Dark & Moody Art Deco Wallpaper for Cloakrooms
Art Deco design, born in 1920s Paris, celebrates symmetry, fans, sunbursts and stepped forms. It adds instant glamour, especially in metallic-look tones.
The downstairs loo or cloakroom is the place to be brave. In a small room, bold pattern feels like a jewellery box rather than overwhelming.
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 29 original designs includes chrysler step, cocktail scallop, deco fan, palais fan, radiant sunburst, riviera shell and more. Highlights from the edit include Lytes Radiant Sunburst, Osbert Sunburst, Calloway Palais Fan.

Styling tips
- Combine with velvet, brass, smoked glass and curved furniture for a full Jazz Age mood.
- Use warm lamps rather than overhead light to make dark walls glow.
- Pattern on all walls and even the ceiling is a designer trick worth trying.
- Deco fans and shells are superb in dining rooms and cloakrooms where a little drama goes a long way.
How much will I need?
A typical cloakroom wall of about 1.6 m wide × 2.4 m high needs 4 drops. With a 53 cm pattern repeat you get 3 drops per 10 m roll, so you would order 2 rolls – from £88.40 on Standard paper to £145.08 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.
