Wallpaper is making a major comeback in 2025—but this time, it’s bolder and brighter than ever. The days of gray and beige are disappearing, and we are here for it! Homeowners and interior designers are experimenting with wallpaper to add character, personality, and create different moods in their homes. Read on to discover the current wallpaper trends and our favorite designs this year.
Cottagecore Dream
If you haven’t heard already, the cottagecore trend is in full bloom this year—and interior designers can’t get enough of it! Picture whimsical florals, delicate botanicals, and nostalgic countryside motifs bringing warmth and charm into your home.
Think of beloved cottagecore films like Little Women or The Secret Garden—their enchanting atmospheres have inspired us to reimagine wallpapers filled with dainty wildflowers, woodland creatures, and soft painterly textures. These designs turn any room into a storybook retreat, perfect for nurseries, kitchens, or cozy reading nooks.
Meet our Jemima wallpaper—a timeless gingham design that brings a fresh, airy charm to any space. It’s like capturing the carefree feeling of a summer picnic right inside your home.
If gingham isn’t your style, take a look at our Charlotte wallpaper. Featuring playful illustrations of poppy bouquets layered over soft stripes, this sweet, feminine design adds a whimsical touch to any room.
Vintage Is Back
Nostalgia is big this year, and we couldn’t be happier. Whether it’s 70s geometrics or ornate damasks, designers are reinterpreting these classics with fresher palettes and updated scales, making them feel both timeless and modern. Vintage wallpaper adds warmth and character, perfect for those wanting their interiors to feel storied and layered.

Brighter the Better
The neutral-heavy era of grays and beiges is quickly fading, and 2025 is all about color confidence. Homeowners are embracing playful pinks, energizing greens, sunny yellows, and even bold electric blues. Many are experimenting with pairing these brighter shades with statement designs, adding depth, interest, and personality to their walls. For a balanced look, try combining a vibrant wallpaper with a painted accent wall in one of the colors from the design.

Stripes All the Way
Stripes are one of the most versatile wallpaper styles of 2025. Wide vertical stripes are dominating, offering a traditional, tailored look that elongates walls and adds sophistication. Meanwhile, playful multi-colored stripes are appearing in kids’ spaces and eclectic homes, giving a fresh and contemporary spin to this timeless design. Stripes are also highly customizable, making them a favorite for those seeking both structure and creativity.

Kids’ rooms are moving away from neutral beige and muted tones, embracing color, fun, and imagination. Storybook-inspired wallpapers—think vintage illustrations, woodland creatures, and Christopher Robin-style adventures—are making a big comeback. These playful, nostalgic designs spark creativity and storytelling, turning bedrooms and playrooms into immersive, joyful spaces that both children and adults can enjoy.
Our Mabella wallpaper is a prime example, featuring a hand-drawn, vintage-inspired carnival design.
