Stick around: Why wallpaper is here to stay
When it comes to transforming a room, there’s nothing quite like wallpaper. It might not be your first choice over paint when designing your home interior, but the bold prints, or soft textures, can add instant personality and polish to complement your Resene paint palette. The Resene Wallpaper Collection has a design to suit every mood, from lush and leafy to chic and sophisticated. Ready to paper over the ordinary? Let’s take a look at five standout styles to get you started.
Terracotta twist
The terracotta tones in Resene Wallpaper Collection 34605 offer earthy warmth and a modern rustic vibe that feels both grounded and stylish.
Warm and welcoming, this terracotta-toned Resene wallpaper brings the heat in the most stylish way. It’s also a great design for warming up interiors over the winter months. The subtle grid pattern keeps things feeling tailored, while natural accents like timber, leather and ceramics tie the look together. It’s a modern nod to Mediterranean colour palettes – earthy, grounded and effortlessly chic.
Try a similar design to Resene Wallpaper Collection 34605 with a little more texture like Resene Wallpaper Collection CLR017 paired with a warm white like Resene Half Spanish White and terracotta hues to bring the look together like Resene Sante Fe and Resene Tuscany.
Art deco after dark
Resene Wallpaper Collection M42119 is a moody art deco-inspired print that brings instant drama and glamour to any space.
Moody, modern and magnificently glam – this black and gold geometric Resene wallpaper brings serious Gatsby vibes. Paired with plush velvet and golden metallics, it proves that dark walls don’t have to feel heavy. Instead, they offer drama, depth and a perfect canvas for layering luxe textures and curated lighting. Ideal for living rooms, media rooms or anywhere you want to channel a little vintage opulence. You could even start with your powder room if you want to play around with going bold for the first time!
For a similar colourway, try Resene Wallpaper Collection A54901 or Resene Wallpaper Collection AS379911, and pair these designs with a dark hue like Resene Nero paired with Resene FX Metallic Gold paint on accessories or furniture.
Calm, cool and textured
The soft brick texture in Resene Wallpaper Collection 34612 adds understated charm and depth, perfect for calming, minimalist interiors.
Understated but far from boring, this soft grey brick-effect Resene wallpaper adds quiet texture and timeless appeal. Styled here with light rattan furniture and muted tones, the space leans into that perfectly balanced Scandi-minimalist sweet spot. It’s a great choice for renters or renovators looking to add architectural character without structural changes.
If you’re liking the neutral brick look, try Resene Wallpaper Collection FH37516 or perhaps a more classic red brick design like Resene Wallpaper Collection FH37518. Pair these with classic whites like Resene Alabaster or Resene Merino to keep that minimalist feel.
Into the wild
Resene Wallpaper Collection 2536V-13 is a lush, oversized botanical mural that turns any wall into a tropical escape.
Talk about a showstopper! This bold botanical mural will turn an ordinary wall into a lush green escape. With oversized tropical foliage and deep teal tones, it’s a wallpaper that doubles as artwork. Perfect for open plan spaces or accent walls, it invites nature indoors in the most dramatic way. Add plants and natural materials like wood and rattan for a more rustic feel, or keep things sleek like in this space for an elegant and sophisticated atmosphere.
Try other tropical designs like Resene Wallpaper Collection 543643 and Resene Wallpaper Collection 537352 paired with a crisp white like Resene Half Black White and accessories painted in Resene Deep Teal for a cohesive design.
Softly spoken tropics
Resene Wallpaper Collection 33307 features delicate, leafy embossing in natural tones, adding elegant texture and a hint of the outdoors.
Prefer your palms a little more low-key? This neutral leafy Resene wallpaper design is all about subtle sophistication. The texture and design give the illusion of depth and movement, while the creamy tones let your furniture and décor do the talking. It’s a lovely option for bedrooms, hallways or calm corners where you want interest without overwhelm.
Try other neutral toned flora designs like Resene Wallpaper Collection 33951 and Resene Wallpaper Collection 33303. Choose a tone from within the wallpaper for surrounding walls to create a cohesive design, such as Resene Thorndon Cream and Resene Quarter Drought.
