Collection: Living Room Wallpaper

The best wallpaper for a living room depends on the style you want to create, the condition of your walls and how much wear the room receives.

Non-woven wallpaper is a popular choice for living rooms because it is generally easy to hang and remove, while vinyl wallpaper can offer greater durability and is suitable where a more hard-wearing finish is required. Textured wallpapers can also be useful for adding depth and helping to disguise minor imperfections on the walls.

For a more decorative finish, patterned, floral, geometric and textured wallpapers can all work well in living rooms. Consider the existing furniture, flooring and natural light when choosing a design.

Yes, ordering a wallpaper sample is a good way to see how a colour, pattern and texture will look in your living room before committing to full rolls.

A sample allows you to view the wallpaper in your own space and see how it looks under different lighting conditions throughout the day. It can also help you check that the colour works with your furniture and other décor. All samples are dispatched the same day when ordered before 2 pm and will be with you quick sharp in 2 working days. With DCO, your first two samples are completely free.

All our samples are full width and cut to approximately 30 cm in height, so you can get a proper feel for your perfect design.

For a small living room, lighter colours and subtle patterns can help create a brighter and more spacious feel. Soft whites, creams, warm neutrals, pale greens and light blues can work particularly well where you want to maximise the sense of space.

If you prefer a bolder look, you don't necessarily have to avoid dark or heavily patterned wallpaper. Using a striking design on one wall can create a focal point without making the whole room feel enclosed.

Large-scale patterns can make a strong statement, while smaller, more understated patterns can provide visual interest without overwhelming a compact room. The amount of natural light in the room should also be considered when choosing your wallpaper colour.

You can wallpaper either a single feature wall or all four walls, depending on the size of the room and the look you want to achieve.

A feature wall is a good option if you want to introduce a bold colour or pattern without covering the entire room. It can also be used to draw attention to a fireplace, TV area or another architectural feature.

Wallpapering all four walls can create a more cohesive and immersive look, particularly when using a subtle pattern or neutral design. In larger living rooms, an all-over wallpaper can help make the space feel more finished and coordinated.

There is no single right approach, so consider the size, natural light and existing décor of your living room when deciding how much wallpaper to use.

The number of wallpaper rolls you need depends on the size and height of your walls, the width of the wallpaper and the pattern repeat.

To estimate the quantity required, measure the height and total width of the walls you want to wallpaper. You should also account for doors and windows, although it's generally advisable not to deduct these areas when making an initial calculation. The wallpaper's pattern repeat can significantly affect how much usable wallpaper you get from each roll.

For the most accurate calculation, use the rolls calculator available on all wallpaper product pages.
