Dark & Moody Wallpaper for Nurseries & Kids’ Rooms
Children's rooms suit gentle, playful prints. Our inks are water-based and our papers are low-VOC, so they are a lovely choice for nurseries.
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 78 original designs includes blooms, candy stripe, confetti, ditsy floral, dogtooth, dot stripe and more. Highlights from the edit include Skelton Gingham, Hadley Blooms, Aveline Gingham.
Shown: Skelton Gingham Wallpaper in Emerald Gold.

Styling tips
- Use warm lamps rather than overhead light to make dark walls glow.
- Pick a design with a sophisticated palette that can grow with your child.
How much will I need?
A typical nursery & kids wall of about 3.2 m wide × 2.4 m high needs 7 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.
