Dark & Moody Japanese-Inspired Wallpaper for Bathrooms
Japanese-inspired patterns – seigaiha waves, hemp-leaf geometry, cranes and fans – offer calm, balance and rhythm.
Well-ventilated bathrooms can absolutely be wallpapered. Use our Premium or Luxe paper with a suitable adhesive and avoid direct water contact zones.
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 flying crane, folding fan, hemp leaf, seigaiha wave. Highlights from the edit include Mallory Folding Fan, Crowther Folding Fan, Gifford Flying Crane.
Shown: Mallory Folding Fan Wallpaper in Midnight Navy.

Styling tips

- Small bathrooms and cloakrooms are perfect for bold pattern.
- Bedrooms and home offices benefit most from this restful style.
How much will I need?
A typical bathroom wall of about 2.4 m wide × 2.4 m high needs 5 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.
