Wallpapering your living room can transform the space into a vibrant, one-of-a-kind retreat where you and your family can enjoy your favourite TV shows, play games, or simply relax. Whether you’re looking for a bold, geometric print or a delicate floral pattern, there are plenty of choices available to match your personality and design preferences.

Wallpaper motifs range from botanical prints to geometric patterns, and you can even find textured options that look like brick or stone. Popular colours for wallpaper include neutrals and bold shades, but you can also go for a more whimsical colour choice such as teal, pink or gold.

You can also add a pop of colour to your living room by using wallpaper as an accent, or you can use it on all the walls for a cohesive and stylish design. If you’re worried about commitment, try a half-wall installation, as this is a great way to bring a pop of colour without overwhelming your space.

Floral wallpaper designs are always a popular choice for living rooms, and there’s no shortage of options to choose from. Some are quite intricate with multiple layers, while others feature a single simple flower – or a cluster of flowers to create an elegant, symmetrical look. Alternatively, you could opt for a tropical design that brings a relaxed holiday vibe to the space.

The tropical theme is also a good idea if you want to introduce natural elements to your living room, such as palm trees and beachy shades of green. You can also find designs that are influenced by the cultural heritage of different countries, with traditional textures, patterns and colours offering endless inspiration. For example, the La Passion de Diego wall mural from Abbott & Boyd combines a Frida Kahlo character with large palms and wicker-inspired texture for a beautiful living room statement piece.

There are a lot of striped wallpapers on the market, with some offering bold, eye-catching colour and other patterns to create a contemporary feel. Other striped wallpapers feature an ornate, damask-style pattern to add a sense of grandeur to your space, and this style is often available in a variety of different hues to suit the colour scheme you’re going for.

Another popular wallpaper option for the living room is a black and white print, which can be a fun way to bring a bit of a monochrome look to your space. There are also color-less (or color-full, depending on your preference) classics to choose from too, such as a black and white checkered print.

For a wallpaper with added depth and texture, try a woven design that’s made of linen or silk. It’s a nice alternative to solid-colour designs that can sometimes appear flat and lifeless, but it works well with other texture options as well, such as wood panelling and beadboard.
