Wallpaper Design Inspiration for your New Home
Wallpaper needn’t be boring, nor should it be overlooked when you plan the interior design of your new home.
Feature wallpaper is for when you want to make a bold statement in your home. From dramatic florals and geometric prints to subtle splashes of colour or detail; you are given seemingly endless amounts of wallpaper choices to choose from at affordable prices – all thanks to the internet.
Your home is your sanctuary, a reflection of you. Go that little bit extra to customize your spaces with wallpaper that reflects the mood you’re trying to create.
Take a look at some inspiring wallpaper examples below (a vast majority of them came from Graham & Brown – check them out, stunning wallpaper collections to choose from) which will hopefully spark some ideas in your head about what direction you want to go in with your own home.
Bold and dark one-toned patterned wallpaper looks great matched with metallic, mirrored accessories and furniture.
Love the ocean? A bit of a surfer? Or like the idea of a rustic shed? Create that in your home with scrapwood wallpaper.
Create a resort-style vibe with ornamental and simplistic patterned wallpaper with that glossy touch.
If there is one place you should dare to go bright red with passion in the home, it should definitely be in the master bedroom.
The kids’ activity room (or your son’s bedroom) would look pretty cool with quirky robot wallpaper.
For those who like the sleek and textured look, go with paintable wallpaper. They come in different textures and can be re-painted over.
Experiment with different wallpaper perspectives if you dare.
Sometimes less is more. Driftwood style wallpaper creates a warm, welcoming living room.
Tribal wallpaper doesn’t have to be in your face, there are subtle versions available on the internet to still have that safari feel without overdoing it.
Step back in time – if you grew up (or you’re a fan) of the 60s and 70s – why not celebrate it through your wallpaper with fresh and funky designs.
Get your kids involved with interactive wallpaper – wallpaper designed so your children can colour it in for you (or glue photos into the frames). It’s a nice sentimental touch that would look good in the nursery or activity room.
Stone wallpaper is an intense option, which may look pretty cool in the home office if you were to transform the office into a small man cave.
When looking at putting wallpaper in the ensuite, you can’t go wrong with shades of grey.
Another alternative for the bathroom is shimmery wallpaper that has bits of mirror in it – why? Because it bounces back natural light, making the bathroom feel more spacious and full of light.
If you enjoy going on your holidays (especially to Tuscany in Italy) then you may enjoy the brushed wood style wallpaper. It is an earthy, rustic feel that would look good even in the laundry.
Brown wallpaper is the new neutral. It can be teamed with almost any colour scheme, creating a chic-masculine vibe
For a sophisticated, royal entrance into the home, consider gold metallic prints when shopping for wallpaper.
For a flirty and feminine look, go for brightly coloured wallpaper prints that make use of white space.
Got that man cave up and running? Don’t forget the wooden log wallpaper to make yourself feel like you’re in a remote cabin.
Beadboard wallpaper is a classic style that is now becoming a hot, modern trend again.
Make the home office your ‘serious zone’ with featured wallpaper that reflects both authority and calmness.
