Grey wallpaper: Versatile for individual accents

With grey wallpaper, you can realise the most diverse furnishing styles. Although grey initially appears very plain and supposedly monotonous, it can also create unusual effects in room design. For example, plain grey wallpaper can be combined with almost all other colour tones and wall art. 

In addition, dark grey wallpaper can also appear very serious and is therefore ideal for very elegant interiors and furnishings with a certain cultivated, sophisticated chic. For a baroque look, why not check out the grey damask wallpaper, for example, which provides a little extravagance.

If you prefer something a little more modern and contemporary, you can go for various natural and material looks. The colour grey can also be associated with city life and metropolises so that a very art deco, urban and hip interior can be created with grey retro wallpaper. For example, go for the trendy wallpaper in concrete look or metal looks for a feature wall and create a modern ambience in industrial style or shabby chic.

However, a grey wallpaper does not always have to be serious and straightforward or modern and urban, but can also provide some very light and fresh touches. Delicate geometric designs in textile looks can be found in Scandinavian pale grey wallpaper, while eye-catching graphic designs provide a little Seventies flair. 

Floral or exotic decors such as jungle and palm tree wallpapers, on the other hand, enchant with a charmingly nostalgic look in a grey colour palette in our wallpaper range. Or why not go for grey brick wallpaper, for that grungy brick effect? So, if you choose grey bedroom wallpaper or grey living room wallpaper, the choices at your disposal are endless!

HIGH-QUALITY GREY WALLPAPER 

A grey wallpaper is available in various materials, qualities and compositions. So here, too, you are faced with a choice when it comes to designing walls with grey wallpaper in a particularly tasteful way. 

Basically, a distinction is made between the backing side, i.e. the back of the grey wallpaper and the surface. The material of the backing is either paper or non-woven. Paper wallpaper is not only very inexpensive but is also a sustainable alternative and ensures a good room climate thanks to its good breathability.

Non-woven wallpaper is somewhat more robust and, thanks to its excellent dimensional stability, is very easy to apply to the wall and also effortless to remove again. In addition, non-woven wallpaper is also suitable for the kitchen or bathroom thanks to its water resistance and air and vapour permeability. A grey wallpaper can have different surfaces, with a vinyl coating providing ideal durability.

VINYL GREY WALLPAPER

Vinyl wallpaper is a very durable and long-lasting type of wallpaper. Here, vinyl that has been heated and foamed several times is applied to a non-woven backing, which not only provides a special look and feel but also makes the thick grey wallpaper scratch and impact resistant. Since the vinyl wallpaper is also very abrasion-resistant and water-resistant, you can also use it as kitchen wallpaper or bathroom wallpaper. 

In the bathroom, however, you should ensure regular airing when applying vinyl wallpaper. Thanks to its good light resistance, however, you can also apply your new grey wallpaper in rooms with constant incidence of light without having to worry about a possible loss of colour intensity.

TEXTURED GREY WALLPAPER: FOR ALL OCCASIONS

With grey textured wallpaper, you can choose between a non-woven or paper backing. So you can choose between easy application and a sustainable and inexpensive alternative. Here, too, you will often find a coating of vinyl, which, however, has not been processed quite as elaborately as with vinyl wallpaper and is therefore not quite as hard-wearing. However, you can also clean this grey contemporary wallpaper carefully with a damp cloth and apply it in brighter rooms thanks to its good light resistance.

STRAIGHT TO THE NEW LOOK: APPLYING A GREY WALLPAPER TO THE WALL

Depending on the chosen backing material of your new wallpaper in grey, the application differs slightly. Regardless of the backing material, you choose, however, you will only need the usual commercial utensils. Some of these you will find in our wallpaper tools category, so that you can conveniently order everything from the same place. 

Before you order your grey wallpaper in our online shop, it is best to measure your walls. We recommend that you plan for at least one additional roll, especially if you choose a patterned wallpaper with a staggered approach.

Cut the wallpaper strips according to the dimensions of your walls and add about five centimetres at the top and bottom. You can cut this off exactly at the edge of the wall later to create a neat finish. Mix the paste without lumps if possible and make sure that your walls are smooth and dry, otherwise, unevenness could show up unsightly on the wallpaper or the wallpaper will not adhere well to the wall. 

Depending on the backing material of your wallpaper in grey, the paste must now be applied either to the wall or to the wallpaper. In the case of patterned wallpaper with a staggered approach, note that the grey wallpaper must be applied alternately upwards or downwards by the staggered amount.

APPLYING NON-WOVEN GREY WALLPAPER TO THE WALL

A particular advantage of non-woven wallpaper is that you can apply the paste directly to the wall. This not only saves you from soaking the wallpaper strips, but also from having to set up wallpapering tables. Use the following steps to apply your new grey non-woven wallpaper to the wall:

1. Spread the paste as evenly as possible on the wall with a tassel, although you should not yet work the entire wall surface, otherwise, the paste will dry prematurely in the rear area.
2. It is best to start wallpapering in the upper left corner. Take the first strip of wallpaper and lay it exactly along the edge of the wall and ceiling.
3. Using a wallpaper brush or sponge, smooth the grey wallpaper onto the wall from top to bottom.
4. Proceed in the same way with the following strips, whereby you should make sure when choosing a patterned wallpaper that the pattern interlocks perfectly.
5. You should quickly wipe off any excess paste on the wallpaper and you can make minor corrections such as removing scars or air bubbles using a scar roller and a pressure roller.

APPLYING GREY PAPER WALLPAPER TO THE WALL

With a paper wallpaper, a little more care is needed when applying it due to the more delicate material. Since the wallpaper strips need to soak with the paste for about five to ten minutes, a grey paper wallpaper can tear more quickly. Make sure you use approximately the same amount of paste for each strip of wallpaper and keep the soaking time approximately the same. Use the following steps to apply your new grey paper wallpaper to the wall:

1. Spread the paste as evenly as possible with a tassel on the first strip of wallpaper. This is when the soaking time begins.
2. Carefully fold the wallpaper strip into a small package by placing backing side to backing side and surface to surface. The wallpaper should not be folded!
3. During the soaking time, you can start working on the next strip.
4. As soon as the soaking time of the first strip of wallpaper has elapsed, you can attach it to the wall. To do this, firstly unfold only the upper part and brush it onto the wall with a wallpaper brush or sponge. Only when the upper part adheres well do you apply the lower part as well.
5. Here, too, you should pay attention to the chosen design for the following strips.
6. Smaller corrections can now be made with a grain roller and a pressure roller.
