Oriental wallpaper

Oriental wallpaper for a calm, refined atmosphere at home

With oriental wallpaper you bring calm, symbolism and natural beauty into your interior. Cherry blossom and cranes from the Japanese tradition, bamboo and misty mountain landscapes, or hand-painted chinoiserie with flora and fauna: these are motifs that quiet a room while giving it character. At Selected Wallpapers you'll find a carefully composed selection of international labels, so you can build an authentic oriental ambiance with ease.

What makes oriental wallpaper so special

The strength of this theme lies in the mix of soft colour palettes, flowing lines and motifs that mean something. Cranes evoke happiness and a long life, cherry blossom speaks of transience and beauty, bamboo of resilience. As a result, an oriental wall never feels like pure decoration but like a story. The style suits a sleek, minimalist interior just as well as a classic setting with rich materials, and keeps fascinating for years.

Japanese cherry blossom wallpaper

The delicate sakura blossoms lend an airy, poetic feel. Lovely in a bedroom or living room where you want a calm mood. Pair it with light woods, linen and neutral tones for a quiet base. If you'd like to keep this look subtle, take a look at floral wallpaper too, with related botanical designs.

Crane wallpaper as a refined statement

Cranes add grace and movement to a wall. In soft pastels the motif feels romantic and understated; in ink blue or black with gold it becomes an elegant focal point. A much-loved design for anyone after something distinctive without making the room feel busy.

Bamboo and mountain landscape

Bamboo motifs and fading mountain silhouettes draw nature and depth indoors. Ideal for a meditative, restrained mood, for instance in a hallway, dining room or behind a seating area. For a natural, tactile feel, textured wallpaper and grasscloth pair beautifully here as well.

Chinoiserie and hand-painted effect

Chinoiserie is marked by fine, often hand-drawn scenes with birds, blossom branches and foliage. The result is a luxurious, narrative wall that never grows tiring. Choose one accent wall and keep the surrounding surfaces plain so the design gets all the attention.

How to combine oriental wallpaper in your interior

Work with colour harmony: repeat one or two tones from the wallpaper in textiles and accessories for a restful whole. A mix of wood, bamboo and rattan with soft fabrics like linen and a silk look creates layered luxury. Keep balance by choosing one wall as the focus and keeping the rest tone on tone. Warm, directed light accentuates the texture and the hand-drawn details. Unsure how many rolls you need? Use our wallpaper calculator to work out exactly the right amount.
