Purple Wallpapers

Why choose a wallpaper in purple?

Purple occupies the sweet spot between warm reds and cool blues, so it can deliver either tranquillity or drama. Light purple wallpaper soothes bedrooms and nurseries, while deep eggplant or black and purple wallpaper becomes a striking feature wall in cinemas and living rooms. With more pigment depth than greys and more sophistication than pastels, purple wallpapers let you experiment with personality without repainting the whole house.

Popular styles & finishes

• Aesthetic purple wallpaper: Soft gradients, marble effects or dreamy watercolours suit modern apartments and teenage retreats.
• Cute purple wallpaper: Think butterflies, florals or Minnie Mouse purple wallpaper—ideal for kids’ spaces that can evolve as they grow.
• Textured vinyls: Durable, scrub-resistant and perfect for high-traffic corridors.
• Grasscloth & silk blends: Luxurious tactility for master suites and boutique hotels.
• Metallic accents: Subtle silver or gold threads amplify light in darker plum shades.

Material options at a glance

Most purple wallpapers on ArchiPro come in three core substrates:

• Non-woven fibre – breathable, easy to hang and remove; ideal for DIY.
• Vinyl-coated paper – moisture resistant; use in kitchens or powder rooms.
• Solid vinyl – ultra-washable with enhanced colourfastness; popular for commercial sites.

Measuring & roll calculations

1. Measure wall height (in metres) minus skirting and cornice.
2. Measure total wall length.
3. Add 10 % for trimming and pattern matching—more if the repeat is over 60 cm.
4. Divide by the roll coverage shown on each product page to determine quantity.

Unsure? Our suppliers will double-check calculations before dispatch so you avoid under-ordering.

Performance & compliance

Purple wallpapers must perform as beautifully as they look. Confirm the following with your supplier:

• Washability – specified as spongeable, washable or scrubbable.
• Lightfastness – ratings of ≥5 prevent fading in sunny Australian climates.
• Fire rating – commercial projects may require Group 1–3 classifications. Refer to the National Construction Code (NCC) for exact obligations.

Installation tips

Surface prep

Remove old coverings, fill dents and apply a primer–sealer tinted to a similar purple hue to avoid white seams.

Hanging method

Most non-woven purple wallpapers use paste-the-wall technology. Align the first drop perfectly plumb; pattern-match subsequent strips; smooth with a plastic spatula to prevent air bubbles.

Aftercare

Wipe light marks with a damp microfibre cloth. For vinyl, a mild detergent is acceptable; avoid abrasives.

Cost spectrum

• Entry level paper-backed prints: AU$45–$80 per roll.
• Mid-range non-woven embossed designs: AU$90–$150.
• Premium grasscloth, silk or bespoke mural: AU$180–$450.

Pricing excludes adhesive and labour (AU$30–$70 /m² depending on complexity).

Styling ideas

Pair light lavender wallpaper with whitewashed timber floors for a Scandinavian look, or team dark purple wallpapers with brass fittings and decorative plaster ceilings for Art Deco glamour. A plum feature wall beside timber wall coverings brings warmth to office pods, while a whimsical flower wallpaper purple print can be balanced with tactile wall fabrics on adjoining panels.
