Black & White Wallpaper

Black and white wallpaper gives your space crisp, high-contrast character that never goes out of fashion. This range spans bold stripes and geometrics, fine line-art florals, botanical sketches, toile-style scenes, Art Deco fans and dramatic monochrome murals, in black on white or white on black. Monochrome pattern works with any colour scheme, so it suits modern, Scandinavian, industrial and classic interiors alike. Think a graphic feature wall in an entrance hall, a striking backdrop behind open kitchen shelving or a sketched botanical in a guest loo. Scale matters: small, busy repeats can buzz from across the room, while larger motifs feel calmer, so check the pattern size in our room visualiser before ordering. For more graphic lines, see geometric and stripe wallpaper, or soften the look with grey wallpaper. Printed locally in Johannesburg with low-VOC inks, in Peel & Stick or Traditional.

Will black and white wallpaper overwhelm a small room?

It can if the pattern is small and very busy. In a compact room, choose a larger-scale motif or a design with more white background, and keep it to one feature wall. In a guest loo, though, going bold on every wall can look fantastic.

What colours go with black and white wallpaper?

Almost any colour works. A single accent such as mustard, emerald, cobalt or red looks striking against monochrome. For a calmer look, stick to natural timber, brass and plants.

Which rooms suit monochrome wallpaper?

Entrance halls, guest loos, kitchens and home offices are popular choices because they benefit from a strong first impression. Softer line-art florals and botanical sketches also suit bedrooms.
