Perfectly patterned

Miles of styles

Resene wallpaper is surging in popularity as homeowners seek a simple, cost-effective way to create rooms that have impact, variety and interest. With a drop of wallpaper you can transform your space into an art deco sitting room, a soothing spa retreat or a Regency-style parlour. You don’t have to cover everything. Create a feature wall in a bold pattern then pick out a colour to inspire your Resene paint colour for the rest of the room or use just a couple of wallpaper drops to create a cosy reading corner or a backdrop for a bed or favourite piece of furniture.

Transformative powers

Transform a dark room or hallway by using a wallpaper with some sheen, or a metallic design, which will help bounce light around. Heavily textured wallpapers often absorb more light and make the space seem cosier. On the other hand, Resene Anaglypta (paintable textured) wallpapers, other heavily textured styles and bold floral designs are good at disguising any dents, bumps and scrapes on an imperfect wall.

Anaglyptas are also handy if finding a colour match for the rest of your room is proving a challenge. Anaglypta wallpapers come in a huge range of patterns from mid-century modern geometric to organic shapes and florals. Then you can paint them in any Resene colour using Resene SpaceCote Low Sheen for a luxe look to work with your palette.

Wallpaper can change the apparent dimensions of a room. Small patterns will make the room look larger. Large patterns make a space feel smaller and more intimate. Stripes and vertical patterns make walls appear taller, whereas horizontal patterns make a wall appear longer. Layered patterns and trellis-like designs give flat walls more depth. Wallpapers are a fun way to enrich children’s bedrooms. Add a galaxy of stars to the walls or try the simple whimsy of an animal pattern.

Resene Wallpaper Collections:

Off the wall

Wallpaper and wallpaper off-cuts can be used for other projects too – use to cover the stair risers on a staircase, on drawer fronts, frame as an artwork, paste around a basic light shade frame, glue to a corkboard for a fun memo board, or combine with your favourite Resene paint colours for an extra burst of colour and design.
