Choosing the right wallpaper can completely transform a room—but with so many patterns, textures, and colors available, knowing where to start can feel overwhelming. Whether you're designing a bold feature wall or refreshing a whole room, this guide will help you understand how to choose the perfect wallpaper for your style.
From modern wallpaper ideas to timeless classics, here’s everything you need to consider when shopping for peel and stick wallpaper or removable wallpaper that fits your vision.
Step 1: Define Your Style
Before you shop, think about how you want the space to feel. Are you drawn to clean lines and minimalism, or do you love bold prints and color?
- Modern & Minimal – Soft textures, neutral tones, and subtle patterns like linen, plaster, or concrete.
- Boho & Eclectic – Artistic florals, hand-drawn motifs, or bold color combinations.
- Classic & Traditional – Damask, toile, or soft vintage-inspired florals in warm hues.
- Coastal & Relaxed – Breezy palettes like sand, sage, and sea blue with botanical or abstract patterns.
- Glam & Statement-Making – Metallics, oversized prints, and dramatic tones.
Step 2: Consider the Room
- Living Room: Accent wall behind the sofa or fireplace with calming tones or textures.
- Bedroom: Romantic floral, natural linen texture, or mural behind the bed.
- Kids’ Room: Removable wallpaper in playful prints or gentle pastels.
- Kitchen & Dining: Washable peel and stick wallpaper with tile, botanical, or geometric looks.
- Home Office: Clean abstract or vertical stripe for structure and inspiration.
- Bathroom: Spa-like vibe with soft botanicals or bold accents.
Step 3: Choose the Right Wallpaper Type
Wall Blush offers both peel and stick wallpaper and traditional wallpaper—both fully removable.
- Peel and Stick Wallpaper: Ideal for renters or commitment-shy decorators. Easy to install and reposition. Removes cleanly without damage.
- Traditional (Luxe) Wallpaper: Seamless, professional-grade finish. Still removable and damage-free. Great for long-term installations.
Step 4: Test Before You Commit
Lighting can dramatically change how wallpaper appears. Always order samples and test them in your space at different times of day. This is especially important for textured wallpaper or subtle tone-on-tone prints.
Wall Blush offers $2 samples so you can confidently choose the best wallpaper for your style before placing a full order.
Quick Tips to Make the Right Choice
- Match your mood: Want calm? Go soft and neutral. Want energy? Try bold contrast or oversized prints.
- Play with scale: Small spaces can handle large patterns if the color palette is cohesive.
- Don’t be afraid of texture: Faux linen, concrete, plaster, and brushed strokes all add dimension.
- Balance bold and neutral: Pair bold wallpaper with simple furnishings for a grounded look.
