To get your ideas flowing for your next refresh, below are 23 wallpaper ideas for bedrooms—from traditional floral patterns, to pixelated geometrics—that will create a beautiful backdrop for your walls elevating your space with much deserved style.
1. Floral Patterns for a Serene Bedroom Atmosphere
Floral wallpaper always radiates elegance, charm, and calmness. If you prefer soft roses, sage green leaves, or watercolor bouquets, select pastel tones for a single accent wall to set the atmosphere. This floral design also complements pale pink or soft green linens, soft lighting, and minimal furniture. The residential result? A bedroom that feels like your own private, romantic garden retreat—timeless, calm and classic.
2. Geometric Designs for a Modern Look
Geometric wallpapers give any space a chic modern look. Consider designs that have black and white lines, simple triangles repeating, or bold checks to visually enlarge your space. A geometric wallpaper can sit alongside simple gray or white bedding and minimal furniture without losing style or the feeling of openness, regardless if your bedroom is in a city apartment or a coastal hideaway.
3. Tropical Wallpaper for a Vacation-Inspired Retreat
Tropical wallpaper featuring large green and blue tropical leaves is sure to bring exotic holiday resort feels in your own bedroom. Tropical wallpaper can be applied to all four walls or none—regardless, tropical represents fresh and relaxed vibes. Finish off the tropics with bamboo, rattan or wooden furniture pieces and woven accessories for a naturally breezy and refreshed look.
4. Textured Wallpaper for Elegance
Wallpaper doesn’t need to be full of color to be an impactful experience inside your space. Textured wallpaper can include finishes such as linen, grass cloth or soft metallic sheens that can added depth and pattern without being a loud statement. By incorporating textured wallpaper, in spaces behind your bed, and satin cushions with metallic accessories—they can give you an elegant high-class finish in your bedroom.
5. Monochrome for Minimalist Appeal
Black, white, and gray are always a top choice when it comes to a minimalist design. Monochrome wallpaper will usually be linear in design (think simple stripes) which allows the space to be calm and chic. You can also throw in a couple of knitted throws or patterned pillows to balance out the starkness, which will allow for an organized feel without the looks of being organized.
6. Abstract Art-Inspired Wallpaper
Why bother with hanging art when the wall can be the art? Abstract wallpaper can be a bold stroke of color in blues, pinks and blacks. This will allow you to turn your bedroom into your very own art gallery. Pair this wallpaper with some modern art prints and clean lined furniture to amplify the creative energy.
7. Vintage-Inspired Patterns
Period chinoiserie and complicated motifs give a bedroom an undeniable elegance that will stand the test of time. Anything with layers of patterning and color adds depth to a space, and in this case, you’re going to see a contemporary element when the motifs are used as an accent wall behind the bed (especially with the right choosen antique sideboards, velvet materials and gold accents). This special look is memorable and timeless.
8. Metallic Accents for a Luxurious Feel
Metallic wallpaper (either champagne satin, or rich bronzes) catch light beautifully which can dramatically increase the depth in a room. A small space in your home with metallic wallpaper will allow for modern bedrooms to exude sophistication and glamour. Once again, complementary low- lit lighting, will bring out the shimmer and create warmth.
9. Nature-Inspired Murals
Landscapes with forests, skies with lots of clouds, or mountain scenes are a great way to bring the outdoors in and ease any worries. Big murals can also help a small room feel like a much bigger room, bringing you that nature experience. Combine with raw materials like wood furniture, and linen sheets for a calming feeling.
10. Bold Stripes
Black and white stripes, navy and white, or grey and white stripes in a classic format can help visually reshape the space. Vertical stripes will help elongate a wall, while horizontal strips will help widen a wall. If you consider strips as an accent feature with curated/concise décor, you could maximize the impact.
11. Wood Paneling Wallpaper
If you love rustic charm but don’t want to bother with hassle of using wood, then wood-effect wallpaper is a great alternative. Weathered or reclaimed wood prints will bring warmth and comfort into the room while providing a feeling of home, making you and your living space feel cozy, and lived-in. Farmhouse-style furniture works perfectly with prints resembling wood.
12. Polka Dots for Playfulness
From large dots in black and white to small dots in soft pastels, polka dot wallpaper will bring any space to life. This is especially good in a child or playroom or any child-like area to be whimsical and childlike in nature, while also providing a fun place to feel happy with smiles.
13. Marble Wallpaper for Chic Sophistication
Marble effect wallpaper is sleek, elegant and immensely versatile. White with grey veining gives a classic, elegant feel, while black marble adds drama. Pair it with gold or chrome accents for a high-end, luxurious feel.
14. Art Deco Glamour
Art Deco wallpaper features bold, graphic patterns in navy, emerald or gold. It’s glamorous and lavish—alluring and dramatic. Imagine a boutique hotel suite! Combine the wallpaper with mirrored furniture and velvet textures to really accentuate the luxury feel.
15. Scandinavian-Inspired Simplicity
Scandi-inspired rooms use subtle neutrals: subtle blue, grey and white. The aesthetic of Scandi style is about comfort and calm – a perfect fit for bedrooms where you want to decompress. Use simple, functional furniture, and add accessories from the Nordic hygge look, and warm textiles.
16. Botanical Prints for Freshness
Botanical wallpaper is full of foliage and greenery for the outside lovers. It looks great as a single feature wall, and is easily paired with natural, earthy style furniture. Botanical wallpaper feels fresh, airy and vibrant, perfect for enlivening a space.
17. Brick Wall Wallpaper for Industrial Edge
When it comes to home decor, the color and style of wallpaper can give your bedroom loft-style flair right away. Exposed brick and wood finishes offer an unfinished, rugged feel while also possessing stylish appeal. Wallpaper choices found in urban lofts adds a graceful and rustic character, while keeping things neutral and cozy. Incorporate rugged and/or galvanized metal furniture and minimalist lighting to complete the industrial or urban look.
18. Pastel Tones for Softness
Baroque style wallpaper is dramatic with its ornamented textures and gem color tones. It therefore provides a dramatic statement wall- you can elevate the elegance with using vintage or antique furniture, and use fabulous fabrics/textiles, such as silk or velvet. Pastels lend themselves to a great colour scheme for smaller spaces, maximizing light, coziness, and space.
19. Baroque-Inspired Drama
Baroque wallpaper is a noble idea for wallpaper as it is detailed, textured, and dramatic with a jewel toned color palette for a statement wall. You could take it to a practical elevation using vintage or antique furniture and decadent textiles/fabric like velvet or silk.
20. Damask Patterns for Sophistication
Damask style wallpaper has always been a classic choice. You can create an overall dramatic feel with darker-colored floral damask wallpaper and a soft and romantic style with pale floral damask. Study the chosen elegant antique or vintage style with equally elegant furniture, and limit decorative detail (or perhaps use muted tone).
21. Dark and Moody Wallpapers
Bold and rich colors like charcoal gray, midnight blue or black will create a discrete and cocoon-like feel. Dark colors create drama in a room but can also offer homeliness especially if a space is softened with lush drapery, fresh green plants and some metallic detail for intrigue. Dark wallpaper works best in big rooms, in order to not feel claustrophobic or compounding combined with other dark or heavy colors used.
22. Animal Print for Exotic Flair
Zebra stripes, leopard spots or dalmatian prints are not afraid to make bold and daring statements. They are best to use as an accent wall in a room that has a neutral base decor with dark furniture to create a balance with your decor but can add life to a room.
23. Whimsical Wallpaper for Kids’ Rooms
Fun wallpaper or an imaginative color palette of vibrant colors with stars, clouds, animals etc would be great options for children’s bedrooms. Whimsical wallpapers would create warmth and imagination in kids rooms, especially along with colorful furniture, and soft sheets/blankets.
