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.
I love how everything turned out and the price point was great. It was a bit challenging to piece together. Being from the USA, it was kind of a challenge to convert all the measurements to figure out how many rolls I needed and then where to cut the rolls to line up the images based on the design repetition. Luckily, I had plenty of wallpaper to work with on the roll.
Absolutely beautiful design and texture. Got the heavy duty wallpaper and put it up without any previous wallpaper experience and it went up very easily and beautifully. Definitely recommend.
Extremely helpful and supportive when I needed advice on measurements, with fast delivery too. The quality of the wallpaper is excellent, and I’m really pleased with the overall service. Highly recommended!
Gorgeous wallpaper, but the measuring option on the website left us short by 1 roll. Had to order another one but when it came the colour match was perfect. Thankfully I wasn’t paying for a decorator, otherwise would have been disappointed in having to pay for them to return. Otherwise great quality wallpaper and design compared to other similar products available.
First purchase from claret and key and truly impressed. Beautiful quality wallpaper. Pretty yet not too fussy. Easy to hang, cut and match. Would work in any room
Good tracking and delivery service too.
Definitely recommend and would reuse for future projects.
Everything went really good. Apart from the quality of the wallpaper which is fantastic, the staff were exemplary in their communications, friendliness and professionalism. They really did go the extra mile to help me.
A great experience all round.
Thank you.

Lovely pattern and paper quality.
However, I wish that I had paid more attention to the roll width measurement.
For some strange reason your paper is narrower than a standard roll. This caused me a great deal of problems when papering my lobby, a small area but that made it more difficult because I was left with a narrow space to fill on 3 walls with a very long drop.
Although I love the paper I probably wouldn't use it again just for this reason.
Why you would produce paper not of a standard width is for you to know and me to wonder but it has made my small project very difficult.
Used this paper to make a dark study cosier. Absolutely loved the colour - the background is a perfect match to our existing panelling painted in Farrow and Ball Old White. First time using paste the wall and it was a revelation so easy and much less mess. Quality of the paper is great but noted the rolls are slightly narrower than most wallpapers. Loved the pattern match which meant little waste what we had left we used to recover some old box files which was easy. I thoroughly recommend.
Great quality wallpaper! The print is beautiful, the wallpaper is thick, and fairly easy to install. Our small area took about an hour and a half because we had a lot of of awkward cuts.
Will definitely be using this brand again!
The paper was just hung and we are thrilled.
The quality of the paper, ease of working with it, (per the paper hangers), your customer service, all were exceptional. We will be ordering again. Thank you!!
Fabulous wallpaper and excellent customer service. This Bronte wallpaper has given my kitchen a new lease of life. Will definitely buy from here again.
