Colorful walls and pretty patterns to save
green lines and pink trim
We’re starting off strong with this gorgeous green and pink room. I love the fine white geometric lines across the green walls.
The pink trim and curved pink sofa are just as pretty.

If you want to try the pairing without changing all your furniture, start with a pink cushion beside a green patterned wall.
a jungle arch
How cute is this arched backdrop? The dark jungle design sits behind the bed, with a spotted big cat, winding branches and little pops of yellow and orange.
Keep the surrounding wall white if you want to follow this look. The olive-green bedding is a lovely color to borrow from the leaves.
an orange desk corner
Don’t want a busy pattern behind your desk? No problem!
This solid orange wall accent gives the corner plenty of color without a repeating print. Its rounded edge curves around the black display shelves.
This is a painted-style accent rather than a visible wallpaper design. You could use it as inspiration for the shape of a wallpaper panel.
big blooms around the mirror
I am obsessed with these oversized coral flowers. The dark background looks so pretty around the oval gold-colored mirror, especially with those smaller white blooms mixed in.
A little vase of flowers beside the sink repeats the wall colors. That’s a detail worth keeping if you try a similar floral bathroom.
retro petals and orange
The retro-pattern fans are going to love this! Huge petal shapes bring together mustard yellow, rusty orange and several shades of green.
I especially love the orange chair in front. Choose a chair in one of your wallpaper colors if you want to try the same idea.
parrots beside the bed
If you are looking for a true eye-catcher, then this one is for you. Those giant green parrots have bright red and yellow details, with leafy branches filling the wall around them.
The blue bedside table is another cute touch. I’d keep the bedding simple like this so you can enjoy all the little details in the mural.
rainbow stripes and dots
How fun is this striped wall? Pink, orange, blue and green bands sit beside narrow black-and-white patterns. The little dots are my favorite part.
Try white accessories if you want to follow this setup. The stacked rounded stool and tall white plant stands leave plenty of room for all that color.
flowering branches in navy
This floral wall may just be one of my favorites here. I love the delicate pink blossoms against the dark navy background, especially beside those tall green-framed windows.
For a smaller dining nook, you could borrow the combination of a flowering print, tan seating and a little round table.
blue birds and blossoms
Looking for color without a whole rainbow? This blue-and-cream hallway is such a pretty option.
Branches, blossoms and little birds wrap around the white doorway.
Keep your door and trim plain if you want a similar look. There’s already plenty to enjoy in the different shades of blue.
pattern all the way upstairs
Who says you have to stop at one pattern? This staircase pairs a leafy orange-and-green wall with a blue-and-brown circular stair pattern.
Framed prints run right up the wall too.
I love how much there is to look at. If you want to try a gallery wall over wallpaper, start with artwork that repeats a few of its colors.
a rainbow bedroom wall
I am obsessed with the pink and teal in this bedroom wall. The jagged bands of color run into yellow, green and deep blue, almost like oversized brushstrokes.
The mustard bedcover and dark teal pillows pick up two of those colors. You don’t have to match every shade to try this look.
little flowers behind shelves
Don’t want to cover an entire room? Look no further because these floral shelf backs are for you.
The small pink and orange flowers look adorable inside the green arched shelving.
The yellow striped vase is a favorite detail too. Try one striped accessory if you want another pattern without adding much.
pink hearts and doodles
How sweet is this pink collage? There are orange-centered hearts, little starbursts and a cat tucked among the doodles.
The handwritten lettering makes it feel like a giant scrapbook page.
This image shows a graphic rather than an installed wall covering. You could borrow its pink-and-orange palette for a playful wall or framed print collection.
lemons on pale blue
Sometimes a simple repeating pattern is all you need. These bright yellow lemons and green leaves look so cute against pale blue.
This is a pattern sample rather than a room photo. I’d try a print like this in a breakfast nook with white trim and a few yellow accessories.
teal walls and oversized art
I love this teal-and-rust bedroom. The oversized artwork behind the bed brings in blue, cream and golden yellow, while the orange throw repeats the desk chair’s color.
There isn’t a clearly visible wallpaper installation here. If you prefer plain walls, borrow this idea and bring your pattern in through large artwork instead.
flowers on the ceiling
Don’t want to add pattern to your walls? Look up!
This room puts the floral design inside the ceiling panels, with white beams separating each section.
I am in love with the blue flowers above the white sofa. A teal cushion or footstool would be a lovely way to repeat that color lower down.
an unfinished panel idea
This selection needs a closer look before you use it as wallpaper inspiration. The image shows someone handling a large pink board in a store, not a finished accent wall.
A completed project photo would be needed to judge its pattern, placement or final look. The screenshot alone doesn’t show how the proposed wall decoration turns out.
soft florals in the entry
This is another floral hallway, but it’s a little different from the blue one above. Pale blue-green shapes and small red flowers repeat behind an ornate arched mirror.
The narrow console leaves room for a lamp and a big flower arrangement. Try pulling one flower color from your wallpaper when choosing a bouquet.
flowers around an orange arch
How adorable is this little book nook? Orange flowers and green leaves follow the outside of the arch, with another floral spray above the shelves.
The bunny and mushroom-shaped lamp are so cute together.
The image doesn’t establish whether the flowers are painted or applied. Either way, you could borrow the floral border idea instead of covering a whole wall.
dark florals behind the bar
Last but definitely not least, we have this gorgeous floral bar wall. I love the large pink flowers against the deep blue-green background.
The green stools and gold-colored pendant lights look lovely beside it.
Keep a little space between the objects on your shelves if you want the pattern to show through like this.
