Feature Wall Wallpaper: What to Choose?

In many modern homes people choose to paint most of the walls in a room but wallpaper the final one. This special wall is often referred to as the “feature wall” because it is the one that catches everybody’s attention. We have gathered together some of our favourite Farrow & Ball wallpaper and suggested what colours would match it:


Wisteria Paper

This steel blue background looks beautiful with the white and clay floral pattern. It is a feminine pattern that would work well in either a bedroom or living room. The best colours to match this would be a very pale cream on the other walls, a light brown, or any kind of off-white tones. The background of the paper is dark so will stand out from the rest of the room. However, choosing a plain blue (such as No 280 St Giles Blue) for the other walls would also match it if you prefer stronger colours in your home.

The Bamboo Papers BP2119


This black and white wallpaper from Farrow & Ball is a very unique bamboo pattern. It was initially adapted from a 19th Century Japanese print which explains how it gives a traditional yet exotic feel. It is very original and would be a talking-point in any home. It would work well with a plain white, but actually matches brighter colours such as “Cooking Apple Green” or “Cook’s Blue”.

Rosslyn Paper (BP 1922)

This is a very pretty pattern which can be used in either a bedroom or living space. It is ideal for a shabby-chic look or if you are creating a very feminine look. It matches Almond White, Ammonite, or other light shades of cream.

Samphire Paper 

One of our newest patterns, this beautiful shade is covered with a very subtle pattern. It looks beautiful in the light. Green is traditionally put with pure white but different shades of green actually work really well together to create a more innovative design.

            "The Silvergate Papers BP803"


If you are struggling to see the pattern, don’t worry your eyes haven’t gone, it is supposed to be very subtle. This classical print has a traditional British look but without being too outrageous. If you want a feature wall but are concerned about it looking out of place in the room then this design is perfect for you. As it is neutral, it matches any colour of paint.
