Multicolour Chinoiserie Wallpaper for Hallways
Chinoiserie began in 18th-century Europe as an imaginative response to imported painted silks and porcelain. Branches, blossom and birds give walls a hand-painted, collected-over-time feel.
The hallway makes the first impression of your home. Pattern disguises scuffs and adds interest to a space you pass through many times a day.
Multicolour wallpaper is pure joy – a ready-made palette for the whole room.
Our edit of 12 original designs includes blossom branch, cherry bough, garden birds, songbird. Highlights from the edit include Rossiter Garden Birds, Rowan Songbird, Hendry Cherry Bough.
Shown: Rossiter Garden Birds Wallpaper in Nursery Pastel.

Styling tips
- Lacquer-red, celadon and gold accents suit chinoiserie, as do bamboo-effect furniture and blue-and-white ceramics.
- Pull two or three colours out for cushions, rugs and paint.
- Choose our scrubbable Premium paper for high-traffic areas.
- Run it all the way round a dining room or bedroom to create the immersive 'painted room' effect it was invented for.
How much will I need?
A typical hallway wall of about 5.0 m wide × 2.5 m high needs 10 drops. With a 64 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.
