Black & White Chinoiserie Wallpaper for Hallways
Chinoiserie began in 18th-century Europe as an imaginative response to imported painted silks and porcelain. Branches, blossom and birds give walls a hand-painted, collected-over-time feel.
The hallway makes the first impression of your home. Pattern disguises scuffs and adds interest to a space you pass through many times a day.
Black and white wallpaper is graphic, timeless and surprisingly easy to style.
Our edit of 18 original designs includes cherry bough, garden birds, garden of birds, pavilion garden, peony bough, silk aviary and more. Highlights from the edit include Montacute Garden of Birds, Lacock Peony Bough, Hanbury Willow Court.

Styling tips
- Lacquer-red, celadon and gold accents suit chinoiserie, as do bamboo-effect furniture and blue-and-white ceramics.
- Add one accent colour – yellow, green or red – for a contemporary edge.
- Choose our scrubbable Premium paper for high-traffic areas.
- Run it all the way round a dining room or bedroom to create the immersive 'painted room' effect it was invented for.
How much will I need?
A typical hallway wall of about 5.0 m wide × 2.5 m high needs 10 drops. With a 64 cm pattern repeat you get 3 drops per 10 m roll, so you would order 4 rolls – from £176.80 on Standard paper to £290.16 on Luxe. Use the calculator on any product page for your exact walls.
Make it your own
Every design in this edit can be recoloured, rescaled and previewed on a photo of your own wall in Design Your Own, then printed made-to-measure.
