How to Pick a Neutral Wallpaper That Isn’T Boring

There are plenty of myths about wallpaper, but neutral and boring isn’t one of them. Neutral wallpapers can really transform a space with subtle color, texture and touch. Here are some tips to choose a winner. 

Go Japandi

Japandi is what some might call a hybrid mix of Japanese and Scandinavian styles. It blends the smooth, modern lines of Scandinavian design with the sleek, functional, elegance of the Japanese aesthetic. It is minimalist yet welcoming, and is all about using neutral tones, lots of textures and natural materials. You can add Japandi to your walls by choosing a wallpaper that incorporates these minimalist elements. Check out some examples here.

Brilliant Beige

Beige isn’t always boring. Neutral wallpapers in patterns like cane, weavework and stripes can jazz up a space in shades of taupe, grey, butter or blue. The great thing about wallpaper is that subtle pattern and color combined can create a lovely neutral backdrop.  

The Textured Touch

Want a neutral color and vibe, but still add an elevated touch? Look for something that has a little bit of texture to it like grasscloth, basket-weave, or anaglypta. Here are some of our favorite examples.

Peel-N-Stick, No Commit!

Not sure about wallpaper? Dip your toe in this trend with a neutral peel-n-stick. There are so many options to experiment with and sourcing is a cinch from high end designers to big box retailers. There truly is a peel-n-stick for everyone’s taste.
