Eye catching wallpaper rooms

There’s nothing like a dazzling pattern on the wall to set the stage for a gorgeous interior. And today’s featured patterns represent a wide range of styles, from traditional and swirly to modern and geometric. Not to mention, there isn’t a room in the house that can’t benefit from a crisp wallpaper. 

Wallpapered Living Rooms

We begin with the living room, where people gather to chat, rest, read…or admire the amazing walls that surround them! It’s easy to admire this shiny wallpaper, which is subtle with monochromatic style yet bold in its repetitive pattern. In fact, this striking combination of subtle and bold is perfect for a space that combines modern and traditional elements, such as mirrored coffee tables and formal upholstered chairs.

This lacy wallpaper creates a similar effect, although the beige-gold pattern really pops against its white background. Note how the ornate design is nicely complemented by flourishes such as a crystal chandelier.

If you really want to go bold, opt for strong outlines, as shown in the Sutherland Large Swirl wallpaper from Cole & Son. In fact, an unexpected wallpaper can serve as an artistic backdrop for the rooms furnishings, such as the earthy chair and floor lamp below.

Some wallpaper selections create a mural effect in the room they inhabit, much like the tree blossom paper in the next image creates an epic feel in this elegant space

If the paper is particularly eye-catching, one wall may very well get the job done. The geometric wallpaper below is an ideal counterpart to other geometric flourishes in the space, such as floor-to-ceiling shelving. A true retro effect is created.

While the bohemian study below technically isn’t a living room, it certainly qualifies as a living space. In this interior, beloved multi-stem patterned wallpaper by Orla Kiely is a true highlight, enveloping the space in vivid color and form.

Wallpapered Dining Rooms
What could be more appetizing than a dining room that truly decks the walls?! The wallpapered spaces that follow range from elegant to modern. We begin with a paisley design in black and white, the perfect backdrop to a modern dining table and chairs. A red-orange bowl is the one pop of the color the room truly needs.

We continue with the ornate by featuring a room surrounded by wallpaper that celebrates vegetation. The small pattern of the paper is an ideal size for the addition of a plush rug featuring a larger design. Branches of flowers on the table mimic the print on the walls.

There’s nothing like the elegance of a hand-painted design that celebrates chinoiserie, as shown in the room below. Bamboo plants and birds are striking points of interest.

One possible wallpaper solution: create a series of panels by framing large sections of paper. This strategy turns the wallpaper into a true work of art and prevents the design from overtaking the room. Below we see a room designed by id 810 Design Group featuring trellis wallpaper from Osborne & Little.

The grey wallpaper below celebrates a range of shades and serves as a striking yet neutral backdrop for other brights such as pink, yellow and cobalt blue. 

Wallpapered Bedrooms
Wallpaper in the bedroom can add elegance, transforming the space into a true haven. Below we see custom hand-painted living room wallpaper from CBI Design Professionals.
