What Are Wallpaper Styles?

Wallpaper styles are groups of designs that share the same overall look, such as modern, traditional, botanical, Art Deco or boho. Shopping wallpaper by style lets you start with the feeling you want in a room and then choose a design, instead of scrolling through every pattern. Giffywalls sorts its designer wallpaper and wall murals into 25+ styles, and every design can be printed to your exact wall size.

How to Choose a Wallpaper Style in 3 Steps

  1. Pick the mood first. Decide whether the room should feel calm and airy, warm and cozy, or bold and dramatic, because the mood rules out half the styles straight away.
  2. Check the size of the room. Small rooms look best with light, simple patterns, while large rooms and feature walls can carry big murals and dark colors.
  3. Match one color. Choose a wallpaper style that shares at least one shade with your sofa, bedding or flooring so the wall looks planned rather than added.

Popular Wallpaper Styles Right Now

  1. Maximalist wallpaper uses big patterns and saturated colors, and it works best on a single feature wall if you are new to bold decor.
  2. Dark academia wallpaper uses deep greens, browns and antique-style prints, which suit studies, reading corners and dining rooms.
  3. Cottagecore wallpaper uses small florals and faded garden prints to soften bedrooms and kitchens.
  4. Minimalist wallpaper uses warm neutrals and plaster or linen effects to create a calm, Japandi-style room.
  5. Art Deco wallpaper uses fans, arches and gold lines to add glamour to hallways and powder rooms.

FAQs

Which materials is best for wallpaper?

Wallpapers are made from standard paper, canvas paper, premium paper, peel and stick materials for durability and style.

How Do I Measure My Wall for a Wall Mural?

How Do I Order Custom Size Wallpaper or Wall Mural?

Pick a design, enter wall dimensions, choose material, and place your order. Contact support for help!

What does "wallpaper by style" mean?

It means browsing wallpaper grouped by look, like modern, vintage, floral or geometric, instead of by color or room. It's the quickest route if you know the mood you want but not the exact design.

What are the most popular wallpaper styles right now?

Maximalist pattern, dark academia, cottagecore florals, Japandi-style minimalism and Art Deco are among the most popular wallpaper styles right now. Large nature murals, such as forests and tropical leaves, are also a popular choice.

What wallpaper style is timeless?

Botanical prints, damask, toile and simple stripes are timeless wallpaper styles that rarely look dated. For a wall that will outlast several redecorations, choose one of these styles in a muted color.

What is the difference between modern and traditional wallpaper?

Modern wallpaper uses clean lines, open space and soft or neutral colors, as seen in Scandinavian and minimalist designs. Traditional wallpaper uses ornate, detailed repeats such as damask, toile and Victorian florals, usually in richer colors.

How do I choose the right wallpaper style for my home?

Start with the room mood, your existing furniture colors, and how busy you want the wall to feel. Soft florals suit bedrooms, geometric prints lift hallways, and bold murals work behind sofas or beds. Match the style to what already lives in the room.

What style of wallpaper works best in small rooms?

Light backgrounds with simple pattern, like Scandinavian geometrics, soft florals or pale botanicals, keep a small room feeling open. Vertical stripes add height. Dark, heavy styles can work too, but they make the room feel cozier rather than bigger.

Can I mix two wallpaper styles in one room?

Yes. Keep one style as the feature wall and use a quieter one, like a texture or small repeat, on the other walls. Linking them through a shared color makes the pairing look intentional.

What is the difference between mural wallpaper and standard patterned wallpaper?

A wall mural is one large image that spans the whole wall, like a forest or city scene. Patterned wallpaper repeats a smaller design across the wall. Most styles in this collection come in both formats.

Can I get peel and stick wallpaper in any style?

Most styles are available in peel and stick, including modern, vintage, floral, mural and textured designs. It suits renters and anyone who changes their decor often, because it removes without paste.

Is custom sized wallpaper available in every style?

Yes. Every Giffywalls design is printed to order, so you enter your wall's width and height and the wallpaper or mural is printed to those measurements.
