Wallpapers for the Living Room and Bedroom
Wallpaper transforms a room more than any piece of furniture, allowing you to focus on one wall instead of redecorating everything from scratch. At Eye on Design, you'll find designer wallpapers from European manufacturers – from subtle textures to bold decorative patterns.
How Many Rolls Do You Need?
A standard roll is 10 m long and 53 cm wide, covering about 5 m² – but practically, it covers less. With a wall height of 2.6 m, you can cut three strips from one roll, which is about 1.6 m of wall width.
Don't forget to account for pattern matching: with designs that have a large repeat, you may need to add 15–20% extra. Rolls from the same production batch have identical shades, so it's better to buy one extra roll upfront than to purchase more later.
Wallpaper for the Bedroom
In the bedroom, wallpaper is most often placed on the wall behind the bed – this is the only wall you won't see while lying down, so you can opt for a bolder pattern without the risk of overwhelming the space.
Calm botanical motifs, delicate textures, and textile wallpapers that further soundproof the room work well here. It's worth repeating the color in the bedding or throw.
Wallpaper for the Living Room
In the living room, a natural spot is the wall behind the sofa or the TV area. An important rule: if the wallpaper is patterned, the rest of the interior should be subdued – if the sofa and rug also have patterns, everything starts to compete with each other.
It's a good idea to highlight the wallpaper with wall sconces – side lighting emphasizes the texture that can get lost under overhead light.
Types of Wallpapers
Non-woven wallpapers are applied by putting glue on the wall, not on the wallpaper – this is the simplest installation and the cleanest work. Vinyl wallpapers are moisture-resistant and washable, making them suitable for kitchens and hallways. Textile wallpapers have the richest texture but require careful cleaning.
An alternative to repetitive patterns is wall murals – a large-format composition that covers an entire wall. The overall decoration can be complemented with posters and pictures as well as wall decorations.
