Wallpapers can transform a space and add an extra dimension in a way that is hard to achieve with a lick of paint on the wall. Wallpaper can be especially suited for a bedroom to achieve the right mood and romantic appearance.
Below you can find my selection of the most inspiring bedroom wallpaper ideas ranging from romantic to more minimal.
A classic William Morris wallpaper design combined with a rattan headboard
This beautiful bedroom has been covered in the Pimpernel design from Morris co which has an impressive effect on the space.
The rattan headboard and the sheer white and beige curtains contribute to this romantic setting and the wallpaper highlights the interesting assymetric floorplan of the room.

Patterned wallpaper decorating all four walls
When you have enough space in your bedroom, you can cover all walls for an impressive effect. The white trim, ceilings, and floorboards in this bedroom accentuate the wallpaper design and the shades of beige and wood tones in the furniture really pop out against the wallpaper in the background.

The blue wallpaper adds a fresh yet romantic touch to this bedroom decorated in light and warm tones. I love the way the vintage-painted cabinet stands out against the sophisticated backdrop and the mixture of beige and white bedding adds a relaxing vibe to this setting.

A small wallpaper section as a headboard
The beautiful wardrobe around the bed works wonderfully in this large bedroom and it’s a great example of how you can use wallpapers in small sections of your interior design. The wallpaper finishes off the wall in the nook created by the wardrobe, functioning as a headboard of sorts.

A graphic beige and brown wallpaper accent wall
This bedroom is rather basic and decorated with a mixture of beige and white tones that work well with the warm tone of the hardwood flooring. The beige and brown graphic wallpaper works as an eye-catching accent wall and spruces up the design of the room.

A tropical touch in a neutral color palette
The fresh pattern of the tropical leaves on this beautiful bedroom wallpaper is applied above the white wainscoting for a subtle effect that brightens up the entire space which has been decorated in a modest color palette.

A subtle beige wallpaper combined with beige and black accents
The beautiful beige patterned wallpaper in this turn-of-the-century bedroom creates a wonderful backdrop for the wood mirror, black wall lamps, and the grey fabric headboard. The wallpaper design really adds a subtle personality to the space, further enhanced by the careful selection of furnishings and lighting.
The addition of the two olive vintage lounge chairs is great to relax and read a book at night and the material and color combination pairs up perfectly with the endless leaf pattern on the wall.

How to select bedroom wallpapers
There is a large variety of wallpapers available and the design can affect your room in a great way. If you are trying to achieve a modern look, opt for an abstract or geometric design complemented by clean lines in the furniture. For a more glamorous effect in your space, opt for an art deco pattern.
Go for a striped wallpaper design if you want to add classic beauty to your space or go for floral patterns if you want to create a romantic room design.
The effect of wallpaper designs in different bedrooms
The size of the pattern can have an effect on the room as well. Smaller pattern designs will add more detail and they tend to be more subtle, especially in large bedrooms.
Wallpapers with a large pattern on the other hand will be more bold and tend to make smaller bedrooms appear even smaller.
