Wall Paper for Bedroom Wall

last year
last modified: last year

I really want to put some type of wall paper on the wall behind the bed. i was thinking sone kind of floral or leaf to inject a little life without going overboard. what would you suggest? My husband does not want it too girly so this may be a tough sell! even though i might want floral, im open to other options ( maybe geometric or bohemian???) uf that’sa better compromise. A little color would be great, but nothing crazy as we tend to favor much darker colors or neutrals. What are your thoughts???

    I would instead repaint the room a deeper color.

    If the wall didn't have windows I would agree to wall paper.

    I am not a wallpaper Accent lover on a window wall, but if you are keeping the dark drapery panels, I would choose a dark wallpaper in the color of the panels.

    Wondering if painting the wall would give you the accent you want?

    your dark panels look so heavy in such an attractive bedroom. LOVE the rug!

    That one wall is not the right spot for wallpaper.

    If you want to "inject a little life" do it with more interesting pillows and blankets with some color and/or texture.

    @Lyn Nielson I just want to say this is an excellent way to provide constructive criticism. One of the reasons I am often hesitant to ask for advice on this site is because of how often it is delivered. I feel like people ask what color to paint a wall and instead they are told to change their floor! Not only is that type of advice not helpful, it's often not practical. You managed to offer your ideal solutions but also actually answered the question in a helpful way (if I do decide to do the wallpaper on this wall). And you are right! Maybe it is the drapery that has been driving me crazy! I don't mean this as an indictment of anyone else, just a commendation to you! Thanks again.

    I would do 2 panels on each window and be done I do not think that wall needs wallpaper and the rug is all the pattern you need . IMO too,amy pillows but I don't make the bed

    Your bedroom looks nice without wallpaper and I wouldn't do an accent wallpaper wall especially on a window wall but I suggest you replace the curtains for a lighter colour.

    You've done such a great job already, but I can see how a nice handsome grasscloth could really seal the deal. It will satisfy your desire for wallpaper, get a solid dark neutral in there, and not be too distracting.


    Other's have prudent advice about not wallpapering a wall with windows.


    I love your dark curtains, but I'm a fan of masculine decor so perhaps that is why. I think they ground the room and look great with the perimeter of wood that peeks from behind your rug.

    You’ve done a lovely job…but I think adding floral or geometric wallpaper there will be too busy and distract from the overall feel of the room. Maybe try different art if you want more impact.


    Consider grasscloth in a more textured design containing shades that tie in the drapery and rug. Think big picture and the effects on the entire room.
