Wallpaper may have fallen in and out of fashion over the years but we’re happy to see that it’s officially back in vogue. The vintage design trend has made it’s return with the resurgence of English style interiors, which is seeing people sought after more colour, character and charm in their homes. And wallpaper provides all three.
Out of all of the rooms that you can adorn with wallpaper, the bedroom is a space that particularly benefits from wallpaper’s cocooning effect. Whether it’s bringing an element of romance to the room with a beautiful floral pattern, adding a sense of playfulness in a child’s bedroom or simply tying the space together with some much-needed colour and depth, wallpaper will always elevate a bedroom.
For your inspiration, we have selected 11 of the most beautiful bedroom wallpaper designs to have featured in Home Beautiful over the years.
Colour and pattern reign in this joyful bedroom, where Adlington’ wallpaper by Lee Jofa provides a romantic backdrop for the custom bedhead upholstered in ‘Somerville’ fabric by Warwick, cane bedsides from Flamingo Rd and cushions made from Pierre Frey’s striped ‘Alicia’ fabric. A duo of ‘Milling Lane’ lamps with ‘Scallop Edge Raffia’ shades, and an antique quilt cover, all from Spiro Store, complete the colourful space.
The owners of this lovely Melbourne home wanted their bedroom to feel tranquil but richly decorated. A cosy but elegant look is achieved with the eye-catching Jasper Fabrics ‘Kashmir’ wallpaper, from Michael S Smith Inc and a custom bedhead by Jam Interiors, which is upholstered in Rose Tarlow ‘Kasteel’ fabric in Tarn. The earthy brown patterned bedspread and patterned cushions complete the desired look.
The pretty ‘Clementine’ wallpaper in Indienne from Sanderson adds a whimsical charm to the bedroom of the homeowner’s young daughter. A custom bedhead is covered with Boyac ‘Normandy’ linen in Sorbet and the area above the picture rails painted Dulux Blossom Time, tying the room together with a pop of soft pink.
This beachside property required a level of interiors to match the impressive surroundings. In the bedroom, Schumacher ‘Kerala Paisley’ wallpaper sets the tone for the core palette of coastal blues within the room. Striped blue curtains, throw pillows and a ‘Mahalo’ quilt from Pottery Barn complete the look.
The main bedroom in the same beautiful Hamptons style abode as above also recieved a blue refresh during the renovation. This bedroom opts for lighter blue hues with the light blue Schumacher ‘Khilana Floral’ wallpaper in Peacock adorning the walls and the muted silvery green, Dulux Antarctica Lake Half, swathed across the ceiling.
Classic grandeur
Designed by Lauren Mahoney of Studio Trio, this period style bedroom reflects the Sydney heritage house in which it belongs. Soft floral Schumacher ‘Betty’ wallpaper offers a cocooning effect while the dark walnut nightstand adds stunning contrast.
Tropical charm
Shades of green pervade the interiors of this Queensland cottage. Here, in one of the cottage’s guest bedrooms, it’s echoed in a bamboo bedhead, found on Marketplace, paired with a Rachel Elizabeth Interiors quilt, to custom cushions, lamp shades and the statement Diane Bergeron ‘Great Jones’ wallpaper in Moss.
The homeowner’s youngest daughter is tickled pink with her bedroom, which features a bed from Domayne, Pottery Barn Kids bedlinen, and a vintage side table finished by Devine Elegance using paints from the company’s range.
But the magical Etsy wallpape is the star; its free-flowing design of rose vines and birds creates a whimsical feel within the much-loved space.
In this Brisbane home, an accent wall papered in Magnolia ‘Grandiflora’ from Magnolia Interiors reflects the greenery outside the guest bedroom. “The room has the most amazing views through its large French doors into the garden,” says interior designer and homeowner, Tori.
An East Coast colour palette brings a sense of luxury to this lakeside cottage. Board and batten wainscoting anchor the room while wallpaper from Soane Britain, Visual Comfort wall lights in a custom fabric and a blue bed quilt from Etsy all provide cooling colours.
The bedroom belonging to the homeowner’s only daughter got a fun, feminine treatment. Wainscoting is a wonderful detail put in during the renovation, with a floral wallpaper from Milton & King adding a bright splash of colour.
