Blue wallpaper — dark blue & light blue | Selected Wallpapers

Picture this: you walk into your living room and are greeted by a wall in deep ink blue, where the evening light plays softly across the surface. Blue wallpaper brings something special to a space — calm, depth, and unmistakable elegance. Whether you're drawn to the serene stillness of light blue, the dramatic power of dark blue, or the refined luxury of blue-gold: at Selected Wallpapers you'll find over 1,500 designs from the world's best design brands.

Why choose blue wallpaper?

Blue is the world's most loved colour, and for good reason. It's calming, makes spaces feel larger, and works effortlessly with both classic and modern interiors. Light blue wallpaper creates a fresh, airy feel that's perfect for bedrooms and bathrooms. Dark blue wallpaper — think navy, ink blue, or petrol — brings warmth, intimacy, and a theatrical statement wall. And blue-gold wallpaper? Pure glamour: the combination of deep blue tones with gold accents looks exclusive and timeless.

From ice blue to deep navy

Within blue wallpaper there are endless nuances. Ice blue and powder blue bring minimalist calm. Vintage blue has a nostalgic charm that pairs beautifully with country-style interiors. Sea blue and cobalt are vibrant and summery. Navy and ink blue are the undisputed favourites for those who dare to go dramatic. Unsure which tone suits your space? Our interior specialists are happy to advise.

Frequently Asked Questions

FAQ about Blue wallpaper

How do I combine blue wallpaper with other colours?

Blue wallpaper is wonderfully versatile. Paired with white and grey you get a fresh, modern look; with warm wood and linen a rustic feel; with gold or brass a classic-luxe vibe. Dark blue wallpaper combines beautifully with cream and rust brown, while light blue wallpaper works well with soft pink or gentle green. Want more drama? Pair blue with green plants or a floral wallpaper.

Which blue wallpaper suits a bedroom?

For the bedroom, most people choose light blue wallpaper or powder blue: these tones feel calming and help you wind down. Prefer a dramatic bedroom? Then dark blue wallpaper or navy is a beautiful choice, especially as an accent wall behind the bed. Pair dark blue with warm beige tones and natural textiles for a luxurious, hotel-like atmosphere.

What's the difference between dark blue, navy and petrol wallpaper?

Dark blue is the umbrella term for all deep blue shades. Navy is a classic deep blue with a subtle black undertone — think marine blue. Petrol sits between blue and green and has a slightly warmer, almost teal-like feel. Navy reads classic and elegant; petrol is more modern and distinctive. Both tones give a room character and richness.

How many rolls of blue wallpaper do I need?

That depends on the wall dimensions, the pattern repeat, and the roll width of the specific wallpaper. Use our wallpaper calculator to find out exactly — simply enter the wall measurements and you'll see the required number of rolls instantly.

Can I order a sample of blue wallpaper first?

Yes, you can order a sample of virtually any blue wallpaper in our collection. This way you can assess the exact colour, texture and finish in your own interior and lighting before ordering full rolls. Samples can be ordered via the relevant product page.
