Living room wallpaper is a printed wall covering for a home's main living space. It works on one feature wall, all four walls, or the zone behind a TV. This range spans modern, floral, geometric, abstract, textured, and nature looks. Every design is custom sized to your wall, so the pattern lines up with no guesswork.
The prints suit compact apartment lounge rooms and large open plan homes alike. They sit well with timber sideboards, linen lounges, and rattan chairs. Renters can choose the peel and stick option and lift it off later with no wall damage. Giffywalls specialises in custom sized peel and stick wallpapers and large scale murals, providing made to measure wall coverings for residential and commercial spaces.
Living Room Wallpaper That Fits Real Aussie Rooms
Most Aussie lounge rooms are open and full of natural light. A bold print on one wall gives the space a clear focal point. A softer design across every wall makes a smaller room feel calm. Homes in Sydney and Melbourne often run open plan. A feature wall also helps zone the lounge from the dining area. We have shipped these designs to renters and owners across Brisbane and Perth. The popular living room wallpaper pick is abstract design behind the main lounge. Nature scenes and textured looks work well in calmer north facing rooms.
Modern living room mural styles for open plan homes
A large wall mural reads best from a distance, so open plan rooms are ideal. Pick a calm palette if the lounge already has busy furniture. Save the high contrast prints for a single accent wall.
Quick guide: where each look works best
- Feature wall behind the lounge suits bold abstract, geometric, or graffiti styles.
- Behind the TV suits dark or textured prints that play down cables.
- A full small lounge suits soft, light, low contrast patterns.
- An alcove or chimney breast suits a single framed scene or nature mural.
Feature Wall Ideas for a Modern Lounge Room
A feature wall is the fast way to add character without a full repaint. Put the boldest design on the wall you see first when you walk in. In most homes that is the wall behind the main lounge or the TV. Keep the other three walls plain so the eye has a place to rest. A bold geometric accent wall pairs well with a neutral linen lounge. For a warmer scheme, a nature mural works with timber and rattan. Adelaide and Canberra buyers often choose earthy colour tones for cooler light.
Accent wall wallpaper for the space behind a TV
The wall behind a TV suits a darker or textured design. It frames the screen and plays down cables and the media unit. Avoid busy patterns right next to the screen, as they fight for attention.
Where to Place a Statement Wall at Home
Room size and light direction guide where a print works best. In a small lounge, one accent wall keeps the space open and airy. In a large open plan home, a large scale mural can anchor the seating zone. North facing rooms get warm light, so cooler greys and greens stay balanced. South facing rooms suit warmer tones to lift the mood. Strong living room wallpaper works hardest when it suits the natural light. Keep the design clear of tall shelving and large artwork.
Statement wallpaper for lounge rooms with high ceilings
High ceilings suit a large scale mural or a tall vertical pattern. The extra height lets the design breathe without feeling busy.
Peel and Stick or Paste the Wall Options
Both options give the same finished look on the wall. Peel and stick is self adhesive and removable, so it suits renters and quick refreshes. It lifts off cleanly at the end of a lease with no bond risk. Paste the wall is a longer term choice for a home you own. A customised wall mural is printed to your exact measurements either way. Light marks wipe off with a soft, damp cloth. If you want how we hang each design, the steps are short and clear. In humid coastal homes, let the wall dry fully before you hang it.
Removable living room wallpaper for renters
A removable design means you can update a rental without losing your bond. It also moves with you to the next place.
Styling a Lounge for a New Home or Refresh
A new build or a fresh move in is the easy moment to redo the lounge. A single design sets the tone before the furniture even arrives. Many buyers refresh the main room before summer for guests and alfresco evenings. For more lounge styling ideas, read the inspiration hub. Others update one wall when a rental needs a low cost lift. A bold living room wallpaper print marks a clear before and after for a tired room. Pick the look first, then match the lounge, rug, and cushions to it.
Choosing the Right Look for Your Lounge
The right print depends on room size, light, and the furniture you own. A bold accent wall suits open plan homes and high ceilings. Soft, light patterns keep a small lounge feeling calm. Renters get a clean, removable finish with the self adhesive option. The full living room wallpaper range covers calm nature scenes through to bold graphic prints. Match the look to your timber tones, lounge fabric, and flooring for a pulled together room. Free and fast shipping is included on every custom order across Australia.

What is the best wall for living room wallpaper?
The wall behind the sofa or the fireplace works best as a feature wall. These walls already draw the eye, so the pattern lands where people naturally look. In open floor plans, use one papered wall to define the seating zone.
How do I pick a wallpaper color for a living room?
Start with your sofa and floor tones, then choose a shade that sits with them. Gray, navy, sage, and warm gold remain reliable, flexible picks. Lighter colors open up small rooms, while moody tones add depth to larger spaces.
Is peel and stick wallpaper good for a living room?
Yes, peel and stick is a solid choice for renters and quick updates. It applies without paste and lifts off cleanly later. For a high traffic family room you keep long term, paste the wall is the sturdier option.
Can I put a wall mural behind my TV?
You can, and it often looks sharp. Pick a darker or low contrast scene so the screen blends in rather than fights the art. Mount the TV first, then fit the mural around it for a clean finish.
How do I clean living room wallpaper?
Wipe light marks with a soft, damp cloth and a little mild soap. Do not soak the surface or scrub hard. Test a hidden corner first, then work gently from the top of the wall down.
Does a feature wall make a small living room look smaller?
No, a single feature wall usually adds depth rather than shrinking the room. Keep the other walls calm and the pattern stays an accent. Vertical designs can even make a low room feel taller.
What wallpaper style suits a modern living room?
Modern rooms favor clean lines, fine geometrics, subtle stripes, and plaster or textured effects. Pair these with low furniture and natural wood for a current look that ages well.
