Art Nouveau wallpaper is a wall covering built on flowing curves. It dates from around 1900. Giffywalls prints each design to the exact width and height of your wall, so the line meets the corners cleanly.
Why Art Nouveau Suits British Homes
The style had a strong run here. Glasgow grew its own version, with straighter stems and a famous rose motif. London leaned to the softer French line. Both sit well in the houses we still live in. That is why decorators in Glasgow, Bristol and Leeds reach for it when a plain room needs some period weight.
Period Homes and Rented Flats
Victorian and Edwardian Rooms
These houses give you the right bones. Try a tall panel in the hallway. Or one bold wall in a front room with a picture rail. High skirting and deep cornicing frame a curving pattern well. Stop the mural at the rail and the plasterwork still reads. In a terrace, the chimney breast is the other safe spot. It is already framed by the alcoves, so the pattern has a clear edge to stop at.
Peel and Stick Art Nouveau Wallpaper for Renting
Flat modern walls take a big pattern well, as there is no detail to compete with. Renting in Manchester or Birmingham? Choose the peel and stick finish. Our removable wallpaper range lifts off at the end of a tenancy without taking the paint.
Colours to Build Around
Mustard, olive, rust and peacock blue run right through these designs. Gold is used as ink rather than glitter. Pair them with warm white, oak and aged brass. Avoid cool grey, which drains the warmth out. For softer blooms in the same spirit, see our floral wallpaper collection.
- Hallways: a tall panel that draws the eye up the stairs.
- Dining rooms: warm tones that glow under lamplight.
- Bedrooms: one papered wall behind the bed.
- Cloakrooms: the safest small space to go bold.
Made to Measure, Free UK Delivery
Measure your wall. Send us the width and the height. We print the mural to fit. We have sent these designs to flats and terraces from Brighton to Edinburgh, and halls are still the most asked for room. Panels come numbered with hanging notes in the box. UK delivery is free and fast. Torn between two designs? Order a sample first. Screens shift gold and teal more than you would think. It is also worth checking the wall itself. Long, clean lines show up dents in old plaster, so fill and sand before you start.

What is Art Nouveau wallpaper?
Art Nouveau wallpaper revives the flowing, nature-inspired style of the 1890s-1910s: whiplash curves, stylized lilies and irises, peacock feathers, and Mucha-style figures. The designs feel organic and hand-drawn, with elegant, elongated botanical lines.
What is the difference between Art Nouveau and Art Deco wallpaper?
Art Nouveau is organic. Curving vines, flowers, and flowing lines drawn from nature. Art Deco, which followed it, is geometric. Chevrons, fans, and machine-age symmetry. Choose Nouveau for romance and flow, Deco for glamour and structure.
Which rooms suit Art Nouveau wallpaper best?
Living rooms, bedrooms, dining rooms, and entryways all wear the style well. One feature wall is usually enough. The flowing pattern carries the room. Powder rooms suit fully wrapped, floor-to-ceiling treatments.
Can Art Nouveau murals be printed to my wall size?
Yes. Enter your wall's width and height and we print the design as one continuous composition scaled to fit exactly, so the curves and figures resolve cleanly instead of being cut off by repeats.
What colors pair with Art Nouveau wallpaper?
Olive, ochre, and gold pair with cream trim and aged brass; teal and peacock blue suit dark wood; blush and celadon fit lighter schemes. Natural materials like walnut, marble, and velvet echo the style's craftsmanship.
