Nicest Neutrals: Top 30 Beige, Grey and White Wallpaper Designs to Elevate Your Space

While we know you might feel like wallpaper is a scary commitment, it’s honestly not, promise! There are so many subdued wallpaper designs on the market these days that can give your walls interest without the overwhelm.

That’s the key to easing into using wallpaper, actually; choosing a design that adds that necessary layer of warmth and depth, without it being so daring that it dates quickly or gets on your nerves. 

So, if your walls are craving some TLC, then look no further than the below round up of our fave 30 beige, grey and white wallpaper designs. Because paint can’t do all the work in making your walls look wonderful!

1. Chevron Taupe Wallpaper

Let’s begin this roundup of beige, grey and white wallpaper designs with a lively paper that’ll deliver some wow.

While the pattern of the Chevron Taupe Wallpaper is certainly striking, the colour story here is doing a lot of the work. It creates a great sense of balance; calming down what might be a too-daring design if it were in a bolder colour.

If you’re worried about applying a wallpaper design like this to a space like your bedroom, start small with your experiment. This wallpaper would look absolutely divine as a feature wall in a hallway or powder room.

2. Tilly Sand Wallpaper

The Tilly Sand Wallpaper from These Walls is giving both retro and coastal vibes, and we’re here for it.

While the pattern holds a sense of 80’s nostalgia, the colour palette is modern in its approach. That sense of contrast makes it perfect for contemporary homes that want to evoke a little drama without going too over the top.

While the pattern seems more graphic close-up, it softens as you move further away from it; the perfect wallpaper design idea for the wall behind the headboard in your bedroom.

3. Striped Linen Wallpaper

As seen in Rachel & Ryan’s Guest Bedroom on the Block 2022, the Striped Linen Wallpaper from Grafico is a subtle but effective way to introduce pattern to your space.

This neutral wallpaper not only adds a layer of warmth to your walls that can’t be achieved with paint alone, but its soft colour palette will keep your space feeling open and airy.

We’re obsessed with this one and see it working so well in a modern country home or similar.

4. Petales Trois Wallpaper

Say hello to this design dreamboat; the Petales Trois Wallpaper in all of it’s dazzling glory.

Reminiscent of country-style tiles, this paper is the perfect combination of traditional design and modern technique. It brings with it a sense of warmth, welcoming you into a room and engaging the eye.

Apply it to a wall in your bathroom, as seen above, cover your home office in it, or bring some drama into your laundry. It’ll work just about anywhere.

5. Linen Soaped Oak Wallpaper

How gorgeous is the Soaped Oak Wallpaper from Natty & Polly? This wallpaper not only delivers a lovely shade of beige with soft brown undertones, but it’s so subtle that it almost reads as paint.

This is the ultimate wallpaper for those of you who feel a little afraid to commit to paper. It’ll give you way more warmth than paint can, and will bring a harmonious feel to any room at home you choose to put it in. We love it for a bedroom.

This wallpaper is neutral, but definitely not boring. Give it a go!

6. Tropical Leaf Outline

The Tropical Leaf Outline Wallpaper from Grafico is jam-packed with personality. While the pattern is certainly eye-catching, its fine lines keep this wallpaper feeling soft and calm.

This design could have the tendency to overwhelm a space like a bedroom if you wrapped it fully around the room, so we’d recommend you use it on one wall only, as a feature (like behind your bed).

Alternatively, try it on all the walls in a smaller space like your laundry.

7. Formes Trois Wallpaper

The creative Formes Trois Wallpaper above is a bit of a show-stopper, and will certainly bring a tonne of interest to your bare walls at home.

Featuring an intricate, painterly style watercolour design, its variation of shapes on a subtly textured background strikes the perfect sense of balance between invigoration and calm.

Imagine this in an entryway as you walk into the home; stunning. We can also see it fully wrapped around a laundry, applied to a bedroom feature wall, or shining bright in a powder room. 

8. Amelie Texture Wallpaper

The Amelie Texture Wallpaper appears simple upon first glance, but it’s actually bursting with texture. Its woven material and grey tones will help add a layer of depth and warmth to your room.

This is a beautiful and effective way to avoid your walls feeling too stark and cold, all while keeping the overall vibe subdued and fuss-free. Doesn’t it feel incredibly calm as well? The perfect paper to apply in your bedroom.

9. Autumn Leaves Wallpaper

The Autumn Leaves Wallpaper in Soft Grey is the perfect way to bring serenity into your home.

It also taps into the popular Nature Trend we’ve spoken about on the blog before, blurring the lines between indoors and out.

While the pattern is evidently stunning, it’s the combination of grey and white that we’re obsessed with. Plus you can get it in peel-and-stick so you can DIY, or order it in its traditional form and get a pro to install it for you.

10. Graphic Grey Wallpaper 

This neutral wallpaper idea is pretty adorable, and would be perfect in a nursery, kids room, or even a hallway in need of an eye-catching focal point.

Its graphic grey pattern certainly brings interest, while its white background ensures a sense of airiness and lightness is retained in the space. The Graphic Grey Wallpaper from Natty & Polly is a strong contender in our opinion.

11. Enchanted Lagoon

The Enchanted Lagoon Wallpaper design is a truly special one. It’s more than just a nature-inspired pattern; it depicts an entire landscape you can get lost within.

While many of the wallpaper designs showcased here work well behind the headboard in your bedroom, we reckon this one should take pride of place on the wall across from your bed so you can experience the calming effect it’ll have on you.

12. Plaster Wallpaper

This impressive Plaster Wallpaper design from Wallpaper Direct is absolutely enchanting. The plaster wall effect and subtle shimmer makes this wallpaper a luxurious option for any number of rooms.

And, if the beautiful stone colourway isn’t enough to tickle your fancy, this wallpaper is also available in Charcoal and White. You’re spoilt for choice with this neutral wallpaper range!

13. Sunbird Dunegrass Wallpaper

The Sunbird Dunegrass Wallpaper captures all things sun, birds and linework; keeping the overall design feeling light, fun and whimsical.

This collection from These Walls has been specifically designed to provide a sense of childhood nostalgia from days spent down at the beach.

We love the meaning behind this wallpaper idea and see it working wonderfully as a feature wall in a room that needs some oomph and impact.

14. Garbo White Wallpaper

Add some understated luxury to your home with the Garbo Wallpaper from Natty & Polly.

The slight gloss finish in this white wallpaper design will not only leave your walls feeling sophisticated, but its art deco effect will bring immense character too.

What’s also great is that this beauty is available in a variety of colourways if the neutral feel of this wallpaper feels too muted for you.

15. Aperol in Grey Wallpaper

Add some love to your walls with the Aperol in Grey Wallpaper from Olive et Oriel. 

What’s so good about this particular wallpaper design is that despite it looking quite visually stimulating close-up, it actually evokes a sense of calm en masse across the walls in a room. That’s some wallpaper magic we can get behind!

16. Country Plain Wallpaper

If you’re in search of a wallpaper that adds a sense of calm and harmony to your home, look no further than this soothing Country Plain Wallpaper.

Both the colour and texture of this wallpaper are deliciously soft. It’s the kind of neutral wallpaper design you can install as a full wrap around the room because it’s so easy on the eye. 

We love this timeless design and are pretty sure you’re going to love it for years to come too.

17. Beige Linen Flowers Wallpaper

If you’re looking to inject both warmth and fun into your kiddie’s room, look no further than the Beige Linen Flowers wallpaper.

This pattern is sure to add interest, as well as create a mini-sanctuary for your little one to escape in. What’s also great is that you can choose from a smooth matte or textured finish. 

Pair this wallpaper with one of these stunning kids quilt cover sets and the scene for a good night’s sleep is set!

18. Almost White Battens Wallpaper

We’re totally obsessed with the Almost White Battens Wallpaper.

Not only does this wallpaper look clean and sleek, but its batten-inspired design is perfect for those of you who don’t want to commit to real VJ panelling.

This wallpaper can be used in any room of the house to add a sense of height. It’s perfect for those of you with low ceilings because it draws your eye upwards and makes the wall seem taller.

19. Lines in the Sand

Bring vibrant bohemian vibes to your bedroom with the Lines in the Sand Wallpaper. This one, while beautiful and beige in tone, is anything but subdued. The dramatic pattern will definitely create a focal point in a space.

We recommend using this wallpaper design as a feature wall rather than wrapping it all the way around your room. The wall behind your bed would certainly benefit from it.

Fortune favours the brave! Give it a go.

20. Finn Overcast

The Finn Overcast Wallpaper you see above is a nice new take on the classic striped wallpaper. It brings with it a distinct modernity; it feels fresh and contemporary and yet still gives a nod to the traditional.

When it comes to a grey and white wallpaper design that ticks all the boxes, this is a pretty tough one to pass up. Because it’s subtle, it’ll work in loads of rooms at home too. Laundry, living room, bathroom, you name it!

21. White Tile Wallpaper

This White Tile Wallpaper design is a clever way to introduce the look and feel of the real thing without the big spend. 

Order this white wallpaper design in peel and stick and transform the bare walls in your kitchen or bathroom in one weekend. 

You can order a sample size of this wallpaper too, so you can see how you feel about it in one of the above-mentioned rooms before you commit to the whole thing.

22. New Spirit Concrete Wallpaper

This neutral wallpaper design is a great way to get a concrete look on your walls without risking a concrete effect paint. And take it from us, we’ve seen concrete paint done right and also done not-so-well. So if you’re feeling wary, wallpaper is the answer!

Avoid possibly paint blunders with the moody New Spirit Concrete Wallpaper, which would look most at-home in a room with a contemporary or industrial aesthetic going on.

23. Simplemente Puntos Wallpaper

Who knew polka dots could be so chic? The Simplemente Puntos Wallpaper above certainly proves that this somewhat playful design can work successfully outside of a kids room.

We love teaming its playful nature with a more traditional wainscoting to create balance, but you could run wild with it on a wall in your little one’s room too. It’s more versatile than you think!

24. Laub Small Scale Leaves Wallpaper

The Laub Small Scale Leaves Wallpaper features a fine and intricate pattern that becomes more noticeable when up-close. That means it’s a neutral wallpaper that’s able to blend seamlessly into the background. 

This wallpaper a great supporting player in the space, allowing furniture, artwork or a rug to be the focal points. It’s there to complete the style story for you, not fight for your attention.

25. Luciano Texture Wallpaper

What’s not to love about an Italian wallpaper that’s unapologetically tactile (the sort of wallpaper you just wanna touch!)?

The Luciano Texture Wallpaper features a beautiful fabric effect finish, making it soft and luxurious. And the colour; so easy on the eye.

A vinyl wallpaper like this has no place on one wall either; you need to fully wrap him around the room. It would be criminal not to!

26. Petal Wallpaper

Add a subtle accent to your walls with the Petal Wallpaper in grey and white from Wallpaper Direct.

This wallpaper features a beautiful grid of white petal-inspired fleur-de-lis, and a stunning light grey background. This wallpaper would look absolutely divine installed in a hallway, or a small wall in a powder room or laundry.

27. Magnolia Sketch Wallpaper

It’s no secret that we love a bit of monochromatic drama here at TLC Interiors, which is why we’re chuffed to introduce you to the Magnolia Sketch Wallpaper. Neutral, sure. Boring, absolutely not!

This stunner of a grey and white wallpaper is not for the faint hearted, but rather the daring and gutsy. And you can be daring and gutsy, right?

We must advise though: it would be best applied as a feature wall rather than a full wrap. We don’t want too much of a good thing, after all.

28. Chevron Classic Wallpaper

Check out this Chevron Classic Wallpaper that screams geometric goodness. Not only is the pattern amazing, but the neutral, creamy colourway makes this design easy to work into almost any design style at home.

This versatile wallpaper would work beautifully as a feature wall in a bedroom, full wrap in a kids spaces, or in a laundry; the options are pretty endless really.

29. Gingham Check Wallpaper

We love this Gingham Check Wallpaper because it gives off such a sense of charm and nostalgia. Apply it to a feature wall behind your headboard, as seen above, and enjoy the wistful vibes it brings to your bedroom.

The other amazing thing about this wallpaper is that it’s completely customisable. If the shade above isn’t the perfect fit for you, the team at Grafico can change it. Same goes for the size and scale of the check too. We love.

30. Fold Wallpaper

Ending our roundup of amazing beige, grey and white wallpaper ideas is the alluring Fold Wallpaper design from Milton & King.

Calling upon two traditional art techniques, shibori and origami, it’s an interesting pattern teamed with a subtle tone. Minimalist but texture-filled, this paper strikes the perfect balance.

It comes in four colours and ships quickly too. Hello weekend wall makeover!
