Combine instead of just wallpapering!

Wallpapers can be wonderfully combined - with matching plain colours, colours, borders or canvas pictures, a harmonious overall picture is created.

Whether you want to give your patterned wallpaper a calm counterpoint or set specific highlights

- we will show you how to find the perfect combination.

Why should you combine wallpapers?

The skilful combination of wallpapers not only brings depth, texture and excitement to the room - it makes the difference 

between a ‘beautiful wall’ and a well-thought-out living concept.

Because the full effect only unfolds in the interplay of patterned wallpaper and plain wallpaper: stylish, harmonious and individual.

Take advantage of the diversity of our collections and discover the benefits of the combination:

 

 

Harmony through contrasts

An expressive patterned wallpaper gains impact when it is framed by calm plain

or textured surfaces. This creates exciting contrasts - without disturbing the room.

 

Targeted eye-catchers create

Combined wallpapers create accents: for example, as a statement wall behind the bed, the sofa or in the dining room.

The other walls in plain colours create the necessary balance.

 

Balanced look with combinations

Patterns plus plain colours - that's the key to a balanced sense of space. Particularly popular:

floral or graphic designs in combination with tone-on-tone wallpaper or natural linen looks.

 

Our tip:

Plain colours make patterns strong - and patterns bring plain colours to life.

Those who combine create rooms with character and style.

How it works: Combine wallpaper correctly

Step 1: Choose the main wallpaper

 

Step 2: Choose matching plain colours

 

Step 3: Set the right accents (e.g. patterned wallpaper behind the sofa, the rest plain)

Our combination recommendation:

Which wallpaper goes with my sample wallpaper?

Not every wall needs an eye-catching pattern - but every wall can be part of a harmonious overall concept. If you choose a patterned wallpaper, you can create a targeted room effect with matching combination wallpapers: tension, harmony or gentle transitions. We show you how to combine wallpapers in style.

 

 

Pattern + plain

Showcase your patterned wallpaper by combining it with a colour-coordinated plain wallpaper - particularly beautiful with floral, graphic or tropical motifs.

 

 

Floral designs + linen look

For a natural, cosy look, floral prints are ideal in combination with wallpaper in a textile or linen look - subtle but stylish.

 

 

Texture + gloss

Bring dynamism into the room: combine textured wallpapers with glossy surfaces - such as a concrete look plus metallic elements or a matt non-woven texture plus a delicate silk look.

Extra tip!

Have you found a patterned wallpaper - but aren't sure which plain wallpaper would go with it? Or how the room will look with both wallpapers?

No problem: with our visualisation tool, you can test your desired combination directly in the room - without any risk, but with a real wow effect.

Alternative or complementary? The wall colour

Definitely both! Not every wall has to be wallpapered - sometimes a finely coordinated wall colour is the ideal complement to patterned wallpaper.

Whether as a calm counterpart, tone-on-tone gradient or deliberate contrast:

wall colours open up even more creative scope.

A combination with colour is particularly suitable for large-scale patterned wallpaper:

 

Wallpaper one wall, paint the others

This way, the room doesn't look cluttered, but stylish and balanced

 

Create colour accents

A plain surface in a shade of the patterned wallpaper enhances the effect and rounds off the colour concept

 

Colour zoning

Individual areas (e.g. dining area, reading corner) can be visually demarcated with colour - without the need for additional walls

 

 

Round off the look with decoration

The perfect wall design doesn't end with wallpaper or paint - that's where it really begins.

With the right accessories, you can emphasise the style of your room, create exciting contrasts or create a special atmosphere.

 

Combine your wallpaper with:

Canvas pictures

In matching colours or with abstract motifs, they are ideal as eye-catchers on plain wallpaper.

Textiles

Curtains, cushions or rugs that pick up on the colours or patterns of the wallpaper create a harmonious overall look.

Lights

Whether black or natural materials - depending on the style, they create specific highlights.

Four of the most popular style worlds at a glance:

Industrial style

Rough, clear and urban: wallpaper with a concrete or metal look combined with dark plain colours such as anthracite, steel grey or rust brown.

The perfect look for loft lovers.

 

Tip: Go for contrasts - with leather, metal, clean lines and cool materials.

Scandi style

Minimalist, light and natural: delicate patterns and light natural colours such as beige, grey or sage green create a light feeling in the room.

 

 

Tip: Less is more - opt for clear shapes, light-coloured wood and discreet decorative elements.

Boho style

Free-spirited and creative: botanical prints and warm, earthy plain colours such as terracotta, ochre or olive green bring warmth and personality to your home.

 

Tip: Combine natural materials, plants and macramé with expressive patterns.

Country house style

Light natural colours, fine patterns and soft textures lend the room a warm, inviting atmosphere. The style combines classic elegance with rural cosiness.

 

Tip: Vintage furniture, wooden decorations and floral textiles go well with this style.
