Minimal Or OTT: 16 Best Wallpaper Design Ideas For Bedrooms & How To Style Them

The first step for doing any home makeover is self reflection. A home is simply an extension of you, so you need to decide what is the vibe you want to go with. The options are endless. You can decide to be minimal, extra, chic, bohemian, vintage, modern —need we say more? Once you’ve settled with the vibe, the next step is choosing a colour scheme. The colour of the wallpaper should always go with the grander scheme of things, that is the tone of the rest of your furniture. Here’s a useful tip — always pick a colour based on the amount of natural light you have in your bedroom. If you have huge floor-to-ceiling window walls or French windows, you can easily pick darker shades as then they won’t be so overwhelming or cramp up the space. For lesser light or a smaller room, lighter shades are a good idea.

The two most common terms you’re going to come by when shopping for wallpaper are ‘non-woven’ or ‘vinyl’. Non-woven wallpaper is made using plant and synthetic fibres, whereas the vinyl is made by recycled plastic. While non-woven is breathable and flexible, vinyl is slightly more durable to the extent that ‘it can take up a beating.’ Both are super easy to clean. Other than colour, design and material, wallpapers can also come in different textures like stone, marble, wooden, and brick. It’s the easiest way to add the depth of texture to your wall without actually changing it permanently. Now that you know (almost) everything, it’s time to dive into some options! Here we have picked a few recommendations from top Indian wallpaper brands and categorised them according to their vibe. Let’s begin!

Floral is a popular choice when it comes to wallpapers. It’s a great way to add a sort of innocent, cheerful vibe to your home. You can go both boldly floral, in a maximalist, popping fashion (this one works well for a highlight wall as well) or subtle. We have here a couple options for the subtly floral and artistic vibe that will look absolutely great on all walls. 

The Aves Of Blossom wallpaper by India Circus absolutely has our heart. The chosen tones of green with pops of pink flowers and orange birds give it a very serene feel. Green is a very soothing colour to have on walls, making it a trending choice. It’s floral without screaming floral, just the kind we like.

The Design River wallpaper by India Circus is an amalgamation of geometrical patterns and traditional designs, giving the floral patterns a modern and designer twist. You can pair it with white or wooden furniture to avoid making the room look too busy. 

We have to admit, we’re a little biassed towards this style. Vintage was a huge trend for 2023, like we had predicted earlier, and why wouldn’t it be? And if you’re looking to add a touch of vintage to your home, we have curated picks just for you.

Paper Plane Design is a literal lifesaver when it comes to wallpaper buying. They have massive variety, styles and offer the non-woven and self-adhesive vinyl options (that, like the name suggests, you can peel and stick yourselves). This wallpaper is inspired by traditional Moroccan art and mandala designs, and has a mystic, royal sort of feel about it. It’s a blend of beautiful blues and purples, making it a wonderful option for both a feature wall or a complete bedroom wallpaper. 

The ideal way to add a touch of rose red to your room without actually painting it all red, you’re going to love this one. Since this one is also a dramatic and bold choice, both in the design and colour, making it a highlight wall will be a good idea. Or if you have a more spacious room, then you can cover all the walls of your room with this vintage wallpaper, add a huge chandelier and give your entire room a more royal and kingly feel. If that's what you're trying to go for, you can use velvet and other rich textiles as the upholstery and beddings. 

Simplicity is a great quality, be it in your home or yourself! This wallpaper is the ‘poster boy’ of the neutral, subtle vibe as it’s in a light, tan beige colour and has intricate ethnic motifs in white. It’s simple, sober, and definitely a great choice for your bedroom. If you're going for a minimal vibe and don't want anything elaborate, you can definitely give this one a go. 

This design truly brings your mandala art book to life. The circular design is soothing to look at, full of colours and absolutely beautiful. Paper Plane Design again has non-woven and self adhesive options, so you can pick whatever suits you the best. 

This minimal wall mural has a very retro feel to it. The colours used aren’t very bold and tacky but subtle and soothing. It's a great way to add an elegant feel to your room.

Add a whole new dimension to your walls! If 2D wallpapers don't cut it for you, let's see what all options are there in the world of third dimension.

One for the old school people, this one teleports us to the Pride And Prejudice era or more recently, Bridgerton. This one is a classic, sober, timeless design that will probably never go out of style. It's also a good option to add to your otherwise all-white bedroom.
