Black and white wallpaper can come in a wide variety of designs. Black and white looks very classic and serious and is therefore particularly well suited for restrained but elegant interiors. Especially the classic black and white striped wallpaper plays with the contrast of light and dark and conjures up very stylish accents without appearing obtrusive. If you do like it a little more ostentatious, you will also find more opulent decors in our online shop, such as luxurious baroque black and white wallpaper, which creates a unique symbiosis of historical charm and urbanity and modernity in rooms with modern furnishings.

In addition to classic patterns, black and white wallpaper also convinces with more unusual designs. Since black and white can be used universally and the patterns are shown off to their best advantage by the striking contrast, almost any pattern is possible here. Black and white flower wallpapers are also very tasteful, with dynamic designs that form an exciting contrast to the cool colour tones. In addition, a rich selection of different abstract decors, geometric wallpapers, graphic designs as well as design wallpapers with all imaginable patterns awaits you. Thanks to its classic elegance, a black and white wallpaper often exudes a slightly nostalgic flair and historical charm, which comes into its own particularly well with black and white wall murals.

Materials of a black and white wallpaper: classic elegance in high quality

Your new black and white wallpaper can be made of a wide variety of materials. Basically, however, a distinction is made between the backing material, i.e. the back of the wallpaper, which is decisive for the application, and the surface of your black and white wallpaper, which is decisive for the respective care and appearance. The backing material of your new black and white wallpaper is either non-woven or paper, whereby non-woven wallpaper is a somewhat more robust variant. In addition to its low price, a paper wallpaper is characterised by sustainability and good breathability, which ensures a good room climate.

Non-woven wallpaper consists of textile and cellulose fibres that make your black and white wallpaper particularly dimensionally stable. This means that you can apply the black and white wallpaper to the wall quickly and easily. In addition, non-woven wallpaper is very robust, so you can also use it as bathroom or kitchen wallpaper without any problems, as it is water-resistant and permeable to air and vapour. In addition, non-woven wallpaper is flame-retardant and can be easily removed from the wall if you should decide to buy a new black and white wallpaper from our online shop.

Vinyl wallpaper: the hard-wearing black and white wallpaper

Vinyl wallpaper is a non-woven backing onto which a coating of vinyl that has been heated and foamed several times is applied. This coating not only ensures a special look and feel of the black and white wallpaper but also makes it very hard-wearing and durable. This means you can also apply vinyl wallpaper in rooms where the walls are subject to heavy use, as it is very scratch and impact resistant. And vinyl wallpaper is also suitable for the bathroom or kitchen because it is water-resistant and scrub-resistant. In the bathroom, however, you should ensure regular airing due to the higher density of the material. Thanks to its good light resistance, however, you can also apply vinyl wallpaper in the conservatory or other rooms with increased sunlight without fearing a loss of colour intensity.

Textured wallpaper: the versatile black and white wallpaper

With textured wallpaper, the backing material is either non-woven or paper. So you have the choice between easy application or a cheaper alternative. With a textured wallpaper, you will often also find a vinyl coating, but this is not quite as elaborately processed as with a vinyl wallpaper and is therefore not quite as hard-wearing. However, you can also clean a textured wallpaper carefully with a damp cloth and apply it in rooms with high sunlight.

Putting up a black and white wallpaper on the wall

To apply a black and white wallpaper to the wall, you only need the usual commercial utensils, some of which you will find in our online shop in the category "wallpapering tools", so that you can conveniently take everything from one hand. However, you should note that the application of your new black and white wallpaper differs slightly depending on the chosen backing material. Regardless of the backing material, however, you should first measure your walls to be able to order the right number of wallpaper rolls in our online shop. It is advisable, especially when choosing pattern wallpapers, to plan at least one roll more to prevent any possible offcuts.

Cut the wallpaper strips according to your wall dimensions and add about five centimetres at the top and bottom, which you can later cut off exactly at the edge of the wall. If you have chosen a patterned wallpaper with a staggered approach, the black and white wallpaper must be offset upwards and downwards by the staggered approach. Mix the paste according to the package instructions and avoid the formation of lumps. Before you start wallpapering your black and white wallpaper, you should also make sure that your walls are as smooth and dry as possible so that the wallpaper does not come off the wall or show any unevenness on the wallpaper.

Apply a non-woven black and white wallpaper to the wall

The special advantage of non-woven wallpaper is that you can paint the paste directly onto the wall. This saves you both soaking the wallpaper strips and setting up wallpapering tables. Use the following steps to apply black and white non-woven wallpaper to the wall:

Spread the paste as evenly as possible on the wall with a tassel, not yet covering the entire wall surface, so that the paste does not dry prematurely in the back area.
Ideally, start wallpapering in the upper corner of the wall. Lay the first strip of your black and white wallpaper exactly against the wall and the ceiling edge of the wall you have worked on with the paste.
Use a wallpaper brush or sponge to smooth the wallpaper strip against the wall from top to bottom.
Proceed in the same way with the following strips, although if you choose a patterned wallpaper you should make sure that the pattern interlocks perfectly.
Wipe off any excess paste on the wallpaper quickly.
If any scars or air bubbles have formed, you can now smooth them out with a scar roller and a pressure roller.

Apply a black and white paper wallpaper to the wall

When applying a paper black and white wallpaper, a little more caution is required, as the wallpaper strips must be soaked with the paste for about five to ten minutes here. This makes the material a little more sensitive. To achieve a professional result, you should keep the soaking time of the individual strips about the same and use approximately the same amount of paste. Use the following steps to apply black and white paper wallpaper to the wall:

Use a tassel to spread the paste as evenly as possible on the first strip of wallpaper.
Carefully lay the strip of wallpaper that has been worked with the paste into a small package, with the backing side and surface touching (the wallpaper should not be folded). From this point on, the soaking time begins.
During the soaking time of the first wallpaper strip, you can already work on the next strips.
As soon as the soaking time of the first strip of wallpaper has elapsed, you can apply it to the wall.
Start by applying your black and white bathroom wallpaper in the upper corner of the room.
First, unfold only the upper side of the wallpaper strip and brush it onto the wall from top to bottom with a wallpaper brush or sponge.
Only when the upper part of the wallpaper adheres well, unfold the lower part and paint it onto the wall from top to bottom.
Proceed in the same way with the following strips of black and white geometric wallpaper, paying attention to the respective design.
Wipe off any excess paste from the wallpaper quickly.
Any scars or air bubbles can be smoothed out with a scar roller and a pressure roller.
