Wallpaper for Drawing Room: 15 Designs, Which Wall to Paper and What It Costs

A drawing room usually has one wall worth papering. Pick that wall first, then pick the design. All fifteen designs below are from the DecoraHub wallpaper collection, start at ₹99 per sq ft and are printed to the exact size of your wall.

Which wall to paper

• The wall behind the sofa. Guests face it when they enter and it shows in every family photograph. It is usually the longest unbroken wall, which suits murals.
• The TV wall. Choose a plain texture or a fine stripe here. A busy mural behind a screen tires the eyes. Pair it with a TV unit in a matching metal finish.
• The dining end of a combined hall. A different paper behind the dining table separates the two zones without a wall. A PVD partition does the same job where you want a physical divider.
• The foyer wall. Small area, low cost, seen by every visitor. It works well behind a console table and a mirror.

Avoid walls with more than two doors or windows. The pattern gets cut into pieces and the effect is lost.

Pattern scale

Large murals need a wall at least 10 ft wide and a viewing distance of 8 ft or more. In a drawing room under 10 x 12 ft, use a small repeat, a stripe or a texture. Dark grounds make a room feel closer. Light grounds with gold detail reflect evening lighting and suit rooms with one window.

Indian heritage murals

1. Jaipur Garden Wallpaper
2. Jaipur Architectural Wallpaper
3. Indian Palace With Peacock Wallpaper
4. Royal Neelkamal Bloom 3D Wallpaper

These suit homes with carved wood, brass and traditional upholstery. Keep the furniture in front of them simple. A teak dining set or a plain sofa in a solid colour lets the mural carry the room.

Tropical and botanical

5. Banana Leaf 3D Wallpaper, the best-selling design in the collection
6. 3D Gold Tropical Wallpaper
7. 3D Look Tree Wallpaper
8. Vintage Floral Wallpaper

Botanical papers work with cane, rattan and light wood. They also sit well beside a rattan and acrylic PVD room divider.

Gold and geometric

9. Gold Strip Design Wallpaper
10. 3D White Gold Geometric Wallpaper
11. Ivory Gold Crackle Line Wallpaper
12. Champagne Quilted Swirl 3D Wallpaper

Gold-detail papers are the natural match for gold PVD furniture. If your marble centre table or console has a gold stainless steel base, repeat that gold once on the wall and once in a metal wall clock or a piece of metal wall art. Three touches of the same metal are enough.

Plain textures for TV walls and small rooms

13. Beige Linen Texture Wallpaper
14. Beige Linen Triangle Texture Wallpaper
15. Blush Taupe Abstract Brushstroke Wallpaper

A textured neutral is the safe choice when the room already has a patterned living room carpet. One pattern per room is a sound rule. If the carpet is Persian, keep the wall plain. If the wall is a mural, choose a plain carpet. The carpet size guide helps with the floor.

What a drawing room wall costs

A 12 x 10 ft wall is 120 sq ft. On Standard paper that is ₹11,880. On Premium it is ₹17,880 and on Luxury ₹23,880. Installation adds ₹49 per sq ft. The full table is in wallpaper price per sq ft in India, and the difference between flat, 3D and textured surfaces is in the paper types guide.

Common questions

Which wallpaper is best for a drawing room?
For a wall 10 ft or wider, a mural such as Jaipur Garden. For smaller rooms and TV walls, a linen texture or a gold stripe.

Should all four walls be papered?
Rarely. One papered wall and three painted walls costs a third as much and looks more deliberate.

Will wallpaper survive in a room that gets afternoon sun?
The prints are fade resistant under normal indoor light. Any print fades faster under hours of direct sun, so use curtains on a west-facing window.

Can I see it in real homes first?
Buyer photos are on the reviews page. You can also ask for a sample.
