How to style black and white wallpapers

We love the simple elegance that comes from a black, white or monochrome wallpaper. Whether it’s wallpapers comprising of simple shimmers, stark geometrics, or pale shades, striping back colour can create a modern, striking scheme that provides the perfect finishing touch in your room.

In the dark

Make moody shades such as inky steel, charcoal and slate your choice to elevate larger spaces. Using this shade as inspiration for your bedroom wallpaper , kitchen, or other large rooms, will create a sense of drama without making the room feel closed in.

Pair our charcoal wallpaper designs with clean, simple furniture for the ultimate style statement. Don’t be afraid to experiment and embrace the dark side, black enhances the colours and shapes around it. Shop dark toned wallpaper designs here.

Pale and interesting

Keep things pale and interesting with a mix of whites and create a light, airy space that oozes elegance.

If you prefer something on the lighter side choose a palette of white, ivory and porcelain. This way it’s easy to add visual interest and warmth with a mix of textures within your furniture and accessories. Shop neutral wallpaper designs here.

Monochrome

Black and white are a perfect colour combination with endless possibilities. Graphic patterns stop things looking stark and create a bold backdrop. We also recommend getting creative by adding a pop of colour!
