Buy textured wallpaper | Selected Wallpapers

Textured wallpaper is a wall covering where you don't just see the design — you feel it. Through relief, weaves or embroidered details, the wall gains a tactile layer that flat wallpaper can never match: it catches light differently, subtly dampens sound and gives your interior instant character. At Selected Wallpapers you'll find over 660 textured wallpaper designs from the most respected design houses.

What exactly is textured wallpaper?

Textured wallpaper – also called relief wallpaper – has a tangible surface. That relief comes from the production method: woven fibres, embossed vinyl, embroidery on non-woven backing, or layers of natural material such as grasscloth and sisal. The deeper the texture, the more the wall plays with light and shadow throughout the day.

The most popular types of textured wallpaper

Vinyl with relief – scratch-resistant, wipeable and ideal for living rooms and hallways. Browse vinyl wallpaper for the full range.

3D relief – bold patterns with depth, a popular choice for statement walls.
Acoustic textured wallpaper – absorbs sound and improves room acoustics, see acoustic wallpaper.

Which texture suits which room?

In the living room, a fine linen weave works as a warm backdrop for art and furniture. In the bedroom, wool or velvet behind the bed creates a cocoon feel. In hallways or offices, vinyl with relief is more practical: scratch-resistant and wipeable. For a statement wall, choose a bold 3D design that casts a different shadow from every angle.

Frequently asked questions

FAQ about Textured wallpaper

What is textured wallpaper?

Textured wallpaper is a wall covering with tangible relief, created through woven fibres, embossed vinyl, embroidery or natural materials like grasscloth. Unlike flat wallpaper, it catches light and shadow, so the wall's appearance subtly shifts throughout the day. It instantly gives an interior more depth and character.

Is textured wallpaper suitable for high-traffic areas?

Yes, provided you choose the right material. Vinyl textured wallpaper is scratch-resistant and wipeable, ideal for hallways, stairwells, kitchens or offices. Commercial brands like Vescom develop specific lines for hotels and restaurants that withstand daily wear for years without losing their appeal.

Does textured wallpaper have acoustic benefits?

Soft textures like textile wallpaper, wool and felt absorb sound and noticeably reduce echo. This makes them ideal for open living rooms, bedrooms and offices with video meetings. For targeted sound dampening, the acoustic wallpaper category was developed, with certified absorption values.

Can I order a sample of textured wallpaper?

Yes, samples can be ordered for almost every design. Especially with textured wallpaper this is wise: tactility and how it catches light can only truly be judged in your own space. On every product page you'll find the option to order a sample for a small fee.
