Block Print Wallpaper

Block print wallpaper is a wall covering based on hand-carved wooden blocks stamped by hand. Giffywalls prints each design to your exact wall size, so it fits corner to corner.

Block Print Wallpaper for Australian Rooms

The look sits well in a warm climate. These dyes are earthy rather than sharp, so they read relaxed instead of formal. That suits the way most homes here are lived in. Open plan spaces take a small repeat especially well.

Strong Sun and Natural Dyes

Harsh light can flatten a pale print by the middle of the day. Deeper dyes hold up better. Indigo, madder red and ochre all keep their depth. Keep the palest designs off a west-facing wall, where the afternoon sun is hardest.

  • Entries: a small floral that reads as texture.
  • Powder rooms: a deep indigo across all four walls.
  • Bedrooms: a soft repeat behind the bedhead.
  • Butler's pantries: geometry beside open shelving.

Coastal and Hamptons Rooms

Indigo on cream is a natural fit for a coastal scheme. Add white panelling, jute and pale timber and it stays light. Our boho wallpaper range takes the same palette somewhere looser and warmer.

Queenslanders and Older Homes

High ceilings suit a trailing vine, since the eye can follow it up. Older walls are rarely flat, and that is no problem here. A busy small repeat hides bumps that a plain glossy paper would show up at once.

What to Pair With It

Rattan, cane, linen and pale timber all sit well beside these prints. Brass warms them up. Black frames sharpen them. Keep the furniture plain so the wall can lead. Our pattern wallpaper range shows how far the idea stretches.

Renting? Peel and Stick

Peel and stick is self-adhesive and lifts off clean. That makes it easy for renters in Sydney and Melbourne, and for short-stay places. Paste-the-wall is the better pick for a wall you own and plan to keep.

Scale and Viewing Distance

Judge scale by how far back you will stand, not by the size of the room. A tiny repeat seen from across an open plan space turns to noise. A bold motif in a small powder room looks deliberate rather than crowded.

Keeping It Modern

The look can tip into fussy. Keep the furniture plain and let the wall lead. One woven rug is enough. That contrast is what stops it reading like a costume.

Samples and Australia-Wide Delivery

Indigo is hard to judge on a screen. Order a sample and check it against your timber and your light. We have shipped these designs from Perth to Brisbane. Your custom-size print then ships free Australia wide, with numbered panels for a simple hang.

What is block print wallpaper?

It is wallpaper that recreates the look of hand-stamped textile printing. Motifs originally carved into wooden blocks and pressed onto cloth. The designs keep that handmade character, with softly inked edges and gentle variation, printed as a modern mural sized to your wall.

Which rooms suit block print patterns best?

Bedrooms love small sprig florals, dining rooms suit deep paisleys, and powder rooms carry the densest repeats beautifully. Hallways work well with light-ground designs. As a rule, the smaller the room, the bolder the block print you can get away with.

What styles are in this collection?

Expect buti sprig florals, climbing vines, mango paisleys, geometric jaali lattices, and indigo dabu-style motifs inspired by the printing traditions of Jaipur and Rajasthan. Some stay faithful to textile scale; others enlarge a single stamp into an oversized feature mural.

What colors and furniture pair well with block prints?

Natural materials are the shortcut: linen, jute, cane, terracotta, and warm wood. Indigo-and-white prints pair with warm whites and rattan; madder reds and ochres suit walnut furniture and spice-toned rooms. Keep the palette to two or three earthy tones.

Can block print wallpaper be sized to my wall and removed later?

Yes. Every design is printed to your exact measurements with the repeat scaled cleanly, and the peel and stick option is self-adhesive and removable. It lifts off without damaging paint, which makes it a safe pick for rentals.
