There's no shortage of stylish wallpaper choices available for a living room that give you the freedom to create and design a room that feels both personal and welcoming.

To help give you some ideas, we've curated a selection of nine different living room wallpaper designs from some of Australia's top suppliers to provide some inspiration.

An Australian-themed design, the beautiful "Australia Wallpaper" by Milton & King, features hand-illustrated elements such as parrots, cockatoos, koalas, and finches to showcase the engaging flora and fauna unique to Australia. It is FSC-certified, sourced from FSC-certified forests, and printed with water-based ink. Additionally, it has obtained a Class A/Group 1 Fire rating, making it ideal for living rooms as well as comfortable commercial spaces that require high-quality, uniquely designed décor.

Strategically placing wall art against an intriguingly designed wallpaper is a great way to create contrast.

The "Ritsurin Wallpaper" by Trabeth Textiles is an ecologically-designed, breathable wallpaper featuring an elegant pattern of bamboo trees in various shades of grey and taupe, giving the impression of an atmospheric, misty environment. The gentle flowing lines of the bamboo trees add a sense of tranquillity to a living space while providing a neutral backdrop.

Premium wallpapers showcase intricate patterns and delicate craftsmanship.

Drawing inspiration from the delicate, natural beauty of sweet pea vines, the captivating "Petite Climbing Sweet Pea Wallpaper" by Milton & King design brings a sense of freshness to a living room and breathes life into walls. The gentle tendrils of the vine ascending the bamboo trellis are hand-painted, showcasing delicate craftsmanship. The wallpaper is available in both soft and moody tones, giving you the flexibility to create a unique space of your own.

Green against a white backdrop brings freshness to a living room.

Are you looking for bright, botanical patterns? If so, look no further than the "Wonderland Wallpaper" by Icon and Radford. Large, stylised floral motifs dominate the design, rendered in shades of pink and coral with green foliage accents. The rich flowers and leaves are set against a speckled beige background that adds depth and texture to the overall pattern. Its bright colours and large print make a bold statement in a living room.

Floral designs are very popular wallpaper choices among homeowners.

For a modern and fun living room, the light-hearted yet detailed "Kingsly Wallpaper" by Trabeth Tiles is a great choice. Its deep navy blue hue provides a striking backdrop for the repeated pattern of sailboat silhouettes. Each sailboat is intricately outlined in white, allowing for a stark contrast that pops against the dark background. The sailboats are evenly spaced and of a consistent size, creating a sense of order and rhythm on the wall, while the strong colour contrast speaks to classical nautical themes.

The right wallpaper can play an instrumental role in the theme of a room.

The visually intriguing "Cherry Blossoms Wallpaper" by Luxe Walls pattern is a vibrant and intricate composition of cherry blossoms and abstract elements on a warm red background. The cherry blossoms, rendered in shades of pink, turquoise, and black, spring from dark, slender branches that create a stark and beautiful contrast with the vivid background.

Complementing the floral elements are geometric and circular motifs that resemble traditional Japanese fans and abstract representations of the sun. These elements are in harmonising colours that add to the depth and visual interest of the design. The mix of organic and geometric shapes gives the wallpaper a dynamic and modern twist on the classic floral theme.

 Living room wallpaper can inspire a room's interior design.

The "Rustic Brick Wallpaper" by Luxe Walls simulates the timeless look of a rustic brick wall with remarkable authenticity. The pattern comprises a rich spectrum of terracotta, orange, and beige bricks, designed to accurately capture the inherent variations found in real clay bricks. Signs of weathering and patina throughout enhance its realistic charm, showcasing faded and worn areas as though exposed to the elements over time. This wallpaper is well-suited to traditional living room designs, to those looking to create a modern farmhouse style, and to industrial-style living rooms that showcase exposed pipes and prominent metal features.

From the tactile grace of the ceramicist’s wheel to the free-flowing stroke of the artist’s brush, the "Ardmore Jabula Wallpaper" by Icon Radford celebrates the animal kingdom and the vibrant landscape that arises. The design is dense with ornate details and a variety of motifs drawing inspiration from natural elements and wildlife. Such wallpaper can serve as a focal point in a living room, around which the rest of the room's décor is centered.
