Dark & Moody Arts & Crafts Wallpaper for Living Rooms
The Arts & Crafts movement championed hand-craft and nature, producing densely layered foliage patterns. Our designs are original pieces created in that spirit.
The living room is where most people start with wallpaper. A feature wall behind the sofa or across the chimney breast gives an instant focal point without overwhelming the space.
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 31 original designs includes briar rose, garden tapestry, hedgerow, orchard, woodland vine. Highlights from the edit include Elsworth Woodland Vine, Holloway Briar Rose, Locke Garden Tapestry.

Styling tips
- Rich wood, earthenware and heritage paint colours sit beautifully with this style.

- Perfect for period homes, snugs and dining rooms.
How much will I need?
A typical living room wall of about 4.2 m wide × 2.4 m high needs 9 drops. With a 53 cm pattern repeat you get 3 drops per 10 m roll, so you would order 3 rolls – from £132.60 on Standard paper to £217.62 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.
