Living room = feel-good room
The living room is the social heart of your home: where family and friends spend the most pleasant times of the day, it should also be particularly beautiful. The right wallpaper for the living room is only a small but crucial detail. Would you like to order your modern wallpaper for the living room online? You can do that easily with us. Let's take a closer look at what there is to know about living rooms and wallpaper: you will find tips and tricks as well as important information about properties and design here.
The perfect living room wallpapers for every ambience
The possibilities for wall design in the living room are as varied as tastes. Designer wallpapers in a country house style, a world map on a large photo wallpaper, a modern 3D look or even paper wallpaper – thanks to the large selection, there is also the perfect addition for your interior design style. Living spaces are an expression of our taste and our attitude to life. This is particularly pleasantly reflected in a harmonious overall composition. The murals of the photo wallpaper provide the perfect backdrop for a minimalist interior design style, while the baroque floral wallpaper is ideal behind a sweeping, opulent sofa. Subtle shades such as beige or brown look good in the background of a retro-style interior. A designer wallpaper with a robust concrete look complements the industrial style, but can also be a contrasting addition to a playful living style.
Guide to living room wallpaper
Non-woven or paper, turquoise, pink or black and white, patterned, textured or plain? There is a lot to decide when it comes to new wallpaper. But with a few tricks and the necessary information in advance, your living room renovation project will be a breeze. We have put together some of the most important aspects to consider when choosing wallpaper for your living room.
Use designer wallpaper for large and high rooms
High walls in living rooms, such as in older buildings, often benefit from designer non-woven wallpaper, but also from playful details with filigree patterns. Photo wallpaper is also ideal for large surfaces, perhaps complemented by a single-colour wallpaper or the natural look of wood-effect or stone-effect wallpaper. A popular stone wallpaper is the brick motif, for example. Bauhaus wallpaper, on the other hand, combines aesthetics and function on the living room wall, in keeping with the unique design language of this architectural style from the early 20th century. You can realise your own ideas with our paintable wallpapers, on which you can apply wall paint directly yourself. Large rooms also allow bold colours such as orange, bright red or anthracite – here you can be bold! Glitter and shine are also popular accents in large, high living rooms.
Our tips: How to successfully design your living room walls
When designing walls for all living spaces, you should consider the overall picture: a harmonious combination of all furnishing elements makes the room a very personal expression of your taste and ensures the necessary cosiness. Wallpaper, décor and furniture should therefore match in terms of design, but also in terms of materials. So use materials that visually complement your style. Wallpaper with a textile or linen look works well in combination with linen-look cushions or blankets, while colourful striped wallpaper might be perfect behind a sofa that calls for a cheerful backdrop in a single colour. Textures, materials and colours all affect not only the durability of the wallpaper, but also the look of your living space.
Divide different living areas with living room wallpaper
Many living rooms are multifunctional: they are used for working, playing, relaxing and sometimes even eating. Different living and working areas can be visually separated and highlighted with wallpaper. The floral wallpaper or oriental-style ornamental wallpaper directly below the high glass front complements the play area for the little ones. In the dining area, the more robust vinyl wallpaper with its lightfastness and washability is the right choice. Of course, these are also available with floral-inspired patterns. Colourful patterned wallpapers effectively complement the decor of a single wallpaper, for example in the work area.
How do I hang my wallpaper in the living room?
You've found the right wallpaper and now you need to put it on the wall. Wallpapering and handling paste and other materials is easy to do yourself. Modern non-woven wallpapers and borders do not need to be soaked beforehand, and you can also easily remove these modern wallpapers from the wall in one piece later on. Depending on which wallpaper you choose, there are a few differences in how it is applied. But with a little skill and the help of friends or a professional painter, you can easily achieve the perfect interior design.
