Chic wallpaper for living room, bedroom & dining room

When you're looking for chic wallpaper for the living room, you want that one wall that sets the tone for the entire space. It's the first thing you see when you walk in, and the backdrop against which your sofa, art and lighting come into their own. Especially in the room where you spend most of your time, a chic design with depth is worth more than a flat colour on the wall.

Chic wallpaper in the living room: where it works best

The wall behind the sofa or fireplace is the natural focal point and lends itself to a bold design or a rich, chic colour. A large, open-plan living room benefits from a quieter textured wallpaper that runs across all walls and ties the space together. In bright daylight, relief and a subtle sheen really come to life; in a north-facing living room, warm tones and a matt finish soften the space.

Materials for chic wallpaper: damask, metallic and relief

Chic wallpaper is all about material and finish. Damask patterns bring classic allure, metallic accents catch the evening light, and relief and textile wallpapers add tangible depth. On a large wall surface, a subtle pattern works most calmly; on a smaller section or in an alcove, the design can take centre stage.

Choosing texture and colour

Choose the colour based on the light and your existing interior: deep tones like ink, moss and burgundy give a living room warmth in the evening, while off-white, sand and soft green keep space during the day. A design with subtle texture also hides minor imperfections in the wall.

Extending chic wallpaper to the bedroom and dining room

What works in the living room translates beautifully to the rest of the house — with its own accent in each room.

Chic wallpaper for the bedroom

In the bedroom, chic wallpaper with a matt, warm finish creates calm. A single wall behind the bed is often enough; choose a design you're happy to see first thing in the morning and last thing at night.

Chic wallpaper in the dining room

In the dining room, a design can be more theatrical. A dark, chic wall or a panoramic scene makes every dinner special and comes alive by candlelight.
