Velvet Wallpaper

Velvet wallpaper is a wall covering printed to look like soft, deep-pile fabric. You get the shading and the rich colour of velvet in a flat finish. Giffywalls prints each design to your exact wall size.

Velvet Wallpaper in Australian Homes

Our light is bright and hard for most of the day. A deep, soft wall gives the eye somewhere to rest. Rich tones also hold up in strong sun, where pale pastels can bleach out by midday. The look is at its best after dark, so it suits a bedroom, a dining area or a media room more than a sunny kitchen.

  • Bedrooms: a deep shade behind the bed.
  • Dining areas: rich colour under evening lights.
  • Powder rooms: wrap all four walls.
  • Media rooms: a soft, dark wall that cuts glare.

Plain, Panel or Pattern

There are three routes. A plain finish reads as pure texture and lets your furniture lead. A panel design draws soft rectangles on the wall, which suits a formal dining area or a headboard wall. A patterned version lays a damask or a floral over the velvet ground, and that is the boldest of the three.

Colours That Work

Emerald and forest green feel classic. Navy is calm. Plum and burgundy feel warm. Charcoal is the sharpest. Blush, camel and soft gold are the gentler options for a room that still needs to feel light. Go one shade deeper than feels safe, as these tones lose depth on a big wall.

Light Is Half the Job

Warm, low light brings out the shading. Lamps and wall lights do it best. A single bright downlight flattens the whole effect. Add a lamp before you choose the deepest shade. Our luxurious wallpaper range covers more of this mood, and the textured wallpaper collection has quieter finishes with similar depth.

Peel and Stick or Paste the Wall

Most designs come both ways. Peel and stick is self-adhesive and removable, which suits renters in Sydney and Melbourne, like the rest of our removable wallpaper options. Paste the wall suits a feature wall you plan to keep for years.

Samples and Australia-Wide Delivery

Deep colours shift more than any others on a screen. Order a sample first. Check it at night under your own lamps, not just in daylight. A soft, shaded print is also kind to a rough or rendered wall, as it hides small bumps. We print to your measurements, and samples ship Australia wide.

Which materials is best for wallpaper?

Wallpapers are made from standard paper, canvas paper, premium paper, peel and stick materials for durability and style.

Is velvet wallpaper actually made of fabric?

These murals are printed velvet effects. They capture the crushed pile, sheen, and depth of real velvet on a smooth, durable surface. You get the plush look without the dust, fading, and upkeep that true fabric walls demand.

What rooms suit velvet wallpaper best?

Evening rooms shine: dining rooms, bedrooms, home bars, and media rooms all flatter the deep, light-absorbing look. Powder rooms are a favorite designer choice too, since a small space concentrates the drama beautifully.

What colors work best for a velvet-look wall?

Jewel tones do velvet justice. Emerald, sapphire, aubergine, oxblood, forest, and charcoal. Style them with brass, walnut, and cream textiles for contrast, and keep floors and ceilings light so the room stays balanced.

Will a dark velvet mural make my room feel small?

Not if you use it as a single feature wall with lighter surfaces around it. Dark, rich walls add depth and pull the eye, which can actually make a room read more layered and intentional rather than smaller.

Can I get velvet wallpaper sized to my wall?

Yes. Enter your wall's width and height and we print the mural to fit exactly as one continuous design. Peel and stick and paste-the-wall finishes are both available, with numbered panels and free shipping.
