Dark & Moody Check & Plaid Wallpaper
Checks and plaids – gingham, tartan, windowpane, dogtooth – bring country-house cosiness and quiet tailoring.
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 17 original designs includes dogtooth, gingham, tartan, windowpane check. Highlights from the edit include Skelton Gingham, Aveline Gingham, Chelmer Dogtooth.
Shown: Skelton Gingham Wallpaper in Emerald Gold.

Styling tips
- Mix scales: a large check on the walls with a small gingham on a cushion feels relaxed, not fussy.
- Use warm lamps rather than overhead light to make dark walls glow.
- Kitchens, boot rooms and children's rooms all suit checks.
How much will I need?
A typical hallway wall of about 5.0 m wide × 2.5 m high needs 10 drops. With a 26.5 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.
