Textured Wallpaper

Discover the Beauty of Wallpaper Texture

When it comes to interiors, flat just doesn’t cut it anymore. The rise of wallpaper texture in design is all about adding depth, movement, and character to a room in a way that paint simply can’t. Whether subtle or bold, textured wallpapers invite the eye to linger and the hand to reach out.
 
At Stories For Walls, we believe texture should be seen and felt. You can add real texture to any of our designs by choosing our beautiful linen material. Many of our wallpaper designs look fantastic on linen and help to transform your space into something extraordinary.


Why Choose Texture Wallpaper For Your Space?

Choosing textured wallpaper isn’t just a stylistic decision; it’s a way to enhance how a space feels. These wallpapers introduce a raised surface that plays with light, disguises imperfections, and builds atmosphere from the wall outward. While smooth designs serve a purpose, textured finishes give you the ability to create mood and dimension without adding clutter or structural changes.

There are many reasons to incorporate textured wallpaper patterns into your home or workspace:

  • Depth and Interest: Patterns and surfaces catch the light differently, creating subtle highlights and shadows throughout the day. This added dimension can make a space feel warm, moody, or expansive, depending on how you style it.
  • Surface That Speaks: From soft linen-inspired patterns to dramatic geometric ridges, textured wallpapers bring a tactile element into play that engages more than just the eyes.
  • Conceal and Complement: Textured wallpaper is an easy way to hide minor wall imperfections, while still offering a polished, design-forward result.
  • Endless Variety: With a huge range of wallpapers ranging from classic to contemporary, there’s a texture to suit every personality and room design.


Explore the Impact of Wallpaper Textured Finishes

Let’s talk about impact. A wallpaper textured surface can be quiet and sophisticated, or loud and unmissable. It all depends on the material and design. Whether you're aiming to soften a bedroom or energise a living space, texture gives you options.

Textured Patterned Wallpaper

These designs combine surface detail with beautiful patterns, offering the best of both worlds. Our textured patterned wallpaper options vary from soft florals to statement-making stripes, each adding dimension without overpowering the room.

Raised Wallpaper

With visibly elevated prints and tactile finishes, raised wallpaper brings a bold, three-dimensional feel to your walls. It’s perfect for feature walls or rooms that need a bit more visual weight and presence.

Wood Grain and Bamboo Textures

Bring nature indoors with wallpapers inspired by wood grain and bamboo. These finishes create a natural, grounded effect while still being sophisticated and clean.

Coloured Textured Wallpaper

Adding colour and texture in one go, coloured textured wallpaper gives you control over mood and tone. Think rich brown, warm gold, or calming blue, all textured for a layered look.

Embossed Wallpapers

Elegant and timeless, embossed wallpapers offer subtle refinement. Their classic look makes them a beautiful option for traditional homes or rooms where you want quiet luxury.

Vinyl Textures

Looking for function and form? Vinyl textured wallpapers are ideal for high-moisture or high-traffic areas. This makes them perfect for kitchens and especially as textured bathroom wallpaper, where practicality meets style.

Where Textured Wallpaper Works Best

Textured wallpaper is incredibly adaptable. You can use it to completely transform a space or simply elevate an existing room’s aesthetic.

  • Bedrooms: Add warmth and softness to your sleeping space with a textured wallpaper bedroom feature wall. Gentle beige tones and woven finishes create a serene, cocooning atmosphere.
  • Bathrooms and Laundries: Choose moisture-friendly finishes for areas that need durability. A soft stone-textured wallpaper adds elegance in an often-overlooked room.
  • Living Rooms and Lounges: Go bold with textures that mimic plaster or brushed metallics. A statement texture can anchor the space and set the tone for your entire interior.
  • Hallways and Entrances: Add instant drama where you walk in. A silver geometric texture or soft paint-like effect offers impact without overwhelming.


Designing with Different Types of Textured Wallpaper

Need help getting started? Here are some quick ideas to help you design with confidence:

  • Balance Texture and Light: Lighter colours with texture can help reflect light, opening up smaller spaces, while darker hues create intimacy and mood.
  • Use Texture to Define Zones: In open-plan spaces, textured walls can define specific areas, like dining or reading nooks, without building new walls.
  • Play With Colour and Texture: Pair cool shades like blue or silver with woven or stone-like finishes for an airy feel, or embrace rich brown, gold, or beige for cosy depth.
  • Highlight with Lighting: Use side lighting or directional lights to highlight the wallpaper texture and emphasise its sculptural quality.


Try It Yourself With Samples

Still deciding between designs? No problem. We recommend starting with samples so you can feel the surface, view it in natural and artificial lighting, and ensure it works with your palette and furnishings. Whether you’re drawn to earthy, timeless finishes or a more modern textured wallpaper aesthetic, seeing the real material makes all the difference.

Our wallpapers are thoughtfully crafted for easy application. Most come in paste-the-wall or traditional paper formats, making them a seamless addition to any home project, no professional installation required.
