Contemporary Wallpaper

Our collection of contemporary wallpaper offers a fresh approach to interior design. You will find a wide range of designs, from minimal textures to bold animal prints and large scale florals. Every mural is printed to the exact size of your wall, ensuring a perfect fit with no difficult calculations. To see the colours and quality for yourself, you can order a wallpaper sample before you commit to a full mural. This ensures your final choice is one you will love.

Choosing the Right Contemporary Motif

Contemporary wallpaper designs often play with scale and abstraction to create a focal point. For smaller rooms or walls with furniture, a design with a contained pattern like our Black Damask Mural can add depth without overwhelming the area. The repeating motif provides structure and a modern take on a classic style. For larger, uninterrupted walls, a large scale floral or an expansive cityscape can produce a powerful effect. These contemporary wallpaper murals act as a piece of art, drawing the eye and setting the tone for the entire room.

Consider the existing elements in your room. The key is to balance the visual weight of the wallpaper with the other components of your interior design scheme.

Pairing Colours in Contemporary Design

The colour palette is fundamental to achieving a contemporary look. A dark wallpaper, for instance, can create a cosy and enveloping atmosphere in a bedroom or study, especially when paired with metallic lighting and soft textiles.

When selecting a colour, think about the light in your room. North facing rooms with cooler light can benefit from warmer colours, while south facing rooms can handle cooler tones like blue and grey. Remember that you can order a sample to test the colours in your own home's lighting conditions throughout the day. This helps ensure the final result matches your vision perfectly and complements your existing furniture and paintwork.

Measuring and Installing Your Mural

A precise fit is essential for a professional finish, especially with large scale contempo wallpaper designs. Because every Casavono mural is printed to your wall's exact dimensions, accurate measurements are the first step. You will need to measure the total width and height of your wall in inches or centimetres, from corner to corner. For walls with slopes or obstacles like doors and windows, measure the widest and tallest points. Our online wall measuring calculator can guide you through this process.

Once your custom sized mural arrives, it will be in panels with pre-trimmed edges, ready for installation. We offer three paper types to suit different preferences: Non-Pasted, Pre-Pasted, and a self-adhesive Peel and Stick option. For detailed instructions on achieving a seamless result, we recommend consulting our guide on how to hang a wall mural before you begin your project.

Contemporary Wallpaper: your questions

What makes a wallpaper design contemporary?

Contemporary wallpaper designs are defined by current trends rather than a specific historical period. They often feature bold graphic prints, large scale florals, abstract patterns, or modern interpretations of classic motifs like damask. The focus is on fresh, clean lines and impactful colour palettes that suit modern interiors.

Can I get a sample of a contemporary wallpaper?

Yes, you can order a sample of any design to see how the colours and pattern scale will look in your home. This allows you to check it against your lighting, furniture, and paint colours before committing to a full wall mural, ensuring the final choice is perfect for your room.

Is contemporary wallpaper suitable for a bathroom?

Good airflow is important to manage moisture. Our papers are PVC-free and printed with GreenGuard certified inks, and their high light fastness rating ensures the colours resist fading over time.

How do I know how much wallpaper to order?

You do not need to calculate rolls. All our murals are made to measure. Simply provide the height and width of your wall, and we will print your mural to those exact dimensions. Use our wallpaper calculator to confirm your measurements.
