Here are 12 wallpaper designs for bedroom walls, from aesthetic florals to modern textures, with tips on choosing and installing them.

How to choose wallpaper for bedroom walls

  • Pick one wall. The wall behind the bed is the natural choice.
  • Go soft. Low-contrast patterns and warm colours feel more restful than bold, busy prints.
  • Check against your bedding. Bring a sample home and see it with your bed linen and evening light.
  • Choose vinyl or non-woven. They handle humidity and can be wiped clean.
  • Make sure the wall is dry. Damp walls make wallpaper bubble and peel, especially after the monsoon.

Materials and rough cost factors

  • Paper: cheapest, least durable.
  • Vinyl: washable and moisture-resistant.
  • Non-woven: breathable, easy to install and remove.
  • Custom murals: printed to size; cost more.
  • Installation: wall preparation, primer and labour.
