      Black wallpaper for walls that make a statement

      Black wallpaper makes a room feel finished. It hides corners, makes artwork and brass stand out, and turns small rooms like powder rooms and offices into spaces people remember. Our black wallpaper collection has more than 120 designs on black and charcoal grounds, from art deco gold to moody florals and graphic geometrics, and every one is printed to order in Indianapolis at your wall's exact size.

      Black and gold wallpaper

      Black and gold is the classic luxury pairing. Art deco designs like All That Jazz, Daisy Buchanan, Tim Shepard and Gull layer gold arches, fans and curves over a black ground, while George Wilson and El Rey Dorado bring gold geometrics. For a looser look, Johnny Cade scatters gold brushstrokes across black. Pair black and gold wallpaper with brass lighting and warm wood.

      Art deco black wallpaper

      Art deco black wallpaper brings 1920s glamour to dining rooms, entryways and powder rooms. Beyond the gold arches above, Bugsy Malone layers chevrons and diamonds in cream and coffee tones, and Fat Sam uses white octagons for a black and white tile look.

      Black floral wallpaper

      Florals look richer on a black background. Vintage Magnolia, Rebel Rose, Aurelia and Victorian Peacocks on Black pair botanical illustration with dark drama. For the full range of moody florals and black floral murals, browse dark floral wallpaper.

      Pink and black, green and black, and tropical black wallpaper

      Black is the best background for saturated color. The Original Margaritaville and King Flamingo set hot pink hibiscus and flamingos on black, Hawaiian Shirt adds teal and purple, and Midnight Prowl brings jungle greens. Tropical black wallpaper feels bold in a bathroom or bar area and cozy in a bedroom.

      Black geometric and abstract wallpaper

      Graphic black wallpaper keeps a room modern. Ab Outlines Black uses white linework on black for a shattered-glass effect, Squiggly Wiggly and White Dots are playful and easy to live with, and Black Mandala adds a bohemian pattern on a deep black ground.

      Black wallpaper for bathrooms

      Black bathroom wallpaper is one of the most popular ways to make a powder room feel like a jewel box. Small rooms with little natural light actually suit dark walls, because there's no bright daylight to compete with. For bathrooms with high humidity, choose prepasted smooth or traditional paste-the-wall, which hold up best to moisture. We don’t recommend peel and stick for bathrooms with high humidity.

      Black wallpaper for bedrooms, living rooms and offices

      In bedrooms, a black accent wall behind the bed feels calm and enveloping. In living rooms and dining rooms, black wallpaper makes gold frames, white trim and plants stand out. In home offices, a dark wall behind the desk makes a focused, polished backdrop. For kids' rooms, Unicorn Dreams sets unicorns under a starry black sky.

      Black wall murals

      A black wall mural is one continuous image instead of a repeating pattern, a good choice behind a bed, sofa or dining table. Browse black wall murals.

      Black wallpaper vs. black and white wallpaper

      This collection leans dark: black and charcoal backgrounds with gold, color or white accents. If you prefer white backgrounds with black linework, which keep a room brighter, browse black and white wallpaper.

      How to style black wallpaper

      • Commit to the room. Small rooms look best with black on every wall. In large rooms, start with one accent wall.
      • Add warm metal. Brass, gold and copper fixtures glow against black.
      • Light it well. Warm bulbs and layered lamps keep a black room cozy rather than dim.
      • Choose trim on purpose. White trim gives crisp contrast; painting the trim black makes the room feel seamless and enveloping.

      Black peel and stick wallpaper vs. prepasted

      For the cleanest seams and a finish that looks professionally hung, we recommend prepasted smooth: activate with water, slide into place, and it still removes cleanly when you're ready for a change. Clean seams matter most on dark backgrounds, where any gap is easy to see. Safe for renters and all homeowners.

      Black peel and stick wallpaper installs with no water at all and is a great alternative. Be sure to read our installation instructions to prep your walls correctly. We don’t recommend peel and stick for bathrooms with high humidity.

      Traditional paste-the-wall and Type II commercial-grade options are available for permanent and high-traffic installs. The traditional paste can be strippable with the correct wallpaper paste. We recommend Roman paste products. Every option is GreenGuard Gold certified and printed with non-toxic inks.

      Black wallpaper FAQ

      Will black wallpaper make my room look smaller?

      Not when it's used intentionally. Dark walls blur the corners of a room, which can make a small space feel cozier and more finished. If you're unsure, start with one accent wall.

      Is black wallpaper a good idea for a small bathroom?

      Yes. Powder rooms are one of the best places for black wallpaper. Choose prepasted smooth or traditional paste for bathrooms with high humidity.

      What colors go with black wallpaper?

      Gold, brass, warm wood, white and cream are classic pairings. Emerald, blush and rust work well as accent colors.

      Is black wallpaper removable?

      Yes. Prepasted smooth and peel-and-stick both remove cleanly, and traditional paste is strippable when hung with the right wallpaper paste. Type II is made for permanent, high-traffic installs.

      Can I see a sample first?

      Yes. Samples start at $5 and show the real color, material and scale. Dark colors look different in every room's light, so we recommend one, especially because custom-printed wallpaper can't be returned.
