The living room is where natural texture earns its keep — a wall you see every day, in every light. From fine grasscloth to warm cork, it's the broadest edit in the library.

For a living room, choose a natural fibre with enough texture to hold a large wall but a tone you live with easily — grasscloth, cork, hemp and paperweave in versatile mid-tones. Order $5 samples to test against your light and furnishings; everything ships free across Australia.

Choosing wallpaper for a living room

The living room is the most forgiving room to wallpaper and, to my mind, the most rewarding — it carries scale, takes both daylight and lamplight, and sets the tone for the whole home. It's also where you'll live with the choice longest, so I steer people toward fibres that wear their texture quietly.

What works

  • Versatile mid-tones — sand, oat, soft brown and muted green work with almost any palette.
  • Texture that reads across a large wall — grasscloth, cork and abaca hold a big space without busyness.
  • Feature wall or full wrap — a chimney breast or media wall is the easy start; a full wrap cocoons the room.

A note on light

A north-facing room warms a cool tone; a south-facing one cools a warm one. Order a few $5 samples and stand them against your sofa and curtains before you commit — it's the surest way to choose.

Living wallpaper questions

What's the best wallpaper for a living room?

A textured natural fibre in a versatile mid-tone — grasscloth, cork, hemp or paperweave. They bring warmth and depth to the room you use most, and suit both daylight and evening lamplight.

Grasscloth or cork for a living room?

Both work beautifully. Grasscloth gives a classic woven texture; cork adds warmth, depth and a little acoustic softening. Order a sample of each and see them in your own light.

Can I use natural wallpaper on a feature wall?

Yes — a chimney breast or media wall is a popular way to introduce texture. Use the coverage calculator on any product page for an instant estimate.
