Inspiring ways to update your home with wallpaper

Using wallpaper is a wonderful way to add character and textural interest to your home.

Bolder designs can be used in combination with vibrant coordinating colours, or they can be pared back with complementary neutrals to suit different tastes or spaces.

Gain ideas on how wallpaper can transform your home for an inspiring setting that reflects your personal style.

Invite nature into your home office space

Your home office should be somewhere that both inspires you and aids concentration. Reconnect with nature and create a calm environment by using an inspiring mural wallpaper.

Our elegant Bird & Bluebell mural depicts a peaceful wildlife scene, featuring birds, butterflies, bees, branches and bluebells. Use it in your home office space to create a glimpse of a world beyond your four walls. Pair it with the deep green, Puck, on baseboards and soft Dorchester Pink on the ceiling to fill your workspace with the colours of nature.

Use a neutral design for an inviting kitchen space

The kitchen is the heart of the home and a hive of activity. It’s often the go-to for bright colours that reflect this fast-paced energy, but you can also opt for a calm and comforting palette to provide a backdrop to other elements within a space.

Using a neutral wallpaper pattern in your kitchen will create added interest, making the space feel more homely. Briar Rose is a traditional Arts and Crafts style wallpaper, originally designed by children’s book illustrator, Walter Crane. It has an inherent charm that works fantastically in an open-plan family kitchen.

For a harmonious finish, use the sophisticated Green Stone colourway alongside the coordinating Green Stone family and stronger Book Room Green.

Add joyful colour and pattern to your dining space

As sociable spaces, dining rooms are the perfect places to incorporate bold, all-over wallpaper designs. Murals work particularly well in dining areas, where the full effect of a scenic design can be appreciated from floor to ceiling.

Surround your friends and family with an optimistic and joyful shade using the new Soleil colourway of our Upper Brook St mural. Its palette of warm and sunny yellows creates a positive atmosphere and really enlivens the space.

Use wallpaper for an inviting bedroom scheme

Your bedroom should feel like a relaxing haven that truly expresses your personal style. Create a sense of depth in the space by layering texture, colour and pattern with an enticing combination of paint and wallpaper.

Lovers’ Toile is a 1950s reinterpretation of a traditional, 18th-century French Toile de Jouy. To create a cohesive scheme, select a colour highlight from within the wallpaper and introduce the shade on woodwork, furniture and ceilings. Our Puck colourway pairs harmoniously with this bold, jewel-toned green on the ceiling and woodwork.
