Wabi-Sabi Wallpaper for Living Rooms
For a wabi-sabi living room, use grasscloth & texture, abstract, japanese-inspired wallpaper – we have 47 designs suggested for living rooms. Handmade ceramics and raw linen 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 wabi-sabi living room?
Imperfect, natural and quiet – watercolour washes, texture effects and muted earth tones. Choose papers with visible brushwork or texture effects. Keep clutter minimal so texture can be appreciated.

A typical 4.2 × 2.4 m wall needs 3 rolls at a 53 cm repeat.
