15 Rooms With Fresh Floral Wallpaper — There’s A Bloom For Every Room!
Updated on April 7, 2025
As the weather warms, it’s hard to resist a joyful floral wallpaper, and short of bringing in a bouquet and throwing open a window, there’s no easier way to bring the outdoors in. Inspired by vintage leaf prints, with lush images of plants and flowers, botanical wallpapers are perennial pillars of traditional decorating for good reason. Whether you choose floral wallpaper to enliven a small powder room, or go big and bold in a bedroom, there’s a bloom for every room. Scroll down!
The whimsical floral wallpaper in this space designed by Olivia Botrie was originally selected for the powder room, but when her clients saw it, they had a change of heart, opting to go bigger and use it in the dining room instead. The colourful pattern works with the existing stained glass windows and putty-hued trim.
In designer Susan Drover’s home, a vibrant botanical wallpaper brings energy to the stairway and an inky hue with green undertones adorns window frames and the stair rail.
“This bold wallpaper really sets the tone,” says designer Cynthia Ferguson of her clients’ foyer. “People fall in love with an impactful pattern, but then they’re terrified to use it!”
This leafy print is a fresh take on botanical wallpaper that gives a tropical twist to a custom vanity with louvered detailing, and beachy wicker lampshades.
This super feminine powder room is an homage to the classics, from the Venetian mirror to the vanity skirt. A shell pink wallpaper adorned with chinoiserie style peonies, cherry blossoms and spring branches is a delicate accent for the pink onyx counter.
This bedroom feels like a hot house thanks to a blush-hued House of Hackney wallpaper and matching bolster fabric.
In this Quebec farmhouse, traditional elements like wainscotting is given an update with a fresh sage green paint. To complement the paint, this leafy print mirrors the lush garden outside.
Playful wallpaper is the star of the show in this principal bedroom. “It gives the impression that the flowers are growing up the wall,” says designer Richard Ouellette.
The botanical wallpaper throughout this home reverses the “beige” look left behind by the home stager. “The rooms are large and deep,” says designer Kenneth McRobbie. “If the colors aren’t cheerful enough, they can look flat.”
The mudroom–laundry room off the kitchen shares the same palette. Picking a bold colorway when selecting a historic wallpaper print keeps the mood lively and young.
In the office, an antique Serapi rug is a bold contrast to the Morris & Co. wallpaper and vintage photographs.
Wallpapering the ceiling is a designer trick to make a space feel enveloping and cosy. In this welcoming foyer, a cheery leaf wallpaper and classic checkerboard floors complement the dark wood tones.
In this main-floor powder room, jungle cats creep amongst the palm trees and vegetation. The whimsical pattern is grounded by blue-green floor tile and touches of brass.
A cool palette makes this floral look more contemporary. Blues, pinks and printed wallpaper energize rooms while deep wood tones, molding and panelling reinforce the home’s vintage.
A floral wallpaper panel in a plaster frame adds interest in this newly built home foyer. “Glam touches elevate the space from neutral and subdued to something with a little extra oomph,” says designer Josh Greenbaum.
