Most homes are short of one thing that cannot be bought in a single afternoon, and that is age. A vintage wallpaper mural is the closest thing to a shortcut, turning one wall into a faded garden, an engraved woodland, an antique map or a softly painted sky that looks as though it has been there for decades. Whether you are drawn to sun-bleached landscapes or deep, atmospheric florals, a mural covers the wall as one continuous picture rather than a repeat, so a single wall is usually all it takes to give a plain room a sense of history. Because it is printed to your own measurements, it is also a self-contained project, with one wall, one scene and no pattern to match around the room.
In this guide, we'll look at what actually makes a wallpaper look vintage, walk through the mural styles worth considering, and weigh up light designs against dark ones before matching them to the rooms they suit best. You'll also find twelve of our favourite vintage murals, along with practical advice on what to check before you order and how to style a room once the mural is up.
What Makes A Wallpaper Look Vintage?
Three things make a wallpaper look vintage: softened pigment, visible hand-worked line work, and a ground that looks aged rather than new. A design can be a century old and still look thoroughly modern if it has been reprinted in sharp, saturated colour, so the look comes down to how a design is drawn and printed rather than when it was first made.
Faded And Sun-Bleached Pigment
Colour that has given up a little of its strength is the first signal. Vintage designs sit a step or two back from full saturation, so a red reads as terracotta or dusty rose, a green as sage or olive, and a blue as slate rather than cobalt. That small retreat is what makes a design feel as though it has already spent years on the wall. It also explains why vintage murals are so easy to live with, since nothing in the palette is fighting the furniture in front of it. If you are comparing two designs and cannot decide which looks older, find the brightest colour in each and choose the one where even that brightest point stays gentle.
Engraved And Hand-Painted Line Work
How a design is drawn matters as much as its colour. Vintage patterns and murals come from an age of engraving, etching and painting, so the marks are visible: fine hatched lines building up a tree canopy, brush strokes you can follow across a petal, ink outlines that thicken and thin along their length. Modern designs are more often built from flat vector shapes with perfectly even edges. This is the detail to check at close range when a sample arrives, because a wall of hand-worked line work rewards standing close in a way a flat graphic never does. It is also why murals suit the vintage look so well, since one continuous scene gives all that line work the room to be seen.
Aged Grounds And Plaster Texture
Background does the quiet work here. A vintage design rarely sits on clean flat white. Instead the ground carries a texture of its own, whether that is the warm tone of old paper, the mottling of aged plaster or a faint vertical grain like canvas that has been rolled and unrolled. Look for uneven colour across the ground rather than a single even tone, since that unevenness is what stops a wall looking freshly printed. There is a practical benefit too. A tonal, textured ground hides the small marks and shadows that a flat pale wall puts on display, which is worth knowing in a room that gets real daily use.
What Are The Best Vintage Wallpaper Mural Styles?
The best vintage wallpaper murals are bird, floral, forest, landscape and map designs, because each one borrows from a different tradition of painted or printed decoration rather than from a modern repeat. A mural is one continuous scene sized to your wall, so you are choosing an image to live with rather than a pattern, and that changes how you judge it. What matters is what happens at eye level and in the corners, not only the part that photographs well.
Vintage Bird Mural Wallpaper
Birds bring movement to a mural, and that is what separates this style from a repeating print. Rather than the same motif marching across the wall, you get a composition where a pheasant sits low near the skirting and a smaller bird lifts towards the ceiling, so your eye travels instead of scanning. Soft blue-grey on a warm sand ground is the most forgiving colourway for a bedroom, reading as almost tonal from the doorway and only resolving into birds and branches when you come close. Put this style on the wall behind your bed, where the finest detail lands at eye level as you sit up, rather than on a wall a wardrobe will cover.

Vintage Floral Mural Wallpaper
Age is the whole appeal of a vintage floral mural, and you notice it in the ground colour before you register a single bloom. Aged gold, olive and faded ochre look as though decades of afternoon light have already crossed them, which is why this style suits a room that already gets generous daylight rather than one you are trying to brighten. Painted irises, gladioli and birds caught mid-flight keep the composition loose and hand-worked, with plenty of bare ground left between the stems. Keep whatever stands in front of it low and simple, a console or a narrow sideboard, so the flowers are not cut off at their most detailed point.

Vintage Forest Mural Wallpaper
Depth is what a forest mural offers, and in a small bedroom that is worth more than colour. An avenue of engraved trees receding into mist makes the wall read as though the room carries on past the plaster, and because the whole scene sits in one tonal family of greige and soft beige, it manages that without raising its voice. Nineteenth-century engraving is the quality to look for, all fine hatched lines rather than blocks of solid colour, and it is what keeps this style feeling collected rather than printed. Panelling below helps enormously, stopping the scene at around a metre and giving the trees a clean horizon to rise from.

Vintage Landscape Mural Wallpaper
If you want a mural that behaves like an antique watercolour, landscape is the style that gets closest. Loose washes of sand, stone and pale blue, trees that dissolve into cloud, edges that fade before they reach the corner of the wall: the effect is a painting hung large rather than wallpaper. That softness makes it one of the few mural styles that suits a room you use all day, because there is no hard motif to tire of. Pale, rounded furniture and plaster or ceramic pieces sit well against it, and it pays to leave one stretch of the wall clear so the washed-out passages of the scene stay visible.

Vintage Map Mural Wallpaper
Old maps earn a wall because there is always something left to find in them. A sepia world map with aged paper texture and legible country names rewards standing close, so this is a style for rooms where people sit or wait a while, such as a study, a home office, a hallway or a snug. Warm brown and grey tones stop it reading like a classroom chart, and the softly worn edges let it sit alongside timber, leather and grey upholstery instead of competing with them. Hang it behind a sofa or a desk, and check the scale before you order, so the equator falls above the furniture line rather than disappearing behind cushions.

Which Vintage Wallpaper Murals Do We Recommend?
The twelve designs below run from grand scenic panoramas to soft painted skies, and each one earns its place for a different reason. Some ask for a long, clear wall and reward you with real distance, while others stay quiet enough to paper a whole bedroom. The list is ordered for variety rather than by style, so you can see how differently a mural behaves depending on its scale, its palette and how much of the wall it actually fills. Keep an eye on the colourway options as you go, since several of these change character completely in a darker tone.
Vintage Wallpaper Mural #1: Safe Heaven, Landscape Mural Wallpaper
Safe Heaven, Landscape Mural Wallpaper opens this list because it shows what a vintage mural can do at full stretch. A sheltered harbour sits between soft hills, sailing boats scattered across the water, painted foliage framing both edges of the scene in the manner of a nineteenth-century scenic panel. Detail runs right to the corners, so the design needs a long, largely unbroken wall to be seen properly, ideally behind a low sofa rather than a tall bookcase. Muted blue-greens and stone tones keep it calm despite all that incident, which is why it settles so comfortably into a living room you use every day.
Featured: Safe Heaven, Landscape Mural Wallpaper
Vintage Wallpaper Mural #2: Tilda Vintage Roses, Mural Wallpaper
Where that harbour scene gives you distance, Tilda Vintage Roses, Mural Wallpaper brings everything close. Peonies and garden roses are painted at a scale where a single bloom can be wider than a pillow, in blush, cream and soft sage against a warm off-white ground. That generosity of scale is what keeps the design romantic rather than fussy, because you read three or four flowers on a wall instead of a busy repeat. Behind a bed it works beautifully, and it pairs naturally with rattan, cane and pale timber. Keep your bedding plain, since the mural is already doing all the pattern the room needs.
Featured: Tilda Vintage Roses, Mural Wallpaper
Vintage Wallpaper Mural #3: The Vintage Grove, Forest Mural Wallpaper
Old-growth woodland painted in soft watercolour is what The Vintage Grove, Forest Mural Wallpaper offers, and its open composition is the reason it suits smaller rooms. Layered trees recede into pale light, giving a compact dining room or reading nook a sense of distance that no repeating print can manage. Sage green on a light ground keeps the whole scene airy, and the tall white skirting here shows how comfortably it sits above a crisp painted line. Five colourways cover Green, Blue, Spring Green, Beige and Burgundy, so you can take this one anywhere from gentle to deeply atmospheric.
Featured: The Vintage Grove, Forest Mural Wallpaper
Vintage Wallpaper Mural #4: Vintage Clouds, Mural Wallpaper
Not every mural needs a subject, and Vintage Clouds, Mural Wallpaper is the proof. Hand-painted cloud formations drift across the wall in weathered blue-grey, closer to an old painted ceiling than to wallpaper, with no motif to place or match. Softness of that kind is genuinely useful in an open-plan room, where a detailed scene ends up competing with the kitchen or dining table behind it. Because the tone lightens as it rises, the wall appears to lift, which helps in a room with a standard ceiling height. Try it behind a pale sofa, where the cloud shapes stay visible above the back cushions.
Featured: Vintage Clouds, Mural Wallpaper
Vintage Wallpaper Mural #5: Pine Wood, Forest Mural Wallpaper
Depth is the whole point of Pine Wood, Forest Mural Wallpaper, a panoramic scene of pines, rolling meadows and distant hills painted in the classical landscape tradition. Darker and richer than most designs on this list, it holds its own beside dark timber, black-painted joinery and even a staircase running across it, which is where a paler mural would simply be lost. Atmospheric haze in the middle distance does the real work, turning a wall into a view rather than a surface. Four colourways come as Green, Blue, Vintage and Grey. Give it a room with decent daylight, since the deeper greens flatten towards grey in poor light.
Featured: Pine Wood, Forest Mural Wallpaper
Vintage Wallpaper Mural #6: Wisteria Garden, Floral Mural Wallpaper
Trailing blossom is the signature of Wisteria Garden, Floral Mural Wallpaper, and it hangs from the top of the wall rather than filling it. The lower half stays almost bare, a softly textured ground that lets furniture sit in front without cutting through the design, which makes this one of the easiest murals to use in a dining room or bedroom where a sideboard or headboard is already in place. Pale blue flowers on warm stone keep the mood quiet and uncomplicated. If your walls are not perfectly true, a loose hand-painted composition like this is far more forgiving than any geometric print.
Featured: Wisteria Garden, Floral Mural Wallpaper
Vintage Wallpaper Mural #7: Vintage Bird, Mural Wallpaper
Finely etched illustration gives Vintage Bird, Mural Wallpaper its antique-plate character, with peacocks standing on a pale bank, a hummingbird at a flowering branch and oversized leaves drawn in dark ink across the upper corner. Most of the wall is left as soft, empty ground, so the effect is closer to a page from an old natural history folio than to a papered room. That restraint is what lets the design work in a hallway or a small dining room without closing the space in. Hang it so the standing peacock sits at furniture height, because the composition reads best when the birds meet you at eye level.
Featured: Vintage Bird, Mural Wallpaper
Vintage Wallpaper Mural #8: Aurelia, Floral Mural Wallpaper
Drawing on classic botanical illustration and romantic oil painting, Aurelia, Floral Mural Wallpaper arranges oversized peonies, carnations, tulips, wildflowers and butterflies into a layered garden that covers the whole wall. Its scale sits usefully between a mural and a repeat, large enough to feel like artwork yet even enough to paper a full room rather than a single feature wall. Sand, Dark Blue and Light Blue are the three colourways, and the sand version shown here is the easiest to live with in a bedroom. Aged brass, worn timber and terracotta all pick up the warmer notes already in the painting.
Featured: Aurelia, Floral Mural Wallpaper
Vintage Wallpaper Mural #9: Bellewood, Tropical Mural Wallpaper
Mist is as much the subject of Bellewood, Tropical Mural Wallpaper as the woodland is. Dense canopies drawn in fine stippled line work fade towards the centre of the composition, so the scene appears to dissolve into fog partway up the wall. In the rust colourway it reads as warm sepia rather than green, which makes it an unexpectedly good match for dark timber floors or aged leather. Five colourways are available. Save this one for a wall you see from across the room, such as the far end of a dining room, where all that fine stippling settles into soft, even tone.
Featured: Bellewood, Tropical Mural Wallpaper
Vintage Wallpaper Mural #10: Clouds Above, Mural Wallpaper
Sky at its most nostalgic is what Clouds Above, Mural Wallpaper delivers, with billowing cloud formations drifting across vintage-washed blue and a faint vertical texture running through it all like aged plaster. It is the bolder of the two cloud murals here, carrying more colour and more contrast, so it can hold a room that has very little else going on in it. Ceilings are worth considering alongside walls, particularly above a bed or in a small bathroom. Carved timber and antique upholstery look wonderful against it, since the softness of the painted sky flatters furniture with a bit of age.
Featured: Clouds Above, Mural Wallpaper
Vintage Wallpaper Mural #11: Bold Floral, Mural Wallpaper
Large-scale blooms in the softest possible palette are what make Bold Floral, Mural Wallpaper rather less bold than its name suggests. Roses and peonies are painted in pale sage and grey on a muted, almost plaster-like ground, so the design covers a wall generously while staying quiet enough to sit behind a desk or a bed. Detailed brushwork rewards a close look, which suits a room where you actually work or read rather than pass through. Because the tones are so pale, this is one of the few murals here that can run across more than one wall of a bedroom without the room feeling heavy.
Featured: Bold Floral, Mural Wallpaper
Should You Choose A Light Or Dark Vintage Wallpaper Mural?
Choose a dark vintage mural if the room is used mainly in the evening and you want the wall to read as a painting, and a light one if the room is small, busy or north-facing and you want the wall to fall away. The decision carries more weight with a mural than it does with a repeat, because the ground tone sets the mood of one continuous scene rather than simply colouring a motif.
Dark Vintage Wallpaper Murals
Dark murals behave like a framed oil painting that happens to cover an entire wall. Deep grounds in ink, charcoal, forest and warm sepia push the painted distance back convincingly, so mist, sky and far hills carry genuine depth instead of sitting flat, and the room gains a focal point rather than a decorated surface. Rooms used after dark are where that pays off, which puts dining rooms, snugs and formal living rooms ahead of kitchens and children's rooms. Lighting is the part most people underestimate, because fine engraved detail collapses into tone under a single central pendant. Add a wall washer, a picture light or a lamp placed to graze the wall and you keep the detail you paid for. One practical caution: a nick in dark wallpaper exposes the pale backing underneath, which shows far more than the same mark on a light ground, so keep a dark mural above furniture-contact height or order it in Heavy Duty Textured Vinyl.

Light Vintage Wallpaper Murals
Light murals do the opposite, dissolving the wall so the scene becomes a view and the room feels larger than it measures. Pale grounds also hold the sun-faded quality that makes a vintage design read as genuinely old, with every pigment softened as though decades of daylight had already passed across it. Fine line work stays legible in weak light, too, which makes this the safer choice for a north-facing room or a wall that only ever gets reflected daylight. Two things are worth watching. Strong midday sun can wash a pale mural out almost completely, so tape your sample up and look at it at noon as well as after dark. A wide expanse of flat pale ground is also less forgiving of an uneven wall, since every ripple and filled patch catches the light, making it worth filling and sanding properly before you hang. Give the scheme an anchor as well, whether that is a walnut table, a black metal lamp or a darker rug, or the whole room can drift.

Which Rooms Suit Vintage Wallpaper Murals?
Bedrooms, dining rooms, entryways and living rooms are the four rooms where a vintage mural does the most work, because each one gives a mural the thing it needs, which is a wall you look at from a predictable position. What changes between them is how long you spend in the room and how close you stand to the wall, and those two things should decide the scale of the scene and the finish you order it in.
Vintage Mural Wallpaper For A Bedroom
A bedroom is the easiest room in the house to hang a mural in, because you only ever see it from two or three fixed positions. The wall behind the bed is the obvious choice, though it is worth remembering that you never actually look at it while you are lying there, so if the scene is the reason you fell for the design, the wall opposite the bed deserves consideration too. Check where your bedside lights and sockets fall before you order, since a reading light drilled through the middle of a painted face is hard to unsee afterwards. Headboard height is the other practical constraint. Measure how much of the wall your bed and pillows cover, then check that the most detailed part of the mural sits above that line.

Vintage Mural Wallpaper For A Dining Room
Dining rooms are where vintage murals earn their keep, and the reason is simple: you sit still in them. A scene that would be wasted in a hallway gets looked at properly over the course of a long dinner, so this is the room to spend your detail on. Seated eye level is what to plan around, roughly 1.2 metres from the floor, which is lower than instinct suggests and much lower than you would hang a picture. Give some thought to the wall on the far side of the table as well, since that is the one every guest faces. A wipeable finish is worth having within arm's reach of a dining table, where fingers, chair backs and the occasional glass all meet the wall.

Vintage Mural Wallpaper For An Entryway
Entryways give you permission to be bolder, simply because nobody lingers in them. They also ask for a different kind of design, since you meet an entry wall from about a metre away rather than across a room, and an open composition with plenty of pale ground reads far better than a dense one at that distance. Tree and branch scenes are particularly good here, lifting the eye upward and making a narrow hall feel taller than it is. Material is the other decision, and wear makes it for you. The lower half of an entry wall meets shoes, bags and dripping umbrellas, so Heavy Duty Textured Vinyl is the wiser choice over a matte finish, letting you wipe marks away rather than live with them.

Vintage Mural Wallpaper For A Living Room
Living rooms are the hardest of the four, because you are in them all day and you see the walls from every angle. Longevity is what matters most, so look for a mural you can comfortably stop noticing, which usually means a soft tonal palette, gentle contrast and interest spread across the whole scene rather than concentrated in one dramatic focal point. Sofa height is the measurement to take before you order, since a mural behind a three-seater loses its bottom 80 centimetres or so to cushions and frame. In an open-plan room, keep the mural to the one wall with no door or window cutting through it, so the scene stays whole and reads as a single piece of artwork.

What Should You Consider Before Choosing A Vintage Wallpaper Mural?
Check the wall itself, work out which parts of the scene will end up hidden, and choose the material for how the room is actually used. A mural is printed to your measurements for one particular wall, so all three are decisions to make before you order rather than after the paper arrives.
Check The Wall Before You Order
Start with the surface, because a mural shows more than a repeat does. Run your hand across the wall, then look along it from the side in daylight, which reveals the ripples, filled patches and old brush texture that a straight-on glance misses. Fill and sand any dents, and let the filler dry fully before hanging, since fresh filler pulls moisture out of the paste and can leave a visible patch behind. On a wall with heavy texture or a patchy history of repairs, lining paper first is worth the extra day. Think about where the drops will join as well. If the wall has an obvious centre, such as a chimney breast, it is better to plan for a seam to fall away from the middle of the scene than straight down it.
Work Out Which Part Of The Scene You Will Actually See
A mural is composed as one picture, so anything fixed to the wall removes a part of it for good. Mark the positions of sockets, switches, radiators, any wall-mounted television and the swing of the door on your measurements before you order, then look at the design and ask which of those falls on something you would rather keep. A radiator under a window takes out the bottom third of that stretch, and a television bracket has a habit of landing exactly where the focal point of a scene sits. Where a mural's best passage is heading for an obstacle, send us your measurements along with a note about what is on the wall, and we can look at the placement with you before anything is printed.
Choose The Material For How The Room Is Used
Three materials cover most situations, and the room makes the decision for you. Non-Woven Matte is the standard choice for a bedroom, living room or dining room, and its flat finish suits the painterly detail of a vintage design. Heavy Duty Textured Vinyl is the one for a kitchen, bathroom, entryway or any wall within reach of daily traffic, since it handles moisture and can be wiped down. Peel and Stick suits rentals and anywhere you want the freedom to change your mind later. Samples are optional but genuinely useful, available in Non-Woven Matte and Peel and Stick, and the sensible way to use one is to tape it to the wall it is destined for and leave it there for a few days rather than judging it in the first five minutes.
How Do You Style A Room With A Vintage Wallpaper Mural?
Let the mural be the only pattern in the room, take your paint colour from its quietest tone rather than its boldest, keep furniture low and slightly off the wall, and resist hanging anything over the scene. A mural is a piece of artwork the size of a wall, and almost every styling decision that follows is really a question of giving it room.
Let One Wall Carry The Pattern
A mural works best when nothing else in the room is trying to do the same job. Keep the remaining walls plain, and if you want pattern elsewhere, put it where the eye reads it separately, such as a rug underfoot or a cushion, rather than on curtains hanging immediately beside the scene. Which wall you choose matters just as much. Pick the one you face as you walk in, with the fewest interruptions across it, and let the design finish at a natural break such as a door frame or a chimney breast. A scene that stops at an open corner looks unfinished, while the same scene stopping at an architrave looks entirely intended.
Pull Your Paint From The Mural's Quietest Tone
Instinct says to match the boldest colour in the mural, and that is usually the wrong one. Paint the surrounding walls in the palest tone you can find in the design, which is often the ground colour sitting behind the motifs, and the mural gains space while the room still reads as one scheme. Save the stronger colours for small things, a cushion, a lampshade, a stack of books. Woodwork deserves the same thought. Skirtings, architraves and picture rails in a soft off-white, or in a shade drawn from the mural's ground, sit far more comfortably than brilliant white, which cuts a hard bright line around an aged, softened design and makes the whole thing look pasted on.
Keep Furniture Low And Slightly Off The Wall
What you put in front of a mural decides how much of it survives. Low furniture protects the composition, so a console, a bench, a low sideboard or a bed with a modest headboard leaves the scene largely intact, while a tall bookcase or a wardrobe cuts straight through it. Leave a few centimetres between the furniture and the wall as well, because chair backs, bed frames and sofa cushions rubbing against paper will polish it and eventually mark it, and that small gap also lets you clean behind. In a dining room, pull the chairs on the mural side a little further out than feels natural, since those are the ones meeting the wall every time somebody stands up.
Resist Hanging Art Over The Scene
A mural is meant to be read in one piece, so a framed picture in the middle of it undoes the depth that made you choose it. The honest advice is to leave that wall alone and hang your art opposite, where each piece stands out properly against a quiet background. If something must go on the mural wall, choose the emptiest passage of the composition, usually a stretch of sky, mist or open ground, and keep it to a single piece rather than a group. Mirrors are the exception worth planning for. A mirror on the wall facing a mural doubles the scene and throws light back into it, which does a great deal for a dining room or a hallway.

How to Calculate How Much Wallpaper You Need?
Before purchasing, it’s important to measure your wall accurately to avoid over- or under-ordering. Here’s a simple way to get started:
- Measure the width of the wall from edge to edge.
- Measure the height from floor to ceiling.
- Allow for extra, around 10cm, to account for trimming and pattern matching.
- Note where sockets, switches, radiators and doors fall, since a mural is composed as one picture and anything fixed to the wall covers part of it.
