Nature-inspired wallpapers in neutral colourways

The space where you start and end each day, your bedroom is an important room to consider in your seasonal refresh projects. The colours and patterns you choose should help you feel relaxed and refreshed in the morning, and soothe your senses as you wind down each night.

Wallpaper: Fern – Off Black, Bed: Middle Buff

Wallpapers inspired by nature – be they elegant floral trails or contemporary botanical designs – combine the calming, comforting abilities of nature with a fresh, uplifting atmosphere that’s perfect for a bedroom space. Drift off to sleep surrounded by tranquil natural landscapes that promote rest and relaxation, with wallpapers like Carlton House Terrace, Fern or Aderyn.

A neutral colourway will provide a versatile, sophisticated backdrop, allowing you to add colour and personality in other parts of your scheme. You could introduce a bright colour accent on your skirting or on a piece of furniture, or you could elevate your scheme by upholstering your headboard in a colourful, patterned fabric.

Bright wallpaper colourways with coordinating woodwork

Your bedroom is a space that’s truly your own, so it provides a fabulous opportunity to embrace colours and patterns you love. If you prefer bright colours over neutrals, don’t be afraid to showcase more vibrant wallpaper colourways on your bedroom walls and create a setting that will bring you joy every morning and evening.

Wallpaper: Pavona – Sylvie, Skirting: Royal Navy

You can give your scheme an elegant, considered finish by combining your chosen wallpaper colourway with coordinating paint colours on the ceiling, walls and woodwork. The luxurious teal wallpaper, Pavona – Sylvie, pairs with skirtings in Royal Navy for an immersive, colour-drenched effect, which adds to the sense of cosiness.

Dark wallpaper colourways in cosy, all-over schemes

Burges Butterfly – Hicks’ Blue, Panelling: Hicks’ Blue, Window Trim: Boringdon Green, Ceiling stripes: Slaked Lime & Hicks’ Blue

One of the best ways to instil cosiness in any room is by introducing deep, sumptuous colours. You might be looking for a solution for how to decorate a small, dark bedroom space, or to create a more cosy, intimate atmosphere in a spacious room.

Wallpaper: Millefleur – Knight, Right Wall: Basalt

Combine a dark wallpaper colourway like Burges Butterfly – Hicks’ Blue or Millefleur – Knight with a coordinating paint colour on the lower walls and woodwork. Consider taking your chosen paint colour onto the ceiling to create an all-encompassing, cocooning effect, bringing real transformation to your scheme.

Wallpaper: Lovers Toile – Puck, Ceiling: Puck, Woodwork and Dado: Puck

You could also consider a tonal wallpaper like Lovers’ Toile – Puck for a more traditional feel. Introduce a dark related paint colour – in this case, the rich deep green, Puck – on the doors, dado rail, skirtings and even the ceiling to deliver a contemporary take on a classic wallpapered bedroom.
