35 Inspiring Bedroom Wallpaper Ideas

You spend a third of your life in bed, so it’s only appropriate that—in addition to a top-notch mattress and luxurious sheets, of course—your sleeping chambers are up to snuff aesthetically. An easy, not to mention on-trend, way to take your bedroom to the next level is with a chic wallpaper. Not only does the right wallcovering make your space distinctive, but it also has the magic ability—depending on your decorating goals—to make your room feel snug or spacious and to accentuate or diminish features.

The possibilities are endless, as the homes shown in ELLE DECOR prove. You can swath your sleeping space floor-to-ceiling with a stylish wallcovering, as Lorenzo Castillo did in a Parisian pied-à-terre, or apply it to a single wall as an extension of the space surrounding your headboard, as Nickey Kehoe did in one California cool home. And with an endless variety of stick-and-peel options available, adding color and pattern to your bedroom walls has never been easier.

We’ve scoured our archive to unearth some of our favorite bedroom wallpaper ideas, whether you’re interested in keeping things classic, going a bit wild, or trying something new. One thing’s for sure: with the right pattern, the place where you catch some z’s will never catch a case of the blahs.

1

Mixed Patterns

Frank Frances

In a cozy guest room in her upstate New York home, ELLE DECOR A-List interior designer Sheila Bridges applied layer upon layer of colorful patterns. The classic green wallcovering by Adelphi Paper Hangings picks up the mint hues in the vintage kantha quilt and the upholstered headboard.

2

Matchy-Matchy (In a Good Way!)

Ricardo Labougle

Interior designer Amaro Sánchez de Moya went wild for patterns in his maximalist, but clasically informed, pied-à-terre in Seville, Spain—and you can too. Here, Sánchez de Moya applied the same leafy trellis pattern by Zuber on the furniture, cushions, and walls.

3

Delicate Florals

Serena Eller Vainicher

Wallpaper is uncommon in Italy, but the owners of a Rome apartment (perched perfectly above the Colosseum) asked that design duo Alivisi Kirimoto use it throughout their home. The chosen floral wallcovering, designed by Romo, appears in three different versions throughout the home, including this pale variation in the bedroom. The delicate blooms converse with the trees and plants just outside the window.

4

Nature-Inspired Textures

Douglas Friedman

ELLE DECOR A-Lister Martyn Lawrence Bullard may be known for his opulent pattern play, but in this Hawaiian getaway, he opted to let the lush tropical surroundings do the heavy lifting. In lieu of a look-at-me wallcovering, he selected an organic, bark textured material by Caba Company to clad the room.

5

All-Over Pattern

Isabel Parra

If you love a pattern, why just apply it to the walls? Designer Remy Renzullo took a page from the book of decorating greats of yore (think Billy Baldwin and Dorothy Draper) and covered this Hamptons bedroom entirely in the same Pierre Frey fabric. After all, there’s never too much of a good thing.

6

Mural-Like Motifs

Pascal Chevallier

Mathilde Favier, an impossibly chic executive at Dior, brought the catwalk to her Paris bedroom, which features a purple carpet design featured on the fashion house’s runway. And though the wallspace above her bed isn’t technically wallpaper (it’s actually a wall mural by Rosie Mennem), we love how the pretty cherry blossom motif ties the entire room together.

7

Luxurious Damask

Thomas Loof

Fabric is a fabulous alternative to wallpaper. We adore this de Gournay damask, in a gleaming deep salmon colorway, that designer Summer Thornton selected for a bold Chicago prewar apartment.

8

Arts and Crafts–Inspired Wallpaper

Amy Neunsinger

Star Los Angeles chef Suzanne Goin tapped ELLE DECOR A-List firm Nickey Kehoe to create a calming retreat away from her hectic restaurant kitchens. In the bedroom, the design duo selected an Arts and Crafts movement–inspired wallcovering from Lewis & Wood. The pattern lends the feeling of being nestled in an enchanted forest.

9

Pretty Carnations

Ryann Ford

All-over pattern doesn’t verge into heavy territory, thanks to a white ground and a sweet floral print. Architect Paul Lamb worked with a Texas client to create adorable reading (and nap) nooks throughout this Austin home. Here, the pattern on the walls and curtains is from Alex Conroy Textiles.

10

Retro Florals

Ryann Ford

We couldn’t help but showcase one more napping spot in the same home designed by Architect Paul Lamb. A bold, retro floral called Hello Yarrow by Abigail Borg feels neutral due to oatmeal upholstery and off-white walls.

11

Dense Botanicals

Alanna Hale

Ferns and fronds and dandelions, oh my! Designer Jessica Davis extended the headboard of this bed using a leafy green wallpaper by Marthe Armitage in a bedroom located in a restored 1970s home.

12

Graphic Blooms

Annie Schlechter

Who ever said gold is for winners? This soothing, silvery bedroom in a Florida home designed by Rodney Lawrence gets a bit of glamour with the Art Deco–inspired de Gournay wallcovering.

13

Eclectic Leaves

Alanna Hale

It’s a bug’s life in this charming twin bedroom in a Bay Area home designed by Jessica Davis. Here, the red leaf-print wallpaper by A-Street Prints creates the perfect habitat for a host of charming creepy crawlies.

14

Candy Stripes

Michael Sinclair

British home brand House of Hackney is known for its wild, maximalist patterns, but founders Frieda Gormley and Javvy M Royle chose a classic, striped wallpaper for the main bedroom in their London home. The vertical orientation lends additional height to the room’s historic proportion.

15

Lace-Like Patterns

Stephan Julliard

In his French beach home, designer Jean-Louis Deniot wanted to channel the easy-breezy vibe of his seaside setting. To play up the bohemian woven canopy (a custom Deniot design), he selected a complementary wallcovering from Thibaut.

16

Jubilant Pink Cranes

Isabel Parra

If you really want to make a statement, think pink...and maximalist! Fledgeling interior design studio Perifio decorated a guest room in their Hudson, New York, retreat with a riotous pattern of dancing cranes, courtesy of Milton & King.

17

Wild Things Wallcovering

Marili Forastieri

Designer Rodney Lawrence literally took a page out of Maurice Sendak’s book in designing this adorable children’s bedroom in a Long Island, New York, home. The wall features a custom mural with a scene from the beloved children’s book Where the Wild Things Are.

18

Painterly Paper

Shade Degges

This Malibu, California, house designed by Standard Architecture may feature muscular modern proportions and materials, but designer Martha Mulholland was sure to soften things up with lush moments of color and pattern. Here in the bedroom, she selected an opulent floral wallpaper by Lizzo.

19

Hot House Print

Carmel Brantley

Caroline Rafferty’s midcentury modern Palm Beach home is surrounded by hothouse plants. So why not bring those inside? A 4Space palm-print wallpaper turns the space into a lush oasis.

20

Kid-Friendly Mural

Nicole Franzen

For a chic Manhattan residence, design firm Husband Wife wanted to make a children’s room that a kid could grow into. The bedding, lamp, and side table feel grown-up, but the gauzy canopy and fun flower mural by Jeremiah Britton keep things whimsical.

21

Gray and Graphic

Trevor Tondro

For his California bedroom (a onetime abode of Jeopardy! host Alex Trebek), architect Luis Fernandez riffed on the pattern of the geometric rug by selecting a Pierre Frey wallpaper in a mini, similar version of the print.

22

Delicate Vines

Chris Mottalini

Design firm Hendricks Churchill wanted to bring a Connecticut Greek Revival back to its roots and what better way than with a vintage-inspired wallpaper? Here in the main bedroom, the designers chose a Lake August pattern covered in budding vines.

23

Tiers of Turquoise

Ricardo Labougle

Why settle on just one wallpaper when you could have several? The trick, as seen in this Paris home designed by Lorenzo Castillo, is selecting patterns of a similar scale and color palette.

24

Blurred Lines

Simon Upton

If you’re looking to bring some visual interest to your bedroom without going over the top, consider a subtle stripe. In this Pittsburgh Tudor Revival, designer Janine Carendi MacMurray selected a mottled striped wallpaper from Thibaut. Coupled with the crisp white trim, the room feels sunny year-round.

25

Graphic—and Cartographic

Thomas Loof

Unleash you kid’s inner explorer with a fun (and educational) wallcovering. Here in an East Hampton, New York, bunk room designed by Celerie Kemble, the walls are covered in a map-patterned wallpaper by Ralph Lauren Home.

26

Romantic Layers

Alexei Hay

Though it’s in Connecticut, this bedroom designed by Ariel Ashe of the design firm Ashe Leandro, could have been plucked straight from a cottage across the pond. The key to achieving the look? The sweet miniature floral pattern on the walls and on the headboard. Layered antiques create the picture-perfect spot to catch some z’s.

27

Dainty Branches

Mark Roper

This bedroom, in a London home designed by Thomas Hamel, manages to stay serene amid layer upon layer of pattern. The wallcovering in a custom Fromental fabric makes the bed feel like it’s in a garden.

28

Black-and-White Toile

Miguel Flores-Vianna

This room is a masterclass in pattern mixing. And its owner, Nathalie Farman-Farma would know: Her London textile studio Décors Barbares is a favorite of in-the-know designers. Here in her bedroom she balances rich tones against a black-and-white wallcovering designed by Madeleine Castaing for Brunschwig & Fils.

29

Regal Regency

Ricardo Labougle

This bedroom in a grand 18th-century London home received a lavish (and historically accurate!) update from designers Laura Sartori Rimini and Roberto Peregalli of Studio Peregalli. Here in the monochromatic bedroom, the designers heaped on textiles of the same light plum hue—including the floral and chain-link patterns on the walls.

30

Americana Stripes

Brooke Schwab

What could be more American than red, white, and blue? Stripes, of course! In a boys’ bedroom in California, designer Elizabeth Cooper swathed the walls in a blue stripe from Meg Braff Design.

31

Tropical Yet Neutral

James Merrell

If you fear that all-over palm leaf wallpaper is too outré, try one that is in a neutral pattern. Filmmaker Baz Luhrmann and wife Catherine Martin, a costume and set designer, created a calm corner with wallpaper, a bedspread, and cushions all designed by Martin herself for the textile company Mokum.

32

Soothing Texture

Christopher Stark

Grass cloth–covered walls ground this modern Mill Valley, California, bedroom designed by Holly A. Kopman with subtle texture. It’s an understated canvas for bold art.

33

Monochromatic Pattern Play

Douglas Friedman

A tight lattice print is a great backdrop for an open toile headboard in this airy Palm Beach bedroom designed by color guru Jonathan Adler. The blue-on-blue palette is preppy and playful.

34

Earthy Botanicals

Stacy Zarin Goldberg

A busy floral in rich olive makes this warm Washington, D.C., bedroom designed by Zoe Feldman feel garden fresh.

35

Bold Cityscape

Reid Rolls

Punch up any room with this bright and modern design. The mix of irregular stripes and geometric shapes have a hand-drawn look that makes it suitable for kids and contemporary-art-loving adults alike. The wallpaper elevates a playful room in this Nick Olsen–designed home.

    In bedrooms, relaxation, gathering new strength, and dreaming are the most important aspects. These requirements should be met when working on interior design concepts with design wallpapers, because every person has their own personal ideas as to which patterns, designs, and colours have a calming and soporific effect. The dressing room is often adjacent to the bedroom or integrated into it with the help of some clever partitioning. Its aim isn't just to achieve an orderly display and clearly laid out storage of clothes, shoes and accessories: with the right wallpaper, it makes fashion and styling even more fun.

    How much wallpaper should be used in bedrooms?

    In bedrooms, wallpaper can be used for a feature wall, two opposite walls, or even all walls. The choice is entirely yours! Which wallpaper is suitable depends on the type of bed(s) and the available space.

    Double-bed

    A double-bed is usually the visual centrepiece of the room, similar to the sofa in living rooms. As a result, the wall behind it is often the best choice for applying one's favourite pattern wallpaper. This type of feature wall emphasises the central aspect of the double bed, especially if the pattern is large-scale or three-dimensional. The remaining walls should be painted in a neutral colour which matches the wallpaper.

    If the room is relatively large and contains only a few pieces of furniture which are positioned at sufficient distance to the bed, wallpapering all four walls is also an option. However, the pattern should then be on the small side in order to not overwhelm the eye. Alternatively, nature wallpaper models are a good choice, and as their "pattern" is simply the result of the material structure, they can adorn all walls without causing too much visual distraction.

    Single-bed

    A room with a single bed is perfectly suited for a feature wall with a gorgeous design wallpaper. It provides an interesting framework for the bed, putting it at the centre of attention. Choosing the right area for the feature wall should be based mostly on the position of the bed and the room layout. For instance, if the bed is placed sidewise at a wall, this wall is suitable for wallpapering. If the bed is not positioned along a wall, i.e. only the headboard touches it, this or the opposite wall are best suited.

    Bedrooms containing a single bed are often used as multifunctional spaces, where various living areas are combined due to lack of space. Pattern wallpaper can serve as a visual partition between the different areas (much more than just painted walls). However, it is entirely possible to decorate all four walls of a bedroom with a single bed with your favourite wallpaper, just as long as the pattern isn't too large-scale or overwhelming. And just like in double-bed bedrooms, nature or textile wallpapers can create an atmosphere of comfort and cosiness.

    Where should wallpaper be used in bedrooms?

    This is predominately a question of personal preference. One of the factors to take into consideration is perspective (for instance from the bed). If there are large wardrobes in the room, these walls are already out of the picture.

    Adult/Master bedroom

    In master bedrooms, it is mostly the wall where the bed is positioned which is beautified with design wallpaper. The wall opposite the bed can also be integrated into the wallpaper design concept. Covering wooden or plastic headboards with a stunning design wallpaper has become increasingly popular in recent years. Wall projections or partitioning walls in adult bedrooms are also perfect areas for decorating with wallpaper. Those who have a penchant for extravagance and unusual design options may opt to decorate the ceiling with a stunning design wallpaper which will make them float into their own personal dream worlds.

    Which colours are best for bedrooms?

    In bedrooms, wallpaper colours should have a warm, calming effect. The choice of colour, however, is always influenced by personal ideas. For instance, there might be different preferences for males and females.

    Feminine

    Pink, beige, and green are amongst the bedroom wallpaper colours that are considered particularly feminine; a creamy white is also a very popular choice.

    Pink is still THE "girly colour", and even some grown women cannot deny a certain enthusiasm for it. Due to its soothing quality, this combination of red and white is perfect for the boudoir. According to studies, the colour pink lowers the blood pressure and relaxes the muscles.

    Beige is a warm, neutral colour with calming and grounding characteristics. It creates harmony and balance and is a good partner for more dominant or bright colours.

    Green exudes fresh energy - the very thing we aim for after a good night's sleep. It is also the colour of nature in all its beautiful facets, where the mind can take time out and relax. Subtle or mixed hues are better suited to bedrooms than intense, bright shades of green.

    Masculine

    Men tend to like earthy and cooling colours like blue, brown, grey, but black and a very clean white are also popular choices for gentlemen's bedrooms. A mix of contrasting warm or cool and neutral colours often achieves the best results.

    Beyond the blue horizon... In men's bedrooms, royal or maritimeare often the preferred shades of blue. The cool beauty of these colours has a calming effect on body and soul, it is emotionally balancing and soothes away the troubles of the day. The infinity associated with blue skies influences the mood in a positive way, creates a feeling of contentment, and sparks the imagination.

    Strong, manly, rooted in nature - there's hardly another colour which reflects masculine characteristics as much as brown. In the psychology of colours, brown stands for sensual pleasures and the contemplation of being in the moment, in the here and now. Furthermore, the colour brown is an ideal partner for shades of red and orange, which, as pattern colours, can convey brio and passion.

    Grey is the perfect counterpart to primary colours, but it also works great with black and white. All shades of grey exude elegance and can have a purist and industrial effect.

    What is the best method for selecting bedroom wallpaper?

    The pattern of bedroom wallpapers should be relaxing, stimulating, and sensual. Unique materials as found in nature, textile, leather, or glass bead wallpapers emphasise the feeling of well-being we seek in our bedrooms.

    Country house style

    Bedrooms in the country house style benefit from wallpaper models which imitate old/antique or natural materials, e.g. bricks, tiles, or wooden planks. Country house styles are as variable as the regions they come from. Examples for this popular interior design style are plaids, stripes, dots, mille fleurs, and romantic motifs from nature.

    Romantic/classic

    Baroque, Art Nouveau, Art Deco, Oriental ornamentation - classic wallpaper patterns add a sense of sophisticated exclusivity and a certainje ne sais quoito the boudoir. They can be glamorous or gentle, suave or seductive. Imaginative floral ornament patterns add a romantic touch.

    Flowers

    Beautiful blossoms are suitable for a large variety of enchanting bedroom styles. Sumptuous bouquets add sensuality, whilst delicate calyxes make grey mornings that little bit brighter. Wild meadow blossoms and magical flowers let our thoughts drift into idyllic dream worlds.

    Modern styles

    Abstract art, geometric patterns reminiscent of the Bauhaus movement, new interpretations of Art Deco, spiritual fantasy styles, psychedelic motifs, and lush landscapes are all examples for design wallpapers which suit a huge variety of modern bedroom styles. The decisive factor here is intuition, because everyone has their personal preferences when it comes to switching off, relaxing, and dreaming.

    Shabby chic

    The charm of the signs of time, the beauty of patina, and the finesse of the imperfect make Shabby Chic what it is. In bedrooms, it creates a slightly mysterious atmosphere with a cosy character. Weathered wooden planks, old masonry, romantic floral designs, plant tendrils and birds, but also antique-look flock wallpaper are all elements that give this look its authenticity. In terms of colours, Shabby Chic is always light and friendly.

    Wood imitation wallpaper

    Wood is synonymous for comfort and authenticity. In the realm of wallpaper design, this natural material comes in a plethora of varieties. Many natural interior design looks benefit from wood imitation wallpaper, for instance: modern-sophisticated with dark "solid wood" pattern, stylish-arty with colourful wood mosaics, or alpine-authentic with a log cabin motif.

    Which wallpaper types are best for small bedrooms?

    To ensure that the bedroom doesn't look too overwhelming, the chosen wallpaper should make it look bigger, fresh and inviting. Here's the solution: stripe wallpaper. An optical illusion with huge impact.

    Stripes

    Narrow vertical stripes make a small bedroom appear more spacious. When choosing striped wallpaper for small bedrooms, it is important to consider whether the colour scheme doesn't suggest that some of the stripes are wider than others. However, the stripes do not have to be totally straight and linear. Premium-quality textile wallpaper models with warp threads are a great option for those who prefer their stripe wallpaper to have just one colour, as the material itself provides the stripe element. Subtle light-dark effects in the stripe design provide a sense of depth.

    Which wallpaper types are best for white bedrooms?

    White furniture and accessories, with some walls simply painted white, continue to be very muchen voguefor bedrooms. Well-chosen designer wallpaper models are a fantastic way to create dream-oases for Nordic Clean Chic interiors.

    Nordic

    We love the Scandi Style. It feels clean and tidy, never too overloaded, and yet it has an element of whimsy. A great example are wallpapers with 3D geometric patterns, for instance zigzag, diamond shapes, rhombi, and semi-circles in grey, dove-blue, rosé, mauve or pistachio. Black-and-white, scenic-abstract tree motifs, or a winter landscape with a majestic stag, are more outré options for the Nordic Look.

    What is the best way to decorate a bedroom?

    With a few clever tricks and tips, the boudoir can be re-designed without the time- and effort-consuming need to gut it and start from scratch. The appropriate tactics for individual walls or the entire room depend on the scope of the planned wallpapering project.

    Wallpapering a feature wall

    Remove furniture from the wall in question by simply moving each item to another wall or a free corner. In order to ensure the best possible results, the wall usually has to be prepared, which often leads to dirt and dust in the room. It is therefore recommended that furniture and accessories as well as the floor are covered with special protective sheeting. Once preparations have concluded, the wallpaper is put up according to its specific type (non-woven, paper-based).

    Wallpapering all walls

    The most important consideration is being able to work as efficiently as possible within limited spaces. Remove everything from the walls and store it in boxes, labelling them and listing the contents. Removing and re-installing lights/lamps should be left to the experts. Move large or bulky pieces of furniture into the middle of the room to provide access to all walls. If there isn't enough space in the room, you might have to use the hallway or another room. Cover the remaining furniture and the floor with protective sheets. Now prepare each wall and then hang the wallpaper. Always work away from the windows and take note of the daylight and its interplay with the pattern.

    Step-by-step instructions for perfect results

    To make sure that the wallpaper unfolds its full beauty on walls and ceilings, you need to approach the project the right way. From removing old wallpaper to preparing the surface, from cutting the wallpaper and hanging it correctly to special tips and tricks - you can find detailed step-by-step instructions in ourwallpapering instructions.

    What is the best method for hanging wallpaper in attic bedrooms?

    Hanging wallpaper in bedrooms withsloped ceilingsisn't rocket science; you don't have to be a professional, all you need a bit of patience and sufficient time. A handy trick is to cut the length of wallpaper into two pieces.

    Preparing the walls

    Preparing the wallpapering surfaceis the most important basis to ensure a harmonious result. The wall needs to be clean, absorbent, stable, smooth and free of obvious discolouration/colour differences as well as mould or stains.

    Putting up lengths of wallpaper on a sloped ceilings
    in one piece

    The main advantage of this method is that no seams will be visible. As lengths (or strips) of wallpaper for sloped ceilings are longer than those for straight walls, it is useful to be able to rely on a helping hand. The mathematical basis for cutting the wallpaper is the total measurement, i.e. from the ceiling edge to the floor edge of the knee wall.

    Non-woven wallpaper: Apply wallpaper paste directly to the wall. Now set the length of wallpaper along the plumb line at the top of the wall, pushing it a couple of centimetres above the ceiling/gable area. Please note: The wallpaper should be pressed on gradually from top to bottom. Make sure any air trapped under the wallpaper is gently pushed out towards the sides. If any air bubbles or creases remain, the length must be pulled off carefully up to the affected area and then pressed on and smoothed out again. The bottom part should be held away from the wall by the helping person.

    Paper-based wallpaper: The top 1/3 and the bottom 2/3 of the pre-pasted length of wallpaper are folded in. The exact soaking time must be adhered to for each individual length. The top (shorter) end is then pulled out, whilst the longer part remains folded up (held by the second person). Now, the first part can be carefully put up, followed by the second (longer) part. Pressing a broom on the top part can help stabilise this process.

    Alternative approach: Putting up lengths of wallpaper on a sloped ceilings
    in two pieces

    Hanging the wallpaper length in two pieces is suitable for heavy wallpapers or those with special surface materials. The first part should be the length of the ceiling edge to the knee wall, the second is the length from the knee wall to the floor (plus a few centimetres each end). In order to make sure the pattern aligns correctly, the exact length of the second strip of wallpaper should be determined by holding the wallpaper roll up against the first strip. After cutting the second strip, it can be aligned so that the pattern continues without any visual irritation. The overlap created this way is than removed with a double-seam cut.

    Which are the best colours and wallpaper patterns for dressing rooms?

    There are no specific guidelines regarding suitable colours for dressing rooms. The only perquisite is that they should be in line with the theme of style and fashion, and match personal preferences. The same, of course, is true for wallpaper patterns and designs.

    Colour choices for dressing rooms

    Black-and-white, grey-and-black, pink, rosé, violet, wood or stone imitation hues, soft cappuccino or cream nuances, or cheerful bright colours like orange, red, and yellow all inspire a passion for fashion in dressing rooms or walk-in wardrobes. Another option is to create a colour connection to the bedroom.

    Pattern design for dressing rooms

    When it comes to expressive wallpaper designs in dressing rooms or walk-in-wardrobes, fashion lovers can indulge in their individual tastes. These might be motifs like accessories, shoes, 50s style, sexy pin-ups, hippie/boho, and tie-dye, to name but a few. Flock wallpaper, marble-imitation or glass-bead models in luxurious colour nuances with glitter effects all provide a sense of glamorous elegance. Geometric diamond shapes and stripes in stunning colour and effect combinations add a sophisticated and ultramodern touch.

    Our tips: Current trends and ideas for wallpaper decoration

    1. Arabian nights - oriental glamour in warm spice shades or subtle gold and with typical ornament patterns are a popular trend for bedrooms. Just add traditional lamps from Morocco and velvety cushions and throws to create that sought-after romanticriadatmosphere.
    2. Like sleeping in a fairy tale castle... Choose flock wallpaper models in regal colours (for instance by Versace), a four-poster-bed, luxurious bedding, and crystal chandeliers to create this elegant fairy-tale ambience in your home.
    3. 3D and hologram wallpaper models introduce a modern relaxation mood into bedrooms. Eyes and thoughts lose themselves in the iridescent effects and succumb to optical illusions and subtle light reflections.
    4. Multi-purpose bedrooms: To incorporate a separate dressing area in a bedroom, a room divider adorned with a beautiful wallpaper is a great solution. The back of a shelf unit or wardrobe, or a folding screen, are all suitable for this kind of project. Talented DIY enthusiasts can build a room divider using gypsum plasterboard and beautify it with the chosen design wallpaper.

    71 Photos, Interiors for 2021 and Combination

    The combination of wallpaper in the interior of the bedroom does not end with pasting one view behind the bed, the second on other walls. Everything is more complicated and we have prepared a photo of wallpaper combinations in the bedroom with an analysis from the designer.

    Which wallpaper to choose for the bedroom

    In general, wallpapers are better suited and more often used in classic bedroom interiors. Do not be surprised that most of the photos will be from the classics. However, in modern styles there are situations when no other material will give the desired effect.

    Classic bedroom interior wallpaper

    Wallpaper combination theory will come later, while we just provide photos and comment on them, finding out why the bedroom interior looks stylish or not.

    The standard and best version of the classic wallpaper for the bedroom, this is a wallpaper with a colored background and pattern without strong contrast. It can be either a pattern that differs from the main color by 1-2 tones, or a silver or gold pattern.

    Wall-paper with a clear pattern is accent. They can not cover the whole room. In the standard, this is 1 wall, a maximum of two. Let's see the photo.









    Classic wallpaper with a large pattern and especially with gold and silver colors at the base looks expensive. The rest of the bedroom decor must match, otherwise there will be dissonance and an inharmonious appearance. Photos when this rule is not respected:


    2nd type of classic wallpaper - wallpaper with a contrasting pattern. It would seem, whether there is a big difference in the contrasting pattern or not, does it make sense to single them out in a separate form. There is. They are perceived in a completely different way, the design of the bedroom around such wallpapers is built differently.

    There is a huge difference between classic wallpaper with a contrasting pattern and a non-contrasting pattern.

    Wallpaper with a contrasting pattern will load the interior of the bedroom with details. If you do not take this into account, and add more details with bedding, curtains and other items, you will get porridge. Such wallpapers should almost never be used on more than one wall.










    Another type of wallpaper for classic styles is paintable wallpaper. It makes little sense to bring their photos, because. it is unrealistic to distinguish a simply painted wall from a wall with painted wallpaper from a photo. In reality, the texture is visible, in the photo - no.

    Modern bedroom wallpaper

    In most modern styles, wallpaper is rarely used. For wall decoration, paint, decorative plaster, 3d panels, etc. are used. But when you need a pattern, geometric shapes or something like that, wallpapers still help out.

    An interesting borrowing from classic styles - black wallpaper with non-contrasting or silver patterns. It is in black that they are used in modern styles when you need to add a little luxury.





    Geometric shapes and broken patterns work well with some modern bedroom interiors, and you can only get them with wallpaper. There is also wallpaper with stripes and fine textures.










    Neutral wallpaper without a pronounced texture is also an interesting option. Especially considering that the basis of all modern styles is minimalism.


    Gradients and photo wallpapers are another type of wallpaper that fits well into modern bedrooms. But be careful with photo wallpapers - this is a very risky move. This option may look stylish, or maybe collective farm, you need to feel the edge subtly. If you know how to work with graphic editors, you can photoshop the wallpaper in your bedroom to figure out how it will look.



    Combining wallpaper in the bedroom

    Now it's rare for anyone to glue one type of wallpaper on all the walls in the bedroom. In most cases, these are two types of wallpapers, where one is accent and the second is background. Accents are either wallpaper with a clear pattern, or darker, or more saturated in color.

    Combined wallpaper

    Manufacturers take into account modern trends and have long been releasing wallpaper collections that are already designed to be combined within one room. This is a good and least risky option, it is difficult to make a mistake using it.

    Usually in such collections the main and accent wallpapers are clearly distinguished, but sometimes they differ only in color. It is assumed that more saturated will become accent.


    Sometimes collections consist of different colors of the same saturation. This important parameter allows you to choose any two colors for the bedroom and combine them without worrying about compatibility. Many underestimate the parameters of brightness and color saturation, namely, they usually determine how well the wallpaper blends together. Read about the color of the walls in the bedroom.


    The fact that wallpapers are combined within the same collection does not mean that you will not screw up with their arrangement. More on this later.

    Combining different wallpapers

    When you want to combine wallpapers from different collections, you need to think about two things:

    1. Are wallpapers compatible with each other.
    2. Which wall of the bedroom to stick which wallpaper.

    To answer the first question, check out Interior color combinations and Interior wallpaper combinations.

    The article about the combination of colors is strictly obligatory for reading. Otherwise, it will be like this:

    There are nuances on the second point. The standard for the bedroom is the placement of accent wallpaper behind the bed. This is often justified, but not always.

    If the wall behind the bed is small due to the rectangular shape of the bedroom, then making it accent is not a good idea. We have already written about the design of a small bedroom. This also includes the situation when the wall behind the bed is overloaded with details: lamps, paintings, a high colorful headboard, etc. Below are examples of how NOT to combine wallpaper in the bedroom.



    And now a similar wallpaper, but when the wall is not overloaded with details, the difference is immediately visible.

    The second option is to make the least loaded wall an accent wall. Using this combination methodology, the wallpaper usually ends up behind the bed - in most bedrooms, this wall is the least loaded. After all, on the perpendicular walls of the bedroom in 99 cases out of 100 there is a door on one side and a window on the other.

    The third option is the wall behind the TV. The problem here is with the competition for attention between the TV and the wall. In general, not the best option for combining wallpapers. If your bedroom is not suitable for the first two for the reasons stated, perhaps combining wallpaper in the bedroom should be abandoned altogether. Or unload the wall behind the bed.

    Wallpaper can also be combined on the same wall, for example by dividing it horizontally or making frames:

    Wallpaper with imitation of wood and brick

    Recently, loft, Scandinavian style and minimalism have become especially popular design styles. And demand, as you know, creates supply. As a result, in 2021, a lot of wallpapers with imitation of natural materials appeared on the market. And a large number of bedroom interiors have already suffered from such wallpaper.

    Wallpaper with wood look, brick look and even concrete look. There are even wallpapers with imitation of concrete slabs, with gaps between them and painted rivets. At first glance, they look cool, but let's figure it out.

    Most of the listed materials have long been successfully imitated in design. Natural wood is imitated by laminate (which, by the way, can also be glued to the wall behind the bed in the bedroom). A real brick is imitated by a decorative brick. Concrete and much more (almost everything) is imitated by decorative plaster.

    So why is wallpaper worse then? The fact that they imitate only the pattern, but not the volume and texture. And it looks terrible. Even in the photo. Just think about it - even in the photo you can see that this is just an imitation wallpaper. Flat, boring. In life, everything looks even worse, such wallpapers will not deceive anyone.



    The coolest thing about natural materials or their high-quality imitations is texture and volume.
    Light and shadow play on them, and we see their depth. That's why concrete and wood love contour lighting - it gives the material shadows and depth. Visible matte and glossy areas, roughness. Wallpaper will never do that. Just look at how textured bricks and concrete look:



    Wallpaper can look great in a bedroom interior in many situations, but wood and concrete imitation is not one of them. The only exception is multi-colored options, at least they are bright.

    We hope that we have shed some light on the topic of choosing and combining wallpaper for the bedroom, and you will find the perfect option for you that will delight you for many years to come! Read also about the choice of wallpaper for the kitchen.

      Wallpaper for the bedroom (65 photos), wallpaper combination in the bedroom - Design ideas

      Wallpaper is an economical and convenient option for decorating walls in a bedroom. A wide variety of patterns and textures allows you to use them in any interior style, create interesting combinations and unusual visual effects. How to choose the right wallpaper for the bedroom will be discussed in this article.

      Types of wallpaper for the bedroom, their advantages and disadvantages

      Paper wallpaper

      Wall-paper from usual glossy or opaque paper is subdivided into single-layer - simplex, and also two-layer - duplex. The former are cheaper, the latter are more durable and tear less from mechanical stress.

      The main disadvantage of paper wallpapers is their fragility. They quickly lose their aesthetic appearance under the influence of moisture, dust, fade in the sun. However, given the low cost of such a finish, it is possible to completely update the interior every 2-3 years.

      This is an easy and inexpensive option for redecorating temporary housing, dormitories, rented apartments, as well as for small children who sometimes love to draw on the walls. Photowall-paper also belongs to this type.

      Vinyl wallpaper

      PVC wallpaper consists of a paper or textile base and a plastic-containing face layer, which can be smooth, embossed (silk-screen printing), foamed, glossy, matte or a combination.

      The disadvantage of using polyvinyl is that this material consists of synthetic resins and does not allow the walls to breathe (does not let water vapor and air through). The first time after gluing - such wallpapers can exude the smell of plastic. In the bedroom, this is a significant problem, because the sleeping area must be well ventilated.

      The positive aspects of PVC wallpapers are their high aesthetics, strength, long service life (10-15 years), the possibility of repainting, wet cleaning from dust and good soundproofing properties.

      Non-woven wallpaper

      This is a flexible two-ply web of interwoven cellulose fibers. Due to the microporous texture, these wallpapers are environmentally friendly and adhere well to any surface. The repair process is facilitated by the fact that the adhesive is applied directly to the wall. Textured non-woven wallpaper without vinyl coating suitable for painting.

      Textile wallpaper

      Fabric upholstery is an interesting solution for the bedroom, but keep in mind that every month or two the walls will have to be vacuumed. Dust accumulates especially quickly on fleecy synthetics (velvet, felt, velor). Modern textile wallpapers, as a rule, have a dense base, which makes sticking easier, but working with them is still quite difficult. Excessive amount of glue, soaking into the fabric, can permanently leave ugly stains on it. The advantage of this finishing option can be considered a luxurious appearance and good sound insulation (in the case of using wallpaper on a foam lining).

      Glass fiber

      Translucent, very thin but tough fiberglass wallpaper is easy to attach to walls and can last up to 30 years. You can color them up to 10 times, which allows you to quickly update a boring design. A huge advantage of this finish is the environmental friendliness of fiberglass, because only natural raw materials are used for its production - quartz sand, clay, soda and silicates.

      Bedroom wallpaper according to style

      To create a harmonious interior, the design of the walls must correspond to the chosen direction in design. It is best to choose wallpapers that match in texture and color with furniture, textiles, windows, doors.

      Modern style

      For a bedroom in Art Nouveau style, smooth plain wallpaper is suitable. Light and glossy will make the room visually more spacious, and matte will give comfort. The modern style also allows neat monochrome drawings, graphics, abstractions - but not with a continuous coating, but only in the form of an accent.

      Classic style

      This style combines the monumentality of ancient times with the refined luxury of the Renaissance. A real royal bedroom can be framed with wallpaper in warm shades of white (creamy, cream, ivory, light beige) with golden or silver floral ornaments, plaster molding relief or soft leather.

      Provence

      The romantic atmosphere of the south of France is pastel colors (light gray, pink, mint, lilac, milky) and small floral prints against their background. So that the room does not seem monotonous, sections of wallpaper with drawings must be alternated with monochrome ones, and balance must be maintained when choosing textiles.

      Scandinavian style

      To recreate the icy freshness of northern Europe will help natural winter tones - snow-white, shimmering silver, transparent blue, light gray, light green. To make the bedroom more comfortable, you can use wallpaper, the texture of which resembles sun-bleached linen or light, untreated cold-colored boards.

      Japanese style

      The interior of the bedroom, reminiscent of the land of the rising sun, can be decorated using bamboo wallpapers, wallpapers with hieroglyphs, cherry blossoms, bamboo leaves, fans, as well as photo wallpapers. The palette of shades for the Japanese style is quite wide - from black and white, gray, woody, straw tones to golden, hot pink and red.

      Art Deco

      Wallpaper with abstract and vegetal patterns in rather saturated, but at the same time calm colors is perfect for this style. Often used gray with an admixture of other shades, black, white, burgundy, beige and blue. To visually increase the space in Art Deco, you can use holographic pictures and optical illusions.

      Wallpaper color for the bedroom - which one to choose?

      When choosing wallpaper for a bedroom, it is very important to take into account the influence of certain colors on the human psyche. Active colors like orange and red are best reserved for the kitchen or dining room. Yellow, light green, peach - can make the north side warmer. And in order to “cool” the southern bedroom a little, it is worth decorating the walls in green and blue shades. Monochromes (white, gray, beige) can be used without restrictions, but black, dark purple and chocolate should be handled with care - they absorb light, reduce space and can sometimes turn a room into a kind of dungeon.

      White wallpaper

      White wallpaper in the bedroom is a proven classic. On a light background, any furniture, bright or pastel patterns will always look appropriate, it will emphasize the beauty of paintings, photographs and other decor.

      Pastel wallpapers

      In a soft palette of pinks, blues, greens, yellows, beiges and lavenders, this wallpaper is the perfect solution for a romantic bedroom. This design will appeal to all admirers of light, airy interiors.

      Gray wallpaper

      Neutral gray wallpaper is the best solution for a high-tech, modern, minimalist, loft style bedroom. In combination with black or dark blue furniture and strict lines, you get a functional masculine interior; white gloss and silver curls - an option for an elegant lady; bright yellow, pink, green accents on a gray background - for a married couple.

      Blue wallpaper

      Shades of the sky and water have a calming effect on a person, so they are perfect for the bedroom. Blue wallpapers can be combined with white, gray, beige, purple, dark brown, and also complemented with photo wallpapers.

      Bedroom wallpaper combination

      Combination of patterned and plain wallpaper, close in color, will diversify your interior and achieve certain visual effects. Properly selected wall decoration will make the bedroom interesting and cozy. There are several ways to combine - vertical, horizontal, geometric, as well as inserts and niches.

      Vertical

      This can be an alternation of stripes from floor to ceiling - light and dark, matte and glossy, printed and one-color. Sometimes there is a different design of individual walls or partial partitions. Vertical accents visually make the room appear taller.

      Horizontal

      With this combination of wallpaper, you can create beautiful borders, as well as visually expand the walls. Contrasting and horizontal lines are best used to enlarge narrow areas.

      Geometric

      Wallpapering in a bedroom at broken angles is an unusual way to create an exclusive interior. You can also use the appliqué technique by attaching your favorite paper fragments to the main finish.

      Insert

      An insert is a contrasting fragment of any shape, usually separated by an impromptu frame - plaster, polyurethane, metal, wood or simply painted.

      Nisha

      The difference between a wall and a recess in it is easy to emphasize if their colors and textures differ from each other. In a niche, you can glue photo wallpapers, imitation brickwork, a patterned glossy or plain matte insert.

      Wallpaper for a small bedroom / bedroom in Khrushchev

      A problem typical of most Soviet apartments is their small size. However, the small size of the bedroom is more of a plus than a minus: it saves finishing materials, simplifies repairs, and the atmosphere is more romantic. The main rule is not to overload the interior with large elements and rich colors.

      Wallpaper for a bedroom in Khrushchev is better to choose light, pastel, with a small, soft pattern and reflective details.
