Dark & Moody Mid-Century Wallpaper
Mid-century motifs – atomic stars, boomerangs and pebbles – capture the optimism of 1950s design.
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 12 original designs includes atomic star, boomerang, pebble. Highlights from the edit include Wolsey Boomerang, Garrick Boomerang, Elowen Pebble.
Shown: Wolsey Boomerang Wallpaper in Midnight Navy.

Styling tips
- Teak furniture, mustard and teal accents and globe lighting complete the look.
- Use warm lamps rather than overhead light to make dark walls glow.
- Use on a single living-room wall behind a sideboard for maximum retro impact.
How much will I need?
A typical home office wall of about 3.0 m wide × 2.4 m high needs 6 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.

Frequently asked questions

Teak furniture, mustard and teal accents and globe lighting complete the look. Use warm lamps rather than overhead light to make dark walls glow.
Can I see the wallpaper on my own wall before buying?
Yes. In Design Your Own, take or upload a photo of your wall, drag the four corners into place and we will render the pattern onto your wall in perspective.
Can I change the colours of a design?
Yes – open any design in our Design Your Own tool to change colours, scale and layout, then order it made to measure for your wall.
How many rolls of wallpaper do I need?
Measure the width of each wall and the height from skirting to ceiling. Our rolls are 52 cm wide and 10 m long. Use the roll calculator on every product page – it accounts for the pattern repeat and recommends one spare roll.
