When it comes to personalizing your home, the choice between wallpaper and paint is one of the most important design decisions you’ll make. Each has its unique benefits, and choosing the right option can help you achieve your vision with style and ease.

Why Wallpaper?

Wallpaper has seen a major resurgence in recent years – and for good reason! It’s no longer just the florals and damasks of yesteryear (although those styles still have a place). Today’s wallpaper designs offer everything from sleek, minimalist textures to bold, modern graphics. With wallpaper, you can:

• Add texture and depth: Whether it’s a subtle grasscloth or a dramatic metallic print, wallpaper adds dimension to your walls that paint just can’t match.
• Make a statement: Want to create a show-stopping feature wall? Wallpaper is the perfect choice for adding personality and visual interest to your space.
• Long-lasting durability: High-quality wallpapers can last up to 15 years – much longer than a standard paint job.

Why Paint?

Which Is Best for You?

The answer depends on your priorities. If you’re after a timeless, textured backdrop or a statement-making focal point, wallpaper might be the way to go. If you prefer versatility and the ability to refresh your space whenever the mood strikes, paint could be your best friend. Consider the feel you want to create in your home. For cozy, nature-inspired rooms, a calming Japandi or modern neutral wallpaper might bring your vision to life. For quick updates and endless color experimentation, paint can keep things fresh and fun.

If you're dreaming of a bedroom that feels both elegant and grounded, this space might just be your next design inspiration. With deep olive tones and a graceful damask pattern, the Thunderous Green wallpaper featured in this moodboard offers just the right mix of drama and sophistication—without ever feeling fussy.

The Thunderous Green Damask pattern is part of my Inked Impressions collection—designed to marry traditional elegance with a soft, hand-painted aesthetic. This wallpaper features a classic damask motif reimagined with organic edges and subtle brushstroke textures, giving it a modern, lived-in feel that feels right at home in both historic and contemporary spaces. 

Available in multiple colorways, it’s perfect for accent walls, full-room installations, or anywhere you want to introduce timeless charm with a modern twist.

How to Style Dark Damask Wallpaper in a Bedroom

Play with texture.
Think breezy white sheers, a soft neutral rug underfoot, and inviting layers of cotton, linen, or boucle for pillows and throws. Texture gives your space dimension and helps the wallpaper feel like part of a cozy, lived-in whole—not just a bold design choice.

Add contrast through shapes and finishes.
The organic chair silhouette and soft green throw pillow echo the wallpaper’s natural curves. Meanwhile, the geometric lighting and framed lanterns add a modern counterpoint—proof that traditional prints can play beautifully in updated interiors.

Use the wallpaper strategically.
We recommend placing this design as a feature wall behind your bed to draw focus and anchor the space. You could also use it on the upper half of the room, paired with a crisp white or soft neutral below the chair rail for a classic look that feels elevated but easy.

More Than Just a Pretty Wall

This wallpaper is available in multiple finishes—removable peel & stick, grasscloth, traditional pasted, vinyl, and metallic—making it a flexible option for just about any space. Whether you're designing a master retreat, a welcoming guest room, or updating a vacation rental, it's a look that feels just as beautiful in person as it does online.

FAQs

Should I order a Test Swatch first?
Ordering a test swatch first is always encouraged. That way you can make sure the wallpaper type, color, and scale all meet your expectations in all types of light. You can also do a test installation on your unique surface.

Will dents, scratches, or other imperfections on my wall show through the paper?
Major wall imperfections may be noticeable after installing your wallpaper. It is best to prep your walls and make sure they are smooth prior to installing wallpaper. If you paint your walls, it is recommended that you let the paint fully cure for 4+ weeks prior to installing your wallpaper.
