Wallpaper Guide

Choosing the perfect wallpaper is an opportunity to transform your interior and create a beautifully considered sense of style. When buying wallpaper, think about how the room is used, the amount of natural light it receives, and the atmosphere you want to achieve. Colour, pattern and texture can dramatically influence the look and feel of a space: elegant neutral wallpapers can create a calm, sophisticated backdrop, while rich colours, metallic finishes and statement prints add depth, character and a sense of luxury. Practicality is equally important when selecting wallpaper for your home. Durable, washable wallpaper is ideal for busy areas such as kitchens, hallways and children’s rooms, while refined textures and delicate patterns can bring warmth and elegance to bedrooms and living spaces. Whether you are creating a striking feature wall or decorating an entire room, our wallpaper buying guide will help you choose the right design, finish and material for a stylish, long-lasting result.

Plain and Textured Wallpaper

Plain and textured wallpapers create an elegant, versatile backdrop that adds colour, depth and subtle character without the impact of a bold pattern. Smooth plain wallpapers offer a clean, contemporary finish, while textured designs introduce a more tactile, luxurious look and can help disguise minor imperfections on walls.

Best for: Creating a sophisticated backdrop in living rooms, bedrooms, dining rooms and hallways, as well as balancing patterned furnishings, artwork or statement accessories.

Benefits: Easy to coordinate with a wide range of interior styles and colour schemes. Adds warmth and visual interest while maintaining a calm, refined appearance, with textured wallpaper offering the added benefit of helping to conceal uneven wall surfaces.

“Quiet texture, effortless colour, beautifully considered walls.”
