With the right wall covering you can transform a purely functional space into one of opulence and style. Deep shades allow you to create a rich, intimate atmosphere that exudes luxury and sophistication.
But how do you decide on a style when each creates such a different impression? And how do you ensure your choice complements the rest of your decor?
In this article, we explore seven dark wallpaper styles to take inspiration from. We also look at tips to blend these with the rest of your interior.
Rich dark greens such as those found in this art-deco geometric design work perfectly to add contrast to bathrooms and create a decadent atmosphere. Pair with clean white tiles and brushed-brass fittings for a timeless elegant look.
Pairing a dark shade with a texture allows you to create intrigue and depth in your bathroom. Just take a look at the 3D nature of hand-woven grasscloth in the example below. Wall coverings like this come in a huge variety of patterns and look breathtaking on feature walls behind fixtures like large mirrors.
The Georgian era is famed for its rich, dark wallpaper shades with intricate patterns. And bringing a taste of this into the modern day can allow you to beautifully fuse the classic with the ultra-modern. Grid prints like this stunning dark grey Georgian-inspired covering blend seamlessly with clean lines and elevated design.
Dark wallpapers don’t have to be synonymous with a moody atmosphere. Take a look at this sumptuous dark turquoise print as an example. Based on classical Chinese garden scenes popular in 17th-century European houses, it features hand-painted birds and flowers which breathe life into the bathroom and look as refreshing today as they did back then.
High-contrast patterns like these interweaving swirls are perfect for injecting a sense of fun into luxury bathrooms while still retaining a high-end, rich aesthetic. This would work equally well with dark burnt oranges or mysterious deep greens. Pair patterns like this with rich, textured materials such as marble or polished metals to enhance the luxurious feel.
It’s easy to create a bold statement with a dark wallpaper and this de Gournay design is the perfect example. Capturing eyes in any room, it’s the perfect finishing touch to a bathroom your guests will never forget. Pair this with black furniture and, if a full room with such a bold design seems too much, focus it on a statement wall.
