When To Wallpaper More Than One Wall
When it comes to deciding how much wallpaper to bring into your home, a feature wall is often the default choice. It helps bring focus to your room, build a balanced colour palette and it’s generally a really safe way to introduce a bit of pattern into your home.
But what if you want to take this one step further and decorate more than one wall with paper? How do you know when it’s the right time to make such a big commitment? Can you decorate any space head to toe and expect it to work?
With a little help from some of our collaborators and the amazing work they’ve done with our wallpapers, we’ve outlined some scenarios below where wallpapering more than one wall might be the way to go!
Like all our blog posts, we want to provide you with some inspiration for your home, but if you have any specific questions about decorating your space, please don’t hesitate to get in touch.
When you’ve got a big room to fill
If you’ve got a large space to decorate, one wall of wallpaper just might not cut it. Wallpaper is there to enliven and accentuate your room, but if the dimensions are off, it could end up not having the impact you hoped for.
This is where we suggest running the pattern across another wall or two. Not only might this help your wallpaper make more of a statement, it may even bring the room together and help you craft a space that feels cohesive and complete.
Just take this adorable twin bedroom as an example, making good use of our Mountains Wallpaper in Blue Peach.

When you want an immersive experience
This is one of the biggest reasons we urge people to explore the possibility of decorating more than wall. Our designs have been created with the intention of transforming your space, whether that’s taking you off to the depths of the jungle, a magical woodland or to a prehistoric desertscape where dinosaurs roam.
As the talented Katey Stanley demonstrates with our Fish Wallpaper in Blue Green, a completely wallpapered room can create a real sense of imagination, with her little boy transported into the wide open ocean everytime he steps into his ‘under the sea’ themed room.

When the room is small
Small rooms are the easiest place to go all in. When pattern wraps all the walls, the eye moves continuously around the space with no bare edges to define where the room ends. It feels bigger, not smaller.
This powder room by Recast Homes, featuring our Hua Trees Mural in Grey, is proof.

When the room has a natural frame
An alcove or sleeping recess is a ready-made frame waiting to be filled. Papering inside it concentrates the pattern beautifully. Immersive, but contained.
Bo's bedroom by Nicki Bamford, featuring our Clematis Mural, does just that.
