Dark & Moody Japanese-Inspired Wallpaper
Japanese-inspired patterns – seigaiha waves, hemp-leaf geometry, cranes and fans – offer calm, balance and rhythm.
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 20 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.

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
