutral backdrop for bright accents;

Dark tones like chocolate and blue add a cozy feel to the room and promote relaxation and sleep.

[box type=”error” align=”” class=”” width=””] Please note : red and orange tones are not the best variation for the bedroom, because they provoke irritation and do not give normal to fall asleep. Lilac tones tend to give rise to a feeling of anxiety, and rich yellow tones overly invigorate[/box]

Varieties of wallpaper

Let’s list the main types of this popular material, in whose variety you can easily get lost.

Paper is a traditional variety that is affordable, environmentally friendly and easy to apply. True, such wallpapers are of little practicality, are easily subjected to mechanical stress and are short-lived;

Vinyl – made from paper or interlining with PVC top coating. They wash well and serve for a long time, however, they almost do not let air through, which is not the best option for sleep;

Non-woven – fabric-like wallpaper with extraordinary aesthetic characteristics, characterized by strength and durability;

Textile – multi-layered coverings of paper, or artificial or natural fabrics, acting as the front part. Such a coating boasts aesthetics, environmental friendliness and, of course, durability, however, it needs constant cleaning and is quite expensive;

Liquid — perfectly mask wall irregularities due to high elasticity and look original;

Acrylic – imply the application of acrylic on the paper layer, and then the drawing. Such wallpapers can boast of decorativeness, environmental friendliness and durability;
made from natural materials – have an unusually elegant look and are absolutely safe for health. Made of wood and bamboo, such pseudo-panels will become an original decoration for any bedroom, bringing a particularly warm and cozy atmosphere to it;

Glass fiber – the basis for their production is a special fiberglass, which guarantees them a long service life. In addition, these wallpapers boast fire safety, amazing durability and anti-allergic properties.

Selection of wallpaper according to the style of the bedroom design

When choosing the best wallpaper for the bedroom, you need to start from the style of its design. It is she who predetermines the preferred patterns, tones and texture of wall decoration. Provence. If the room is decorated in a Provence style, pastel colors such as beige, bluish and soft green are suggested. Regarding the drawing, we can say that the coating with floral motifs looks the most relevant.

Contemporary. For the contemporary style, combining elements of classic and modern, the use of light gray and light sand tones has become traditional. In order to make the interior brighter, a combined version of gluing with a rich color on one of the walls is welcome. The main condition is that a bright shade should be present in other decor or furniture.

Loft . The loft style implies the absence of wall decoration, however, there are stylized wallpapers that reliably imitate a concrete wall, stone or brick surface. Just keep in mind that it’s not worth decorating all four wall surfaces in the bedroom in this way. It is better to imitate a brick wall on one of them, and decorate the other three with light wallpaper.

Hi-tech . Fashionable wallpaper 2021 for a high-tech or modern bedroom should be simple and concise. In addition to traditionally monophonic models, you can look at material with a geometric or abstract pattern.

Art deco. In Art Deco interiors, contrasting wallpapers with flowing ornaments are glued to maintain style.

Classic . A bedroom in the spirit of the classics involves the use of light-colored wallpapers with large patterns, such as floral ornaments, stripes or a luxurious damask print.

Scandinavian style , extremely fashionable in 2021, involves the use of grayish or snow-white wallpapers. True, they are welcome only if there are bright decorative elements in the room. Keep in mind that this style is far from intricate prints, but accepts geometric patterns.

Rustic country style does not stand for pastel colors and intrusive floristry. Wallpaper within its framework is better to choose with a pattern in the form of a cage, however, taking into account the fact that it is inappropriate for a small room. In addition, country allows a pattern in the form of a vertical strip, but not a contrasting one.

Combined wallpaper

Combined wallpaper for the bedroom is a great idea. The designers even came up with a special term that sounds like an “accent wall”. It involves the use of a brighter color or print at the head of the bed.

The combination itself can be vertical, horizontal (suitable only for rooms with high ceilings), the above-mentioned zoning character, or imply the creation of accentuating panels. It is important to note that for a bedroom, in comparison with the same living room, when combining, it is better not to choose a contrast of bright colors. It would be much more correct to focus on one neutral color, like gray or beige, and one accent color.

While combining wallpaper shades is not that difficult, combining their textures is not an easy task. Indeed, in this case there are many nuances and rules for combining. Therefore, before you start sticking wallpaper of two types, consider the following aspects:0147 Ceiling height – the type of combination itself and the preferred pattern and color of the wallpaper depend on it;

Room area — with an emphasis on it, you should choose the optimal shade, remembering that light tones visually expand the boundaries of space, and dark ones vice versa;
thickness and texture of wallpaper for the bedroom – finishing materials should be of the same type and with the same thickness. So you will avoid conspicuous seams in the places of their joining.

Choosing wallpaper

Unfortunately, we do not always have a bedroom of the area that we dream of. Therefore, when decorating a small-sized bedroom in Khrushchev or, conversely, an overly large, overly sunny or shaded bedroom, certain problems often arise. And in addition to the need to take into account the features of an existing interior, it is important not to forget about the possibility of visually correcting the shortcomings of a room with the help of its decoration.

Small bedroom wallpaper

There are a lot of methods for expanding the area with the help of well-chosen wallpapers.

Use solid colors to create an open, airy feel;

Vertically arranged small drawings are allowed , visually stretching the walls;

White and beige finishes will make the room visually more spacious ;

Use of textured surfaces is encouraged , transmitting a beautiful play of chiaroscuro;

Wallpaper with a shiny surface combined with bright lighting will help to visually expand the room;

Designers advise to correct a small bedroom with wallpaper with a diagonal pattern;

Wallpaper combination does not focus on the dimensions of the room.

Wallpaper for a large bedroom

For spacious bedrooms, there are practically no restrictions on finishing. So, you can use saturated shades that are fashionable in 2021, creating from them the so-called. bedside accents. For example, wallpapers in purple, orange or blue will be an excellent accent finish.

If you set the task of making the room visually more compact and at the same time “lifting” its ceiling, take advantage of the technique of pasting part of the ceiling with the same wallpaper as the wall in the headboard area. This method works only if there is an accent design of the wall with a contrasting material.

Wallpaper for a bright bedroom

If your bedroom windows face south, in the summer it is likely to be too hot and stuffy. And when pasting such a room with wallpaper, you can embody a feeling of coolness in its interior. To do this, white, mint or pale blue is chosen as the main shade of wall decoration. And the surface of the material should ideally have a glossy texture.

Wallpaper for a dark bedroom

It would be quite reasonable to cover a dark room with wallpaper in light colors. The dosed presence of yellow, orange and light green colors will be quite appropriate in the interior decoration – they will bring the lack of sunshine to the decoration of the room.

While warm colors tend to make space feel smaller, for a dark room it’s better to choose them, along with minimal patterns, because walls decorated in cool colors will make the room even more gloomy. Whereas warm tones, such as discreet yellow, will add harmony and comfort.

Murals for the bedroom

Although murals in the bedroom are not a new trend, they are still popular. Usually, paper wallpapers from several parts are purchased for wall decoration, allowing you to lay out a whole pattern on the wall. A fairly realistic printed image, correctly inscribed in the interior decoration, will give the room originality, help to relax and relieve the burden of everyday fuss. The best options for images for such a room are landscapes or abstractions.

By approaching the design of the bedroom interior with all responsibility, you can create the most comfortable and beautiful space that will contribute to a good rest and the pleasure of waking up every day. Calm soft colors and patterns on wall surfaces will give your head a rest, and creative ideas will fuel creativity. Unleash your imagination, take into account the recommendations of venerable designers and go ahead – create the interior of your dreams!

Modern wallpapers 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021: bedroom design ideas Therefore, despite the fact that fashion trends dictate the use of paint for wall decoration, designers still often offer wallpaper for the bedroom. But this does not mean that they cannot be trendy: no “grandmother’s” flowers and ridiculous patterns. See how to make your bedroom super stylish with modern wallpapers 2018.

Classic

Perhaps the most common style in bedroom design. It is timeless, so you should not worry that in a couple of years your interior will go out of fashion. But you need to remember one thing: the classics are not cheap. If you find budget wallpapers with monograms and gilding, you should not buy them. Look for more neutral options. They will definitely not play a cruel joke with you and instead of a luxurious interior, they will not create a feeling of bad taste.

As for wallpapers with an active pattern, it is better to use them only on one of the walls. In the bedroom, this is usually the space behind the head of the bed. It is best to add such wallpapers in plain colors to match one of the colors that are in the picture. You can read more about how to combine wallpapers correctly here.

If you prefer wallpapers with a frequent pattern, you should choose a fairly discreet textile. Solid color is perfect, as well as with patterns of another theme in the same color scheme. What does this mean: you don’t need to choose curtains or a bedspread with the same pattern for floral wallpaper, on the contrary, pay attention to geometry or just an expressive texture.

Recently, a barely noticeable pattern that begins to “play” when the lighting changes has become more and more popular. This allows you to add extra volume to the space and slightly veil solutions that seem too bold so far. For example, instead of just black wallpaper, use black wallpaper with a slightly noticeable classic pattern.

Nature motifs

Nature motifs are often used in classic interiors, but we decided to separate them into a separate category, because this is a very stable trend that has not lost its relevance for several years. One of the most interesting incarnations: a white background, on which a light pattern is applied with mother-of-pearl paint. These wallpapers will fit perfectly in almost any style.

But if one trend at a time is not enough for you, look for models that are based on several at once. As everyone knows, the tropics are a really hot topic in design right now. But not everyone is ready to accept such bright colors in the bedroom. Therefore, designers have come out of the situation and offer to use images of tropical plants, but in pastel colors. And this is a new trend!

And, of course, speaking about the interior of the bedroom, one cannot do without mentioning the wallpaper depicting insects, birds and animals. Usually such motifs look very gentle and elegant. If you can’t decide in any way whether it’s yours or not, you can glue not the whole wall, but make only panels of wallpaper with a pattern, where they are easy to replace.

Classics is not close to you at all? It does not matter, natural motifs are used in other styles. The simpler, as if hand-drawn, the image of a plant or flower, the better it will look, for example, in the Scandinavian style. And if you have found a wallpaper of your dreams, but are not ready to adjust the entire interior for them, it’s also not a question: a mixture of styles this season is only welcome.

Stripes

Not the most common solution for the bedroom because of the apparent severity at first glance. In fact, the stripe pattern is very convenient: it will allow you to visually change the shape of the room in the way you need. Vertical stripes will raise the ceiling, while horizontal stripes will expand the space. In addition, if the pattern is made in pleasant colors without deliberate pomposity, it will give the bedroom an atmosphere of relaxation, and not rigor at all.

Although this is also quite a suitable option for the classics. Again, we remind you of the main rule: no more than one wall, even if the wallpaper is still left.

Stripes are great if you want to give your bedroom a touch of nautical style. Just don’t act head-on: leave decorations from anchors and helms for the nursery. Just add more white, raw wood, rough fabrics and themed decor that remotely tunes in to the theme: caskets, unusual watches, paintings, books.

Geometric

Another wallpaper trend that has finally reached the bedroom. Geometric patterns will look great in Scandinavian style, loft style and minimalism. With such a neutral background, interesting details will play in a new way.

But don’t limit yourself to just these styles. A geometric polka dot pattern will help create a very delicate atmosphere in the bedroom of a young girl. And careless uneven lines are suitable for those who are not used to standard solutions.

Playing with color and texture

As we said above, the most popular type of wall decoration today is painting. So the designers decided to combine the visual effects of painting with the tactile sensations of wallpaper. If it seems that a not very skilled master just painted the walls for you – stains and transitions from one color to another are visible – quickly go to the checkout with such wallpaper: it will look very cool in the interior.

True, you need to remember that perfect wall preparation is needed for gluing them. But if there are any hints of patterns, the situation ceases to be critical. By the way, one of the most common drawings in 2018 is variations on the theme of clouds.

You will be surprised, but photo wallpapers are back in everyday life. Only no more forest edges and roads in the autumn park. Everything is very restrained and concise. The ideal solution is mountains in a light haze. Or an image in which everyone can see their own.

The latest trend that we will name is just coming into fashion, but believe me, it will be a real bomb. The combination of several patterns and textures on the wallpaper is a new word in interior design. Among your friends, you will definitely be the first. You can study the rating of the best manufacturers of interior doors on our website.

If you don’t know where to start, pay attention to wallpaper in one color scheme, of which several should be just plain. As a contrast, it is better to use only one color, the rest can be added with the help of accessories. Just look how stylish and beautiful it is!

In a bedroom that is conducive to rest and good sleep, the right choice of wall coverings is as important as a quality orthopedic mattress. In this article, we explain how to choose wallpaper for the bedroom and share inspiring photos.

Photo: de Gournay

Which material should I choose?

The bedroom is the least prone to everyday pollution like household stains on the walls or traces of children’s creativity, so the choice is wide. Let’s analyze the most common options.

1. Paper and non-woven

Considered “breathable” and hypoallergenic, although there is an opinion that such wallpapers are unreliable and may tear during pasting. In fact, both paper and non-woven options are durable, wear-resistant and resistant to sunlight, although not to the same extent as vinyl, but provided that they are produced by European or American factories in the middle and premium segments.

2. Vinyl

An artificial material made of polyvinyl chloride is applied to a paper or non-woven base. The word “artificial” should not confuse: good quality vinyl also “breathes”, does not emit anything toxic and is quite safe.

The most realistic photo panels and 3D wallpapers are almost always vinyl. Plus, such wallpapers are able to imitate with reliable accuracy:

• the texture of any fabrics
• metal and stone surfaces
• brick wall
• leaf impressions
• animal skins
• brush strokes
• cracked paint

As for the base substrate, it does not affect the performance of the coating in any way. The difference between the paper and non-woven bases is only that in the first case, the master will need to coat both the wall and the wallpaper with glue, and in the second, only the wall.

3. Textile

Acrylic, cotton, polyester or mixed threads, solid fabric (often jacquards) or fringe are glued onto a paper or non-woven base. These wallpapers look like real fabric and are very pleasant to the touch. True, they are capricious in care: they cannot be wetted (at all), you can only vacuum or gently shake off the dust with a dry cloth.

Design: Marburg

4. With the addition of natural materials

The most spectacular and exotic – with bamboo leaves, liana and jute fibers, cane and sisal, covered with mica, cork or raw stone. Important: there is a high probability that after gluing the seams will be clearly visible on the wall. Do not rush to scold the master: perhaps this is a technological feature of the material.

Design: Texam

How to choose sustainable wallpapers?

We advise you to approach this issue thoroughly: toxic, poor quality wallpaper in the bedroom is harmful fumes, bad smell, bad sleep and headaches. Do not believe the unfounded statements from the series “vinyl wallpapers are not eco-friendly, not like paper”, better look at the icons on the labels of the rolls.

Any wallpaper is safe and non-toxic if it has:

• CE marked. This means that the materials comply with European directives for the quality of construction products;
• FSC® label. An indicator that only paper and interlining that have been certified by the international Forest Stewardship Council were used in production;
• sign
  Gütegemeinschaft Tapete e. V. They celebrate German wallpaper that meets the standards of safety for health and the environment.

Design: Morris & Co

About noise-insulating wallpaper

It is not necessary to rely on wallpaper in arranging a quiet bedroom, it is better to provide sound insulation for walls, floor and ceiling, install multi-chamber windows, lay carpet.

At the same time, the bedroom can be a little quieter:

• thick vinyl or textile wallpaper;
• wallpaper with flock, imitation suede
  or velor;
• tufted wallpaper. They are made on the basis of dense fabric and artificial pile. They cope well with noise in modern offices and other public spaces, but there are drawbacks – they are an artificial material that accumulates dust and static electricity.

Design: Pavel Burmakin

What prints, patterns and textures are on trend?

In order to radically change or simply refresh the walls of the bedroom, it is not necessary to focus only on the novelties of fashionable European exhibitions. It is enough to study the current trends and trends over the past one or two years and choose the option to your liking. In this post – some modern wallpaper ideas for the bedroom, photos are attached.

1. Textiles and imitations

“Winter” textures like matting, suede, any wicker or knitted textures are a win-win option for the bedroom. However, such prints will make any room more comfortable.

2. Complex geometry

And it is precisely complex, multi-component or combining two or more shades. Example: bedroom wallpaper (photo below) is easy to combine with textiles by duplicating colors in curtains, pillows, bedspreads.

3. Multicolour

Long-term trend – background coatings, including several colors intertwined with each other, and not only close in tone like lilac and blue, but also complex, saturated shades. Look for such options at French wallpaper factories. In general, the French are masters of intricate, almost intuitive combinations, apparently, this is in their blood.

4. Watercolors and gradient

This beautiful trend does not lose ground for several seasons, and upholsterers turn to it every now and then, rethinking it in new and new collections, and each time in a different way. Viscous, blurry colors, smoothly flowing from one shade to another – why not the idea of ​​​​wallpaper for the bedroom?

Design: Missoni home

5. Floristics

Here – any plants, flowers, “immortal” already tropics. Today, this wallpaper trend is divided into two main areas: floristry in monochrome colors, such as brown, beige or gray, and, on the contrary, the most realistic images of flowers, green branches and leaves, and sometimes insects and birds.

6. Wallpaper with a metallic sheen

Shining metal in the interior is a trend that is gaining popularity both in the West and in Russia.

7. 3D images

Add a three-dimensional panel with an illusion pattern to the wall – and no decor is needed.

8. Photo wallpapers and photo panels

The trend is floral and plant motifs, macro photography and something unexpected, for example, stylized sea waves.

9. Fashion wallpapers

When catwalk fashion brands take up wallpaper design, it is always beautiful and in demand. Look for calm “sleeping” options at Fendi, Armani Casa, Missoni home, Ralf Lauren home.

Design: Armani Casa

Which prints are out of fashion anymore?

Designers and customers have noticeably cooled off:

• wallpaper with damask pattern;
• prints in the form of simple diamonds and zigzags;
• to a photo panel depicting panoramas of popular cities.

Design: Sanderson

Which color scheme should I choose?

This is a matter of taste, but you should definitely avoid flashy, neon shades. But you should not be afraid of dark and saturated shades: they will add comfort and intimacy to the bedroom.

Design: Sanderson

How to combine different designs?

In order not to worry during the selection whether textures and shades will “make friends”, choose combinations from one collection. Here are some win-win combinations:

• Accent wall + monochrome companion + neutral furniture. Usually the wall at the head becomes the accent, less often the wall opposite.

Photo: de Gournay

• Catchy wallpaper + neutral furniture.
  

• Neutral wallpaper + accent furniture. Another option: pick up neutral and furniture, and wallpaper, and textiles and decor – bright.

Design: Ludmila Uzikova

Which finishes can be combined with wallpaper?

If you want something creative and more complex mixes, try combining wallpaper with paint, plaster or wall panels. So that the junction of materials is not visible, delimit them with moldings where necessary, or paste over and paint different walls.

Combining wallpapers of different types, for example, non-woven and vinyl, is a controversial technique. It is better not to do it yourself and trust the designer.

Pay attention to the tendency to wallpaper the ceiling or a small part of it, as well as screens, fragments of bedside tables, lamp shades.

+5 tips for choosing wallpaper for the bedroom

1. Consider the style of the room and the covering

• Classic and neoclassic

These trends love symmetry and stripes of different widths, geometric prints, fleur de lis pattern.

Design: Olga Solnyshkova

• French Country and Provence

It is good to complement such a bedroom with wallpaper with a pattern of toile de jouis, small flowers, Provence rose or stripes.

Design: Nadezhda Evdokimova

• Art Deco

The must-haves of this style are elongated, broken prints and verticals.

Photo: www.cuttingedgestencils.com

• Art Nouveau

Unthinkable without plant motifs. There are many of them in the drawings of the English upholsterer William Morris, they are now at the peak of popularity and just what you need for the bedroom.

• 70s style

For such a bedroom, choose wallpaper in muted shades of orange, brown, olive. Prints: simple large flowers, smooth elongated lines.

• Scandinavian

Solid colors are the best choice for a Scandinavian style bedroom.

Design: Ya Interiors

• Modern and eclectic

Almost anything can be used in these rooms.

Design: Studio 8

2. Make a moodboard

For example, in Pinterest or Morpholio Board. And when the bed, bedside table, dressing table, wardrobe and carpet are brought together, it will be much easier to decide which wallpaper is best for you – dark or light, printed or plain, and so on.

Design: Loymina

3. Take a roll or a catalog to try on

This is necessary to understand how the selected wallpaper will behave in the bedroom (photos of the interiors of the rooms will not help in choosing wallpaper in the salon, as well as photos of the wallpaper itself, since the color rendition of the camera may distort actual colors).

Design: Elena Uchaeva

4. Leave a roll in reserve

It may not be enough, even if the wallpaper is calculated correctly, this is normal. Plus, you may need to re-glue some area, and wallpapers from different batches differ from each other in tone and texture, sometimes significantly.

Design: Svetlana Yurkova, Elena Nikitina

5. Don’t ignore the factory’s advice on pasting

Even if your master is an experienced professional, give him instructions with advice from the manufacturer: let him read it.

• 7. Tips for choosing two types of wallpaper

The classic monotonous solution for creating bedroom interiors will always be in demand. But if there is a desire to come up with a design for a room in fashionable and stylish colors, then you can stop at such an option as creating a bedroom interior with two types of wallpaper.

The finishing materials market today offers an incredible selection of wallpapers of all shades and textures. Choosing them exactly for your interior, they coordinate the color combination, style of the room, its dimensions. Even inexpensive budget options, correctly and correctly chosen, will turn an ordinary bedroom into an original and stylish room. Having solved at the same time a lot of such tasks as visual expansion of space, zoning, focusing on the right places in the room.

Factors influencing the selection of two types of wallpaper

In order for the result of wallpapering to look natural and harmonious, it is necessary to pay attention to a number of parameters.

Firstly, the choice of type of wallpaper is often dictated by such characteristics of the room as the height of the ceiling. With parameters less than 2.5 m, it is customary to take lighter shades with a small pattern. Wallpaper without a hard texture will look good. With very low ceilings, a light base and vertical stripes will help visually stretch the room up. To do this, take a combined wallpaper with a central pattern or two canvases that match the main color.

For rooms with high ceilings (from 3 m), wallpaper with a large, clear pattern is chosen as a companion, as in the photo. This design technique is also used: highlighting walls with horizontal stripes of different colors.

Secondly, when designing, we look at the area and geometry of the bedroom. In a large room, saturated colors are used. An option with a dark design or with the addition of a light large pattern to it would also be appropriate here. Small rooms in classic design require light surfaces. But modern fashion and style does not limit the choice of shade.

Combining wallpaper will also cope with such a problem as a long and narrow room. It will be possible to visually correct its design if the walls along the width of the perimeter are decorated in a light tone, and in part it should go to adjacent, longer surfaces. This technique will make the room compact.

Thirdly, when choosing two types of wallpaper in the interior of a bedroom, you need to be careful with the texture and width of the canvases. If the connection of adjacent pieces occurs along the wall, their dissimilarity will be too noticeable. The way out will be the design of opposite surfaces with excellent types of wallpaper, and it is better to dock them in the corners, which will make the difference in the canvases invisible.

Reasons for using wallpaper in two colors

Companion wallpapers today are considered a sign of style. Often this design of the bedroom is chosen by young and creative natures. But there are cases when it is necessary for a number of reasons, and plain surfaces may not cope with the existing problems:

• Zoning. In the interior of the bedroom, two types of wallpaper help to visually highlight certain areas, for example, they allocate a small area for a workplace or a place to play, if it is a nursery, as in the photo. In the rest room for two boys or girls, the walls are designed in such a way that each child creates his own separate personal space.
• Concealing surface imperfections or highlighting. Combined wallpapers with a large pattern and embossed texture distract the eye from the flaws of the walls and ceilings, masking uneven surfaces or corners. Wall murals that hide defective walls and visually expand the space also become an ideal option. For uneven corners, the following recommendation is suitable: wallpapers of different colors are joined not at the very corner, but 15 centimeters away from it along one of the walls. To do this, draw a straight vertical line, which will become the border of two colors. In addition, accenting will help highlight the desired part of the room. For example, the wall at the head of the bed looks very impressive with wallpaper of large carpet patterns.
• Visual expansion of space. This method is often resorted to if you need to visually enlarge a small room. It is also suitable for the reverse situation, when a too large bedroom needs to be made more comfortable and cozy. Design with low ceilings will be transformed by wallpaper in two colors, if one is pasted on the walls with a call to the other, ceiling by 15–20 cm.
• Economy. Combining wallpaper of two types at their different cost, you can get a little money savings.

Types of wallpaper to combine in the design of the bedroom

Various types of wallpaper are used for the bedroom, but it is more rational to paste over the walls with such: paper, non-woven, vinyl or fabric-based materials. Each of them has its own advantages and disadvantages, but, in addition, the combination with each other is also taken into account if you want to use two independent types at once. Wallpapers have a different service life, which must be taken into account when using them, and also differ in the width and thickness of the rolls.

Manufacturers of finishing materials offer many ready-made collections of wallpaper-satellites or, as they are also called, wallpaper-partners.

But in the design of the bedroom, the room in which a person spends a third of his life, you need to choose wallpaper from environmentally friendly materials. Toxic surfaces that release a lot of harmful substances into the air are unacceptable in this room.

Paper, vinyl and non-woven materials work well together. But when using different types, overhead borders and moldings are not always suitable. And it is better to dock such panels in the corners.

It is not recommended to select combinations for textile-based materials. It is difficult to find partners for such wallpapers, because they have the following characteristics: sound and heat insulation, aesthetics, and environmental friendliness. And although they look very noble and original, they are very thin in texture, which is difficult to hide when junctions with other types of materials. In addition, they have a higher price.

Photowall-paper is created especially for a combination. It is only necessary to choose the right design for the main tone of the room so that the pattern fits harmoniously and stylishly into the interior.

Rules for choosing a color palette of two types of wallpaper

When choosing colors for decorating a bedroom, they try to foresee whether specific shades can create the right atmosphere, whether they will contribute to relaxation. Too unusual large patterns, poisonous shades are hardly suitable for a room reserved for sleeping. But they also take place only if you want to allocate a separate zone for them, for example, for work. And this part of the room is designed so as not to fall into the field of view during falling asleep. It can be a wall next to the bed, an area at the door.

The level of lighting in the bedroom also influences the choice of shades. Depending on which side the windows of the room face, choose different colors. Dark shades will be indispensable for well-lit rooms, and light, light tones – for the bedroom on the north side.

Influences the choice of color scheme and design style. So, the design of a bedroom with combined wallpaper of 2 types with classic patterns or floral ornaments is suitable for Provence and romanticism, see the photo. And for ethnic trends, materials of bright natural shades are acquired. As the main pattern for the classics, stripes are preferable. And hi-tech is a cold range of geometric shapes. For baroque and rococo, deep shades with rich finishes are used. Examples of such styles can be seen in the photo.

When deciding to buy wallpaper in two colors for the bedroom, you need to consider the following aspects:

• uniform intensity;
• dilution of bright colors and patterns;
• matching graphic elements.

Another important aspect in the selection of combined wallpapers is the color combination. There are shades that can harmonize perfectly with each other, and shades that do not match. For example, green, blue, gray are suitable for red. But it does not look good paired with purple, brick, brown. To take into account all the color nuances and create a harmonious and comfortable bedroom space, you can use the color wheel. Pay attention to the photo.

Bedroom wallpaper color tips

A few tips from well-known designers will help you decide on a specific color for two types of wallpaper:

• Shades of pink, red, orange are perfect for the matrimonial bedroom. But don’t make them the main ones. But as partner wallpapers, they will add a little passion to the interior.
• If the bedroom serves only as a rest room and is intended for sleeping, choose warm, calm colors: white, beige, ivory.
• To create a working area in the bedroom, gray, green and blue tones are suitable, which will help you get in the mood for work.
• If you’re an owl and love cozy evenings, your choices are sunset colors, deep blues and deep blues, purples and dark browns. And if you like early morning, then the colors of the interior should be pink, yellow, light green and coral, like a sunny dawn.

Practical solutions for decorating a bedroom with two types of wallpaper

Interior stripes

Striped wallpaper is a classic wall decor option. But having received many shades and different widths, they become a great addition to the main background of the room.

• You can choose wallpaper with matching stripes and combine it with solid colours.
• The same strips are run vertically at the top of the wall and horizontally at the bottom, producing a very interesting effect. This separation is usually accompanied by a special bumper pattern. An example in the photo.
• For a wide strip with a predominant pattern on the sides, wallpaper with thin stripes is selected. This finish creates a versatile bedroom design. According to psychologists, women prefer floral patterns, while men prefer geometric patterns and stripes.
• There is also the option of alternating stripes with a pattern. For example, in this style they withstand a wall, and the rest are pasted over with one of them.

Wall accent

This variant of using a combination of two types of wallpaper is called Scandinavian. With it, one of the walls is pasted over with a material of a certain type. And the other three – the main, as a rule, monophonic. Using this method brings revival to the interior and makes it more spectacular and stylish. But the design of the room depends on which wall is emphasized:

• More often choose the one that is next to the bed, as in the photo. Any pattern and color is suitable for her, they do not affect the quality of rest.
• Bright and contrasting ornaments on the wall opposite the bed will spoil the rest, they will attract attention and interfere with relaxation. Therefore, the wallpaper on this wall should not be made very saturated.
• An accent wall with a window looks great. A suitable design of curtains or blinds, as well as an extension of the window sill as a reading sofa or dressing table, will only emphasize the intended solution with two types of wallpaper.

Allocation of bed

To create a cozy and comfortable corner in the area of ​​a bed, it will be possible to highlight it with the help of partner wallpapers, as in the photo. This option is especially relevant in rooms with a large area. A hundred years ago, a canopy was used above the bed, separating the sleeping area from the rest of the room. Today it is enough to stick other wallpapers with patterns or a suitable tone.

Creating a panel with two types of wallpaper

In ancient rooms belonging to the upper class, one often sees framed fabric panels on the walls. Such an element of decoration was available only to the rich, because it was decorated with expensive and high-quality material: silk, textured or embossed wallpaper.

Today, this option is created by two types of wallpaper and is limited to a molding frame. It is great for a classic interior, as well as Provence and country styles. It is also appropriate for pasting a niche, then the patterns and texture of the wallpaper are selected to match the same style with the rest of the room.

The following combinations of two types of wallpaper also look original:

• The color of the pattern and the main background on one wall are swapped on the other, as in the photo. For example, a light ornament on a blue background is combined with light wallpaper with a blue pattern.
• Wallpapers and such a combination are produced when they are in the same color range, but differ only in patterns. For example, two walls are pasted over with striped material, and the rest – with a pattern.
• Matching wallpapers are glued in an original way: not with even stripes, but with patterns and curves, which brings sophistication and romanticism to the design of the room.

Original techniques for using two types of wallpaper

The bedroom is the most comfortable area of ​​the room. And in the concept of “comfort” each homeowner puts something of his own. Therefore, the interior of a room in which two types of wallpaper are used can sometimes be even incredible if non-standard techniques were used for its design:

1. There is such a trick as creating a focal point in the design of the bedroom. For him, the main or central wall of the room is pasted over with wallpaper of a bright color or with an unusual large pattern. This method is used to highlight some decorative elements, for example, wall lamps, a fireplace, hangers, paintings and other items.
2. A new unexpected solution for a bold and creative person – a patchwork combination or the so-called “patchwork” technique. It is implemented either on one wall, for example, next to the work area, or in the entire bedroom. The wallpaper is cut into pieces and staggered pasted on the walls with an overlap or butt. But for the rest room, it is advised to still choose wallpaper in warmer and calmer tones.

Two types of wallpaper tips

It’s worth taking a few tips from knowledgeable and experienced builders:

• Wallpapers of the same width are selected, this will help to correctly and easily compose the composition. The simplest solution: buy partner wallpapers that are already arranged in texture and color.
• Purchase finishing materials at one point of sale. This will help to return the surplus, because sometimes it is difficult to calculate the footage accurately to the roll. Or it will allow you to purchase the missing number of wallpapers.
• When combining, it is worth taking wallpapers that are approximately equal in terms of price and quality. Expensive silk-screen printing is unlikely to be appropriate next to a cheap paper option. However, the main criterion for choosing wallpaper is the preference and taste of the owner of the bedroom.
