What Are City and Urban Wallpapers?

Our City and Urban Wallpaper designs are inspired by converted factory and warehouse apartments, distressed finishes and raw materials that encompass a mix of modernity and old-school charm with an industrial edge. The most iconic urban style wallpaper is a brick effect wallpaper but this can also include industrial concrete and cement finishes as well a rusted metal or weathered surfaces.

This type of aesthetic suits a strong personality who wants to be bold and edgy, but it doesn’t have to feel masculine or intimidating. It can be clean lines with a modern, polished feel whilst still capturing city energy. It’s easy to create an ‘urban chic’ interior which is simple yet stylish by using softer neutral tones with touches of black, grey and rust. For the perfect neutral yet urban blend, we would recommend the Brick Effect Vinyl Wallpaper in Neutral by Grandeco. This brick wallpaper uses neutral brown tones, intricate detailing and a lightly textured finish and is the perfect starting point in your interior journey.

In summary, there are many versions of the urban and city inspired interior, so you can lean into it as much or as little as you would like by mixing and matching different types of design styles to create your own unique aesthetic.

Which Rooms Suit City and Urban Wallpaper?

Living rooms and lounges lend themselves really well to brick, concrete and stone style wallpapers where textures and tactile designs can help bring a cosy and inviting feeling. Teenage bedrooms look amazing with a graffiti or skyline feature wall accented by moody tones and flashes of neon. An office is also the perfect space for an industrial wallpaper. Team with a sleek desk and chair and metal storage for the ultimate in urban chic.

How to Style City and Urban Wallpaper

Think minimal but intentional. Try mixing raw metals and unfinished woods with soft leather and modern artwork. For a contemporary look, you can offset bolder brick wallpaper with understated furniture and simple accessories which will result in a contemporary and urban look.

If you are worried the look will be too ‘cold’, try added plants and greenery for a rooftop garden feel. Wood textures, tan coloured leather and subtle touches of fabric are a great way to add warmth without losing the urban atmosphere. So don’t be mistaken by thinking of urban living as grungy and cold, the result can easily be a stylish interior that feels organic and lived-in while looking polished and clean.

Concrete or cement wallpapers offer an industrial lead style. Our designs will elevate your living space with their layers of textures and effects which resemble a realistic concrete finish.

Soft grey and beige tones will create a very liveable look whilst bolder hues of black and blue infuse personality and style into your home.
