Dark & Moody Abstract Wallpaper for Bedrooms
Abstract wallpaper brings the energy of contemporary art to a whole wall – brushstrokes, organic shapes and painterly washes.
Bedrooms are the perfect place to experiment because they are private and lived in mostly at night. A papered wall behind the bed acts like an oversized headboard.
Dark and moody wallpaper makes rooms feel cocooning and dramatic, and paradoxically can make small rooms feel larger as the corners recede.
Our edit of 14 original designs includes brushstroke, line & dot, watercolour wash. Highlights from the edit include Baxter Watercolour Wash, Tamsin Line & Dot, Tudor Brushstroke.
Shown: Baxter Watercolour Wash Wallpaper in Dusky Plum.
