Victorian wallpaper inspired by the 1800s: peacocks on red, black and yellow, antique and engraved florals, chinoiserie blossoms and ornate gold motifs. Printed to order in prepasted smooth (our pick), peel and stick, traditional paste or Type II commercial.
Wallpaper became a fixture of the home in the Victorian era, when machine-printed rolls made rich, formal patterns affordable for the first time. Victorian wallpaper is known for large-scale florals, birds, ornate motifs and deep colors like crimson, gold and black. Every design in our Victorian wallpaper collection is new and printed to order in Indianapolis at your wall's exact size.
Peacocks were a favorite Victorian motif. Victorian Peacocks on Red sets blue peacocks on Chinese red, Victorian Peacocks on Black is dramatic and moody, and Victorian Peacock on Yellow is bright and cheerful. Each makes a statement in a dining room, powder room or library.
Victorian Flora sets antique florals on black, Victorian Flora in Blue is a softer painted colorway, and Victorian Blossom is a teal sketched floral on soft grey. Alice, Cora and Edna are vintage bouquet prints, Ana May is an engraved-style floral in black and grey, and Pistil is an ornate floral on beige. For a single large image, Dark Romance is a baroque Dutch-style floral wall mural in burgundy and brown. See more floral wallpaper and dark floral wallpaper.
Victorian homes often mixed in patterns inspired by Asian art. Chinese Garden is a woodblock-style print of cream and gold blossoms on black, Mae pairs birds and branches on beige, and Springtime Classic is a cobalt and white floral with butterflies, inspired by glazed tile. For a softer English garden look, English Garden and Garden Bright are watercolor hydrangeas, and Daisy Delight and Floral Vignette are blue florals on white.
Kula is a gold fleur-de-lis pattern with an antique French feel, and El Hombre Dorado adds more gold. For more shine, browse gold wallpaper.
Victorian patterns, from roughly 1837 to 1901, are formal, large-scale and ornate. Vintage is a broader look that covers antique florals from many eras, and art deco, from the 1920s and 1930s, is built on gold geometry and arches. Browse vintage wallpaper and art deco wallpaper.
Victorian wallpaper is made for dining rooms, libraries, entryways, powder rooms and bedrooms in older homes, and it's popular in boutique hotels, restaurants and event spaces. For bathrooms, we recommend prepasted smooth, which holds up best to steam and humidity. Peel and stick works well in powder rooms and in well-ventilated or lightly used guest baths.
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. Safe for renters and all homeowners.
Victorian 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. In bathrooms, peel and stick works well in powder rooms and in well-ventilated or lightly used guest baths; for a bathroom with daily shower steam, we recommend prepasted smooth.
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 material is vinyl- and PVC-free, GreenGuard Gold certified and printed with non-toxic, water-resistant UVgel inks.
