What Are Wallpaper Styles?
Wallpaper styles are groups of designs that share the same look, such as coastal, modern, botanical, Art Deco or boho. Shopping by style lets you start with the feel you want in a room. Then you pick a design that fits. Giffywalls specialises in custom-sized peel-and-stick wallpapers and large-scale murals, providing made-to-measure wall coverings for residential and commercial spaces.
Every style in this range is printed to your exact wall size. Pick a style, enter your wall width and height in centimetres, and we print the design to fit. You can choose peel and stick or a classic paste-the-wall paper. We also offer free and fast shipping Australia wide.
How to Choose Between Wallpaper Styles in 3 Steps
- Pick the mood first. Should the room feel calm, relaxed or bold? The mood alone rules out half the styles.
- Check the light and size of the room. Bright, small rooms suit light, simple prints. Large rooms and feature walls can take big murals and deep colours.
- Match one colour. Pick a style that shares one shade with your sofa, bed linen or floorboards. That way the wall looks planned, not added.

FAQs
Which materials is best for wallpaper?
Wallpapers are made from standard paper, canvas paper, premium paper, peel and stick materials for durability and style.

What does "wallpaper by style" mean?
It means browsing wallpaper grouped by look, like modern, vintage, floral or geometric, instead of by color or room. It's the quickest route if you know the mood you want but not the exact design.
What are the most popular wallpaper styles right now?
Maximalist pattern, dark academia, cottagecore florals, Japandi-style minimalism and Art Deco are among the most popular wallpaper styles right now. Large nature murals, such as forests and tropical leaves, are also a popular choice.
What wallpaper style is timeless?
Botanical prints, damask, toile and simple stripes are timeless wallpaper styles that rarely look dated. For a wall that will outlast several redecorations, choose one of these styles in a muted color.
What is the difference between modern and traditional wallpaper?
Modern wallpaper uses clean lines, open space and soft or neutral colors, as seen in Scandinavian and minimalist designs. Traditional wallpaper uses ornate, detailed repeats such as damask, toile and Victorian florals, usually in richer colors.
How do I choose the right wallpaper style for my home?
Start with the room mood, your existing furniture colors, and how busy you want the wall to feel. Soft florals suit bedrooms, geometric prints lift hallways, and bold murals work behind sofas or beds. Match the style to what already lives in the room.
What style of wallpaper works best in small rooms?
Light backgrounds with simple pattern, like Scandinavian geometrics, soft florals or pale botanicals, keep a small room feeling open. Vertical stripes add height. Dark, heavy styles can work too, but they make the room feel cozier rather than bigger.
Can I mix two wallpaper styles in one room?
Yes. Keep one style as the feature wall and use a quieter one, like a texture or small repeat, on the other walls. Linking them through a shared color makes the pairing look intentional.
What is the difference between mural wallpaper and standard patterned wallpaper?
A wall mural is one large image that spans the whole wall, like a forest or city scene. Patterned wallpaper repeats a smaller design across the wall. Most styles in this collection come in both formats.
Can I get peel and stick wallpaper in any style?
Most styles are available in peel and stick, including modern, vintage, floral, mural and textured designs. It suits renters and anyone who changes their decor often, because it removes without paste.
Is custom sized wallpaper available in every style?
Yes. Every Giffywalls design is printed to order, so you enter your wall's width and height and the wallpaper or mural is printed to those measurements.
