Linen wallpaper

Linen wallpaper is a wall covering whose surface consists of woven linen fibres — one of the oldest and most valued textile materials in the world. The result is a wall you don't just see, but also feel: a subtle, living texture that catches the light differently in the morning than in the evening.

Why choose linen wallpaper?

There is something indefinable about a room dressed in linen wallpaper. Not imposing, not minimalist bare — rather: present. The natural fibres create a warmth that synthetic alternatives simply cannot match. Linen breathes, subtly absorbs sound and gives walls a dimension that paint never achieves.

Linen wall covering fits surprisingly well across different interior styles: as a quiet backdrop for wooden furniture in a Japandi living room, or as a luxurious accent in a classic suite. Combine with natural linen curtains or an oak floor for a fully layered interior feeling.

Linen wallpaper in every colour and style

Our collection of linen wallpaper includes neutral ecru and ivory, refined greys, warm earthy tones like terracotta and ochre, and richer colours for those who want to make a statement. Many designs are available as non-woven wallpaper — easy to hang and ideal for the modern home.

Our brands — including Elitis, Arte and Sandberg — produce linen wall coverings in small runs, with a focus on sustainability and craftsmanship.

Linen wallpaper vs textile wallpaper — what is the difference?

Linen wallpaper is a subcategory of textile wallpaper: the top layer consists specifically of linen fibres (from the flax plant), while textile wallpaper can also contain jute, sisal or synthetic fibres. Linen has a finer weave and a softer feel — ideal when you want a subtle, organic texture without a dominant pattern.

Tips for hanging linen wallpaper

• Choose linen wallpaper on a non-woven backing where possible — easier to hang
• Use a wallpaper calculator to work out the exact number of rolls you need
• Align the pattern direction carefully for a clean finish
• Dust with a soft brush; some finishes are lightly wipeable
