2. B&Q loves: Curved geometric patterns
Curved patterns are having a moment in the world of interior design. They add a touch of softness and organic flow to modern spaces.

3. Think outside the box: wallpaper one half of the wall
Want to create a bold statement in your bedroom? Try wallpapering just one half of the wall! This technique works particularly well when you have a cantered window. Choose a wallpaper with a strong pattern or contrasting colour to make the feature pop. We love the look of this bold yellow wall against the playful blue wallpaper decorated with bountiful oranges and lemons. This wallpaper is sure to brighten up your space.

Think calming dusky pink hues for ultimate relaxation, with pops of green and teal to set the scene. Plus, it's the perfect excuse to bring in some seriously epic plant life and complete your indoor jungle vibes.
5. Get the panelled look
If you love the look of wall panelling, but don’t have the time or tools to do it yourself… why not hang wall panel effect wallpaper? This stunning grey panelled wallpaper delivers the same rich character and depth for a fraction of the effort.

The design evokes the spirit of William Morris, the renowned artist whose iconic floral patterns continue to inspire generations.
8. Invite serenity with a lake wall mural
Transform your bedroom into a soothing escape with an enchanting wall mural. Lush trees and vibrant foliage border the scene, their leaves bursting with gentle dabs of pale blue, lilac, and soft yellow. This watercolour effect lake wall mural isn't just a decoration; it's a window into a world of serenity. The calming water, the graceful birds, and the soft palette evoke a sense of peace and tranquility.

Liven up your bedroom with some retro flair! Lick's curated collection of wallpaper designs boasts real artisan style, and their painted stripes wallpaper is a perfect example. This bold green and white striped pattern adds a dash of energy to your space, while the clean lines keep things feeling classic. Bonus perk: the vertical stripes can create the illusion of extra height, making your room feel more spacious. So, ditch the boring walls and give your bedroom a refresh with statement striped wallpaper.
10. Keep it simple with a delicate wallpaper pattern
Forgo the bold and embrace the beauty of simplicity with a delicate wallpaper pattern. This isn't about loud statements – it's about creating a haven of peace in your bedroom. In shades of muted green and cream, this delicate leaf print wallpaper creates a space where you can walk in, shut the door, and breathe a deep sigh of relief at the end of a long day.
11. Embrace the rustic appeal of wood effect wallpaper
Craving a cosy escape after a hectic day? Ditch the sterile walls and bring the warmth of a rustic cabin into your bedroom with wood effect wallpaper. Imagine yourself sinking into bed, surrounded by the rich, textured feel of wood panelling. Forget the stressors of everyday life; with wood effect wallpaper, your bedroom becomes a tranquil retreat, channelling the charm of a cosy ski chalet.
12. Brighten your bedroom with colourful florals
Ditch the boring beige and inject some serious flower power into your bedroom design! We're talking eye-catching, multi-coloured print wallpaper. This isn't your grandma's floral pattern – it's a bold statement piece guaranteed to wake you up and fuel your creativity every morning.

13. Elevate your space with industrial charm
Add a touch of rustic charm to your bedroom with our GoodHome Nivosa teal plaster effect wallpaper. This gem, straight from our 1920s capsule collection, boasts a realistic and rugged concrete effect that brings instant character into any space. This unique colour palette adds depth and a touch of unexpected warmth to the industrial-inspired concrete design.

Bring some je ne sais quoi to your bedroom design with simple yet luxurious wallpaper. This gorgeous dark blue wallpaper features a delicate geometric design set upon embossed paper with golden metallic detailing, adding a touch of understated luxury.
15. Breathe new life into your bedroom with glitter effect wallpaper
Dreaming of a room refresh that's both sophisticated and uplifting? Look no further than glitter effect wallpaper. We love this design - featuring a delightful pattern of trees, their silhouettes rendered in a warm, inviting beige. But the magic doesn't stop there – delicate flecks of glitter shimmer throughout the design. Glitter effect wallpaper is the perfect way to elevate your bedroom without going overboard. Think grown-up glam with a twinkle.
16. Blast from the past: Retro geometric print wallpaper
Feeling stuck in a décor rut? Ditch the predictable florals and generic stripes and embrace the fun and funky side with retro geometric wallpaper. With a colour palette comprising shades of warming neutrals, teal, yellow and orange – this funky retro wallpaper is set to make a statement in your bedroom.
17. B&Q loves: Brick effect wallpaper
Breathe new life into your boring walls with the charm of brick effect wallpaper. Create a modern industrial vibe with greys and blacks, or a rustic farmhouse feel with red. It’s worth bearing in mind that brick walls can visually shrink a space. So, if your room is on the smaller side, using brick wallpaper on all four walls might overwhelm the space. Instead, we suggest wallpapering just one wall to create a rustic brick feature wall.
18. Add instant drama with black crocodile print wallpaper
Add a touch of rock and roll glamour to your bedroom with crocodile skin pattern wallpaper. Dark and dramatic, this black crocodile textured wallpaper is the perfect choice for anyone who wants to create a space that's both luxurious and eccentric. The textured finish adds an extra layer of depth. It's subtle enough not to overwhelm but daring enough to create a lasting impact.
19. Embrace timeless tradition with damask wallpaper
Feeling the itch to ditch the fleeting trends and dive headfirst into timeless design? Then dust off your love for all things Victorian, because damask wallpaper is back and better than ever. Inspired by nostalgia, this stunning teal blue damask wallpaper is bursting with pattern. With motifs of tweeting birds intertwined with blooming leaves and florals, it's the perfect choice for anyone who wants to create a space that feels both sophisticated and peaceful.
20. Hang ombre wallpaper for a dreamy bedroom retreat
Foster a calm and serene feel in your bedroom with ombre effect wallpaper. This beautiful foggy forest mural creates an ethereal atmosphere. The ombre effect adds a touch of visual intrigue, while the watercolour style keeps things soft and dreamy. It's the perfect backdrop for anyone who wants to design a bedroom that feels like a gentle hug at the end of a long day.
