Which rooms suit black and purple wallpaper?

Black and purple wallpaper works best in rooms you use in the evening or light with lamps, such as bedrooms, home cinemas and dining rooms.

With bedroom murals, cover the wall behind the headboard. In cinema and gaming rooms, dark matte walls reduce screen glare. Hotels need commercial grade.

Bathrooms need care. Use a dry wall with good ventilation, and keep the wallpaper away from direct water, steam and heavy splashing.

Will black and purple wallpaper make a room look smaller?

No, not by default. Dark walls blur the corners, so the room feels closer and cosier while the floor area looks the same as before.

In rooms under about 120 square feet, paper one wall and keep the other three light. Larger rooms with high ceilings carry all four walls.

A paint expert quoted by Homes & Gardens warns strong purple with strong black absorbs a lot of light. Balance dark walls with pale floors.

How should you light a room with dark wallpaper?

Use several warm, low light sources instead of one ceiling light. Dark walls absorb light, so spread lamps around the room at different heights.

Light reflectance value runs from 0, which absorbs all light, to 100, which reflects all light. Black and deep purple sit near the bottom.

1. Fit warm white bulbs rated 2700K.
2. Use three or four light sources, such as wall lights, a floor lamp and a table lamp.
3. Choose a matte finish to cut glare.

Run the three-light test before you commit. Order an A4 sample, tape the print up, then check in morning light, evening light and lamplight.

Which wallpaper material should you choose?

Match the material to your room and wall. Peel and stick suits renters, non-woven suits living spaces, and commercial wallpaper suits busy business interiors.
