You can order a sample to see the colours and details in person before you decide.
Choosing Your Library Style and Colour
The colour of your books wallpaper sets the tone for the entire room. For a light, academic feel that complements modern or classic decor, consider neutral designs like our Cream Bookshelf Library Mural. These beige and neutral palettes create a calm, inviting atmosphere. For a more traditional, stately study or a dramatic living room, darker shades are an excellent choice. Deep tones like the Navy Bookshelf Library Mural or a charcoal design add depth and a sense of history to your walls.
Think about the existing elements in your space. Warmer, vintage-style book spines pair well with natural wood furniture and leather armchairs, while cooler tones like blue and black create a crisp look that works with metallic accents and contemporary furnishings. If you favour darker, more intimate interiors, explore our full black wallpaper collection for more inspiration on creating a cosy and focused environment.
Designing a Feature Wall with a Book Mural
A book mural is most effective when used as a feature or accent wall. This approach creates a strong focal point without overwhelming the space. Ideal locations include the wall behind a sofa in a living room, the main wall in a home office, or an alcove to create a dedicated reading corner. Using book wallpaper for walls in this way adds character and the illusion of depth, making the room feel more considered and personal. The large-scale, non-repeating nature of a mural is perfectly suited for this application.
Proper measurement is key to a perfect result. Since every mural is made to your exact dimensions, you need to measure the widest and tallest points of your wall. For a detailed guide on getting your dimensions right, our wallpaper calculator guide provides step-by-step instructions. This ensures your custom mural fits precisely, from ceiling to floor.
Library and Book Wallpaper: your questions
How do I know how much books wallpaper to order?
Because every mural is made to measure, you simply provide your wall's dimensions. Our online wall measuring calculator can help you confirm your order size.
Can I get a sample of your book mural wallpaper?
Yes, you can order a wallpaper sample of any design. This allows you to see the print quality, colours, and material in your own home and lighting conditions before committing to a full mural. It is a great way to ensure the design is perfect for your room.
