Blue Wallpaper: Shades, Styles & How to Make It Yours
The Most Loved Colour of All
Ask people their favourite colour and, more often than not, the answer is blue. It's the colour of the sky and the sea, of calm and of confidence — endlessly versatile, universally flattering, and at home in every room of the house. From the softest powder blue to the deepest navy, blue brings a room a sense of space, serenity and quiet elegance. It is, quite simply, the easiest colour to live with.
At Claret & Key, blue is never a compromise. Because every design is drawn in-house and printed to order in your chosen colour way, you choose the exact blue you want — and any of our designs can be made in it. Your shade, your pattern, made especially for you in our Cheshire studio.
A shade for every mood
Blue's great gift is its range. A light, sky or powder blue feels fresh, airy and calming. A rich navy is smart, deep and sophisticated. Teal, poised between blue and green, brings a jewel-like richness. Aqua and turquoise feel bright and uplifting. And a bold cobalt or royal blue makes a confident statement. Whether you want soft and serene or deep and dramatic, there's a blue for it, and we'll print your design in precisely that tone.
Where blue works
Blue suits every room. In a bedroom, it's calming and restful. In a kitchen, a blue and white scheme feels fresh and characterful. In a living room, a deep navy brings a settled, elegant depth. And in a hallway or study, blue lends a smart, considered edge. Blue's natural coolness makes it a lovely choice for a bright, sunny room, and its depth can make a smaller space feel cocooning rather than cramped.
Choosing your blue
Because we print to order, the shade is entirely yours — and blue reads very differently by daylight and lamplight, so it's worth choosing carefully. Every design comes in three finishes: Traditional (150gsm, super-matte), Heavy-Grade (300gsm) and Removable peel-and-stick (180gsm), all printed on FSC-approved, PVC- and VOC-free paper.
Order a sample and see your blue in your own light, morning and evening, before you commit.
We are totally in love with our new wallpaper for our lounge. It arrived quickly and in excellent quality. We are already looking for our next design 🥰
Absolutely love this wallpaper, needed 4 rolls for the room but completely worth it. Absolutely stunning and excellent to use. Not a fan of wallpapering but this felt so easy because it’s thick so more manageable and blended smoothly
This window seat has never had much personality, and the blue cabinets have always needed an accent that ties them to the overall space. The Amelia pattern was perfect, and the removable wallpaper was very forgiving as I learned how best to line things up well. I’m very happy with the result!
I got the Esme with Background: Calm Breeze
Pattern: Lilypad for my bedroom and absolutely Love it! Very gorgeous! My contractor said the paper was really good quality and, when he put it up, it didn't curl at all. Will definitely order from Clare & Key again.
This was my first attempt at hanging wallpaper. Luckily, our walls were fairly square. I have no comparison, but I found this paper very user friendly. I would gladly shop with you again, and intend to hang more paper in future. Thank you!
The quality is amazing , the personalisation of your name on the rolls added to special feel of it all , the ability to change colours and make it your own , It is beyond perfect and would definitely order again
I have wallpapered for many clients and this by far was one of the easiest wallpapers I have installed. I put this wallpaper in my own dining room to add some color. It is a pretty smokey blue with white leaves. I'm so pleased with how it turned out. I prefer the type that you put the paste on the wall since it is easier to adjust and match the pattern.
This was my first time with putting up any wallpaper and the peel and stick was super easy for a beginner like me. Love that it feels like paper and not plastic like others I’ve seen.
Beautiful design and so glad we could customize the colors.
I would recommend your company to anyone and I will be ordering from you again for other rooms in the home.
Beautiful wallpaper and so easy to work with too as I did the wallpapering myself! Absolutely thrilled with the final look having gone from pale grey and white to the vibrant Ophelia!
