Four wallpaper ideas to spruce up your bedroom

Published on 22 May 2023

Your bedroom is the inner sanctuary of your home and it should be a space that relaxes you and reflects your tastes. A classic way to create a tranquil boudoir is to use wallpaper - but you don’t need to wallpaper the whole room if this feels overwhelming.

A simple feature wall reflecting your taste in décor can transform your bedroom into an inviting and restful place to return to after a long and stressful day. There is such a diverse array of wallpapers available that you are limited only by your imagination. Current top trends include tropical prints, botanicals, wavy stripes and 1970s retro, to name just a few.

Your property inspiration

The whimsical Turkish lamp motif on the wallpaper in this memorable bedroom in Balugha River Estate, East London, is both whimsical and travel-inspired. The light-hearted feature wall that it creates can help the resident escape the stress of the day and enter an exotic haven. Of course, every wallpaper must be chosen with the occupant of the room’s personality in mind. The other master bedroom in this stunning home is finished off with a soothing-yet-resplendent oriental pattern in metallic shades that both energise and calm the soul.

Make wallpaper a feature in your master bedroom

Wallpaper is an interior décor classic and thanks to advancements in printing technology, you can get just about any image you like made into wallpaper. From plain, textured varieties to landscapes of shape and colour, here are four bedroom-wallpaper ideas to make your home worthy of Instagram.

Choose the right colours

While your wallpaper colour choices should always come down to your tastes, there are various wallpaper colours that are best for bedrooms. The most important thing to know about wallpaper colour is that if the pattern is busy, it’s best to stick to only one or two colours. This will make wallpaper a focus of the room without having it become overpowering. Neutral and muted tones are often best for bedroom wallpapers. Think metallic shades of silver, rose gold and bronze, together with gentle hues like duck egg, sky blue and dusty pink.

Use wallpaper to make your space bigger

In interior décor, illusions are everything and by choosing the right wallpaper styles and colours, you can make a room look bigger. You may not have thought of your bedroom ceiling as a surface for wallpaper, but decorating this “fifth wall” can create an extra dimension in your room, thereby creating an illusion of greater space. Think of the sky when choosing your motif, and opt for something with clouds or birds to create a peaceful and spacious boudoir.

Brighten your bedroom with wallpaper

In a bedroom that gets little natural light, a light-toned wallpaper can make a world of difference. Opt for a pattern that’s inspired by nature as this will also add to the illusion of light. An alternative approach is to choose a brightly coloured on-trend tropical print to brighten your space.

Bring a sense of whimsy into your space

Thanks to wallpaper, your bedroom can be made to look like a scene from an enchanted forest or a landscape from a faraway land. Wallpaper can help your bedroom to become a place where imagination reigns and where the mundanities of daily life can be forgotten.

Your home should inspire you

Your bedroom is the place where you start and end every day and you deserve to create a room that reflects your tastes within a relaxing and comforting ambience. As a whole, your home should reflect your personality and those of your family members.
