Dark Academia Wallpaper for Living Rooms
For a dark academia living room, use arts & crafts, damask wallpaper – we have 88 designs suggested for living rooms. Leather, worn timber and brass suit the look. Measure each wall separately and include alcoves; our calculator adds the pattern repeat for you.
The living room is where most people start with wallpaper. A feature wall behind the sofa or across the chimney breast gives an instant focal point without overwhelming the space.

Questions & answers
How do I create a dark academia living room?
Library-inspired rooms with deep greens and browns, damasks, heritage florals and plenty of books. Use warm lamps and picture lights rather than a bright overhead light. Ideal for studies, snugs and dining rooms.
How many rolls do I need?
A typical 4.2 × 2.4 m wall needs 3 rolls at a 53 cm repeat.
