Bedroom Wallpaper: Headboard Walls, Calm Patterns and Ceilings

Bedrooms are ideal for wallpaper: they are dry, low-traffic and private, so almost any material works, including grasscloth and silk. The most popular choice is the wall behind the headboard, with calm, medium-scale patterns or textures. A papered ceiling is a striking extra, because it is what you see when you lie down.

In short

  • Headboard wall: the classic accent.
  • Calm botanicals, textures and soft stripes suit sleep spaces.
  • Natural fibers work well in dry bedrooms.
  • A papered ceiling adds drama in a room you see from the bed.

Where to put it

  • Headboard wall: frames the bed; you do not face it while lying down.
  • All four walls: cozy, enveloping look with small or textured patterns.
  • Ceiling: a bold option. See ceiling guide.
  • Inside a closet: a private surprise.

Installation day tips

  • Move the bed away from the wall, or confirm the crew will.
  • Remove wall-mounted lamps and art.
  • Ventilate the room well while the paste dries, ideally sleeping elsewhere the first night if the smell bothers you.
