A wallpaper does more than fill a wall; it sets the tone for everything else in the room. The colours you live with, the patterns you wake up to, the mood a space carries, it all starts here. With over 5,000 designs to choose from at Print A Wallpaper, the options are genuinely exciting. But knowing how to choose a wallpaper design that works for your specific space makes all the difference between a room that just looks good and one that feels perfectly right for you. This wallpaper matchmaking guide helps you pick a wallpaper that brings your vision to life.
Start with the basics: the orientation of your wall. A wide, landscape-style wall calls for a horizontal design, while a tall, narrow wall works better with vertical patterns. Getting this right helps the design feel intentional rather than forced.
Once you’ve settled on orientation, measure your wall before browsing. Knowing your dimensions upfront helps you visualise how a design will actually scale across your space. A pattern that looks intricate on screen can feel overwhelming across a large wall, while a bold mural might be exactly what a smaller wall needs.
This is where it gets personal. With categories ranging from abstract art and botanicals to cityscapes, marble and everything in between, there’s genuinely something for every sensibility. Don’t overthink it—go with what you’re drawn to.
Your wallpaper should enhance your room, not compete with it.
Not sure where to start? Use your existing interiors as your cue.
Here's a quick cheat sheet on how to choose a wallpaper design based on the style you're working with:
Clean geometrics, subtle textures, monochromatic palettes
Botanicals, earthy tones, painterly or handcrafted-style prints
Damasks, architectural prints, muted florals with structure
Illustrated worlds, maps, characters, colour-rich patterns
Abstract art, brand-consistent colour schemes, textured neutrals
Start with your wall dimensions and the overall mood you want the room to carry. From there, consider the existing colours and furniture in the space, your wallpaper should feel like a natural extension of the room and you should enjoy being in its presence. Browse by category, shortlist what you're drawn to, and if you're torn between options, our team is happy to help you decide.
Lighter backgrounds, vertical stripes, and smaller-scale patterns tend to open up a space visually. If your room is on the smaller side, avoid very large or dark prints that can close the walls in. Subtle textures and soft geometrics are a good place to start.
Yes, on each product page, you can set your wall dimensions and see how the design scales to your specific measurements before placing your order. It's worth taking a moment to do this, especially for larger walls, so there are no surprises when it arrives.
Look at what you already have in the room, the furniture tones, the flooring, the light sources , and use those as your anchors. A wallpaper that picks up on one or two existing colours in a room almost always works well. If your interiors are busy, go simpler with the wallpaper. If your furniture is neutral, that's your opportunity to let the wall do the talking.
For bedrooms, softer tones and nature-inspired or textural designs tend to create a calm, restful atmosphere. For offices and commercial spaces, designs with stronger visual presence, abstract art, architectural prints, or brand-aligned graphics, work well and hold attention without being distracting. The material finish matters too: a Matte Finish suits formal or minimal spaces, Canvas Texture adds warmth, and Glitter Texture works well in spaces where a bit of personality is welcome.
