Rome Wallpaper

Rome wallpaper is a wall covering showing the ruins, streets and statues of the old city. Columns, arches, marble figures and warm stone all feature. Giffywalls prints each design to the exact width and height of your wall, so an arch never lands half cut in a corner.

Roman Ruins Wallpaper Feels at Home in Britain

Classical detail is nothing new in British homes. Georgian architects borrowed columns and arches wholesale. You can still see it in the terraces of Bath and Edinburgh. So these murals never look imported here. They look like a return. Our soft grey light suits the warm stone tones too. Ochre and sand lift a room that gets little sun. A cool blue scene would only make it feel colder.

For other cities in the same style, our city wallpaper range covers rooftops, streets and skylines across Europe.

Period Homes and Modern Flats

Georgian and Victorian Rooms

High ceilings suit these designs. A column needs height to read properly. Try one in a hallway. Or across the chimney breast in a dining room. Keep the cornicing and skirting plain white so the mural leads. Got a low ceiling? Choose a street view or a single statue instead of a full ruin.

New Builds and Rented Flats

A flat new build wall takes a full scene very well, since there is no moulding to interrupt it. Renting in London or Manchester? Peel and stick lifts off at the end of a tenancy without pulling the paint. Much of our architectural wallpaper range comes the same way.

Keeping the Room Balanced

One wall only, and plain paint on the others. Choose simple modern furniture over reproduction pieces. Keep the floor quiet. Skip a second pattern. One classical wall in a current room looks confident. A whole room of columns starts to feel like a hotel lobby. Restraint is what makes it work.

• Dining rooms: warm stone that suits candlelight.
• Hallways: columns that add depth and height.
• Studies: a framed backdrop behind the desk.
• Sitting rooms: a soft sketch rather than a full ruin.
