Wallpaper & Wall Coverings Style Guides
2 curated style guides touching wallpaper & wall coverings, pulled from across our whole UK home & garden catalogue.
Looking for the perfect wallpaper to transform your walls? Our Wallpaper & Wall Coverings category offers a vast selection of designs, patterns, and textures to suit every style and room. From traditional floral prints and intricate damasks to modern geometric shapes and bold stripes, we have everything you need to create a stunning feature wall or completely revamp your space. This section focuses specifically on wallpapers – the decorative element that adds personality and character to your home, offering a diverse range of materials including vinyl, non-woven, and traditional paper options.
Feature Wall Style Home UK
A feature wall turns a single wall into the focal point of a room, without needing to redecorate the whole space. This hub gathers genuinely statement-making pieces for building one — bold and textured wallpaper, real wood slat panelling, a large wall mural, and geometric mirror tiles — pulled from across our wallpaper, wall-coverings and home decor ranges.
Eco & Sustainable Home UK
Unlike our other style hubs, eco/sustainable isn't a look defined by colour or silhouette — it's a values-led choice running through materials instead. This hub gathers genuinely eco-marketed pieces from across our catalogue — recycled cotton throws, FSC-certified cork and organic cotton yoga accessories, an eco-friendly wallpaper and recycled-plastic kitchen and cleaning essentials — for anyone who wants their home to reflect that choice without hunting through every category's small print.

How do I choose the correct width of wallpaper?+
The width is clearly stated on each product listing. Ensure you measure your wall accurately before purchasing to avoid costly mistakes and calculate the required amount of wallpaper needed for your project.
What tools will I need to install wallpaper?+
Depending on the type of wallpaper, you’ll typically require a measuring tape, plumb bob, smoothing brush, seam roller, utility knife, and perhaps a pasting table. Check the manufacturer's instructions for specific requirements.

Absolutely! Many of our wallpapers are designed to be easily cut and pieced together to create bespoke designs or geometric patterns. Consider the scale of the pattern when planning your layout.
What is non-woven wallpaper?+
Non-woven wallpaper is a breathable material that doesn’t require a lining paper underneath, making it easier to install and reposition. It's ideal for feature walls and areas with uneven surfaces.
How do I prepare the wall before installing wallpaper?+
It’s crucial to ensure your walls are clean, smooth, and properly prepared. This typically involves plastering over any imperfections, filling gaps, and applying a bonding solution for optimal adhesion.
