One of the fastest and simplest ways to add visual interest or enliven the look of your home is by applying wallpaper. Available in a wide array of colours, textures and patterns, wallpaper is a very cost effective way to accentuate a section of your home, demarcate space, creatively cover up cosmetic flaws, and so on.
The cost of installing wallpaper depends on the number of walls you’d like to cover, the dimensions of your walls and more. Considering what amazing things can be done to your home with wallpaper, the costs of personalising your walls compared to the joy you get out of it, are minimal and should hopefully not be a factor holding you back.
With so many cool wallpaper designs and materials to choose from, it’s easy enough to come up with wallpaper design ideas. Of course, you can always do a bit of research to guide you in selecting the best wallpaper designs for your project.
Here are some impressive wallpaper ideas for all areas in your home.
Bedroom Wallpaper Ideas
Since the bedroom works as your haven for comfort, relaxation and sleep, choosing from the right selection of bedroom wallpaper designs is crucial.

The best way to approach bedroom wallpaper is to choose one wall for maximum visual impact as an accent wall, typically on the first or biggest wall you see as you enter the room. An example would be choosing a large dramatic print or a stunning custom wallpaper for your visual statement – a reproduction of your favourite painting or a print that you’d love to see in your room every day.
Ideally, the design you choose should evoke the dominant mood you want in your bedroom. But to prevent the look from seeming too heavy, consider using the wall behind your headboard for this feature. This way, even selecting a daring print or pattern won’t distract you from winding down for a night of restful sleep.

Children’s Bedroom Wallpaper Ideas
You can certainly have fun with children’s bedroom wallpaper ideas, as wallpapers for kids’ bedrooms tend to be cute and colourful. You can also indulge your imagination in this project and use wallpapers that are cheerful, bright and bold.
However, try to steer clear of too-trendy prints that your children will eventually outgrow, such as cartoon character prints. Besides, there’s a wonderful selection of designs you and your children can choose from without the need to resort to short-lived trends.
You can use bright colours and patterned wallpaper to personalise your tiny tot’s and not-so-tiny-tot’s space. Try to choose a colour scheme that is versatile, gender-neutral and can stick with them (pun intended) even as they grow older. You can even incorporate wall stickers that you can change easily as needed.

Teenagers’ Bedroom Wallpaper Ideas
An interesting way to design a teenager’s bedroom is by making use of a feature wall. This could be a giant world map, a striking colour photo, a favourite logo, or of course, your favourite footy team.

For general wallpapering, including selecting wallpaper for a teenager’s room, stick to muted or tiny prints that are tasteful yet youthful.

- Using exotic prints for interest and contrast
- Brightening up a neutral scheme with pastel-hued tones
- Adding texture or interest by using wood-effect, abstract or shimmery wallpaper
- Utilising the universal and timeless appeal of striped wallpaper
- Mixing and matching styles from the same collection
- Incorporating a touch of opulence with vintage florals
- Bringing in nature with wallpaper featuring woodland or forest motifs
- Going for the simple, muted colours of Scandi prints

Wallpaper Design Ideas for the Living Room
When it comes to living room wallpaper ideas, you’re truly spoilt for choice, and the print or design you choose is mostly a matter of personal taste. Of course, you also need to consider the base colour of the space when considering wallpaper designs for your living room wall.
If you’re new to wallpapering, it’s usually best to start off with a small part of your living room, such as the chimney or fireplace section. This is a great place to implement wallpaper ideas for a living room feature wall. For example, you can wallpaper both sides of the fireplace to turn this section into a living room focal point. Choose a wallpaper shade that complements the dominant colour of the fireplace. You can also choose a large poster-style custom wallpaper featuring a striking image or scenery for your living room focal point.

Another way is to create a decorative backdrop using modern wallpaper for living rooms to keep the plain background of an open-back shelving unit from making your living space too simple or boring. There are so many ways to liven up this space using classic and modern living room wallpaper ideas. To ensure harmony and achieve a pleasant atmosphere, always make sure you consider the size of the room, how much light it receives and the theme of your home or space.

Bathroom Wallpaper Ideas
The bathroom is a relatively small yet highly functional space that you shouldn’t omit in your wallpapering endeavours. In fact, both timeless and modern wallpapers for bathrooms can easily make this space pop and a lot more fun than usual.
There are so many ways you can employ to ‘dress up’ your bathroom, such as using:
- Light-coloured neutral yet whimsical wallpaper to achieve an understated romantic look
- Monochromatic shades for a timeless look
- Splatter paint-inspired wallpaper for contrast or to impart a contemporary touch
- Retro prints to make a bathroom space less formal and look more energetic
- Flower or plant prints for a classic natural feel

Other bathroom wallpaper designs include using graphic or bold patterns, black and white, ombre prints and more. Your choice, again, will depend on the size of your space and the general look you’re going for. –
Kitchen Wallpaper Ideas
The kitchen is one of the most interesting places to design as it’s usually one of the busiest spaces in a household.
This is a space where you can adopt a classic, contemporary, simple or bold kitchen wallpaper design approach. You don’t even need to think of wallpapering the entire area either. You can focus on kitchen feature wall ideas instead.

For example, you can confine your wallpapering to your backsplash, breakfast nook or bar. Here, you can add a touch of colour and an interesting pattern to your kitchen.
Of course, no one’s stopping you from going all out and covering your kitchen with gorgeous wallpaper. Floral or nature-inspired wallpaper in rustic colours goes well with country or farmhouse-style kitchens. Black and white wallpaper or geometric prints complement industrial chic-style kitchens, whilst art deco-inspired patterns can impart a retro vibe instantly to any kitchen.
