The wall behind the bed is the first one you see when you enter the bedroom. It sets the character of the room, and a single wallpaper can transform it.

Three approaches

  • Panel or mural: one continuous motif without a repeat that frames the bed like a picture. Choose from wallpaper panels and murals.
  • Texture only: fabric and linen looks are calm and hotel-elegant, for example from the Murella 100 collection.
  • Relief and light: embossed wallpapers play with the side light of bedside lamps, looking different at night than by day.

Colours for good sleep

  • Earth tones, honey and ochre, sage green and midnight blue are calming.
  • Pure white and strong red are stimulating and do not belong behind the bed.
  • A dark bed wall looks especially deep with light bed linen.

Placement to measure

  1. If the bed is not centred, wallpaper only the area of bed and bedside tables and finish the sides with a slim trim.
  2. With a panel, check that the main motif sits above the headboard.
  3. With a low ceiling, choose a vertically structured pattern.

Frequently asked questions

Do all walls need wallpaper?

No. A patterned bed wall with the others in a matching plain wallpaper or paint gives a balanced room.

What if the panel does not fit the wall?

If the wall is larger, it is extended at the sides with a matching plain wallpaper.

Which wallpaper for a small bedroom?

Light texture rather than a big pattern; more in making small rooms look bigger.

Is a dark bedroom wall too gloomy?

With warm light and light textiles it feels cosy, not gloomy.

How many rolls do I need for one wall?

That depends on width, height and pattern repeat; see how many rolls of wallpaper.
