If you’ve been craving a home refresh, these wallpaper trends are here to spark inspiration. Bringing more texture, more personality, and more intentional design moments into your home. (Sometimes in the most unexpected places!)
Let’s start with the trends that are on their way out.
To be clear: we are by no means the design police. Style is cyclical, and the “right” look is always the one you love living with. However, there have been a few clear shifts we’ve been spotting from social media, to what’s inspiring interior designers and what our customers are actually ordering.
That said, here are are a few styles we can bid adieu.

Designers are leaning into layered prints across wallpaper, upholstery and textiles to create a collected look that feels like it evolved over time. To pull off a tasteful pattern clash (without it becoming an all out war) pick one statement wallpaper and find softer pattern companions for pillows, rugs and curtains.
You can even pick two or three designs from the same artist wallpaper collection to make cohesion a no-brainer. You could pick one print for your walls, a second print to line a bookshelf and a third print as wall art from the same collection for pattern-on-pattern perfection.

Textured wallcoverings – especially faux grasscloth – are trending because they add dimension in a way paint simply can’t. The subtle weave catches the light, gives walls a more “finished” look, and elevates a space without screaming for attention. And with linen wallpaper entering the chat, this swing toward tactile, natural-looking surfaces is only picking up speed for 2026.
Faux grasscloth is perfect for bedrooms, hallways and home offices that you want to look quietly luxe. Case in point: our friend Preston Konrad’s foyer transformation.

Designers are rediscovering this classic pattern’s potential, using it to bring timeless character to a space without feeling overly retro.
The key update? Softer color palettes. Think: creams, browns, sages and pinks that add maturity and warmth. You still get that satisfying rhythm from checkerboard wallpaper, just without the dizzying black-on-white visual effect.

Wallpapering the ceiling is an instant showstopper. It changes the way a space feels by lifting the eye and creating an immersive effect – just look at the impact it makes in interior decorator Sami Riccioli’s living room. We're obsessed! It’s the perfect move when you want a statement without taking up any square footage.

Cool grays, stark whites and boring beiges are giving way to warmer neutrals with a little extra spice. Neutrals with hints of peach, olive or tobacco are favored to flat, soulless grays. The result are spaces that feel softer, cozier and more lived-in.

These wall flowers are not wallflowers, anymore. Big botanicals are bringing the drama in 2026. Mural-sized blooms feel more like immersive artwork than a repeating pattern. The larger scale creates instant impact and feels more modern than the floral wallpaper at grandma’s house.

Block print and damask-inspired wallpaper strikes the perfect balance between traditional craftsmanship and modern ease. It has that human, handmade charm with old world motifs and an imperfect repeat that feels storied rather than mass-produced. And because it’s available in peel-and-stick wallpaper, you get the heritage look without the high-commitment install.

The year’s wallpaper trends are all about more depth, more warmth and more personality in unexpected places. Tactile textures are in and flat, shiny walls are out. Accent ceilings are the new accent walls. Cool, sterile neutrals are softening into warm, complex tones. Home decorators and DIYers are braver and bolder than ever – with patterns like checkerboard, block print and oversized murals taking center stage. And in 2026, our hot take is “unique” is the new luxury. More folks are looking for small-batch wallpaper patterns that feel one-of-one with their design, scale and customization.
