Wallpaper

Wallpaper is the fastest way to give a room personality—pattern, texture, and depth that paint can't touch. Shop designer-curated wallpaper, from subtle grasscloth to bold botanicals and removable peel-and-stick.

About Wallpaper

Where to use wallpaper

An accent wall behind a bed or sofa adds impact without committing the whole room. Small spaces—powder rooms, entries, the back of a bookshelf—are perfect for bold patterns since you experience them in short, delightful bursts. Ceilings (the 'fifth wall') are a designer move for unexpected charm.

Removable vs. traditional wallpaper

Peel-and-stick (removable) is renter- and DIY-friendly and comes off cleanly—great for accent walls and trying a trend. Traditional paste-the-wall papers are more durable and seamless for a long-term, whole-room install. Grasscloth and natural fibers add texture but want careful handling.

Choosing scale and pattern

Large-scale patterns make a statement and can actually open up a small room; small, tight patterns read almost like texture from across the room. Pull a color from your furnishings, and consider how busy the pattern feels in the rooms you'll see it from daily.

How much wallpaper do I need?

Measure each wall's width × height, total the square footage, and add 10–15% for pattern repeat and trimming. Note the roll's coverage and pattern repeat—larger repeats waste more. When in doubt, order an extra roll from the same batch to avoid color mismatches later.

Wallpaper FAQs

Is removable wallpaper any good?

Yes—modern peel-and-stick looks great and removes cleanly, making it ideal for renters, accent walls, and trying bold patterns with low commitment.

Where should I use wallpaper?

Accent walls, powder rooms, entries, the back of shelving, or a ceiling—anywhere a hit of pattern adds personality, especially smaller spaces.

How much wallpaper should I order?

Measure total wall square footage and add 10–15% for pattern repeat and trimming; order extra from the same batch to avoid color mismatches.

Will a big pattern make my small room feel smaller?

Not necessarily—large-scale patterns can actually open up a small room, while tight patterns read as texture. Choose by mood and how often you'll see it.
