Wallpaper, in our humble opinion, has always “been that girl, is still that girl and will forever be that girl.” The wallpaper trends of 2025 prove that—this year’s trends are all about making walls the star of the show. Say goodbye to plain painted walls because designers are going all in with fresh patterns, whimsical prints, and textures that practically beg to be touched.
These new introductions have every room of your home covered...literally. From grasscloths, earthy hues, and leafy prints so lush you’ll swear you can smell the greenery to kid-focused prints that are anything but babyish. Think hand-sketched storybook scenes, playful doodles, and dreamy watercolors that spark creativity and look stylish as kids grow. If you love timeless designs but want something new, reimagined classics—like bold, festive checks and stripes and modern takes on toile—are shaking up tradition in the best way. And for those who believe more is more, maximalist embellishments and shimmering metallic accents are making walls feel like actual works of art.
It's clear wallcoverings are here to stay in a big way. So whether you’re looking to add a dose of charm to a kid’s room, bring a modern twist to a classic motif, or embrace the beauty of nature (without the maintenance of actual plants), there’s a wallpaper trend for you. Keep reading for the prints and patterns you’ll want to cover everything in this year.
Traditional print motifs such as checks and stripes are getting a makeover. While we’ll still see plenty of the patterns, interest will be added through color, texture, and reinterpretations like this London Check paper from The Vale London.
It’s no secret that trends have been emerging from our latest food obsessions. Well, consider wall coverings no different. Wallpapers featuring tomato vines, pomegranates, and strawberries are growing in popularity. However, we're partial to this happy hour–worthy grasscloth print from Annie Downing, featuring martini olives.
No more au naturale—sisals are getting a major upgrade. Think dyed colors, intricate patterns, and unexpected elements like this striated, delicately handmade, metallic-coated Kalliste wallcovering by Elitis.
Regional wallpaper collections featuring modern interpretations of authentic Southwestern designs like York Wallcoverings' line inspired by the show Yellowstone and the soon to be released Kravet Couture x Harwood Steiger collection (shown here) have us grabbing our cowboy hats and yearning for adventure.
As a high-impact way to add color and playfulness to any space, it’s no surprise that wallpaper is common for kids' rooms. This vibrant mural from Villa Nova’s new Picturebook II Wallcoverings collection is just one of many dedicated collections of youthful exuberance. It was created in collaboration with internationally renowned children’s book illustrators Frann Preston-Gannon, Christopher Corr, and Yuval Zommer.
Form and flora have combined to create some of our favorite wall coverings of the moment, including this hand-painted creation from Mally Skok Design. Whether it’s orderly floral repeats or the intermixing of the two, we can’t get enough of the delightful display of stripes and flowers.
If your walls could talk, it would be through wallpaper. This year, we will be seeing a lot of imaginative papers that tell unique stories. This lively, circus-themed pattern is a Schumacher archival print design by Vally Wieselthier.
Whether we like it or not, animalcore is on the rise, and it's coming for our walls. This wallpaper trend ranges from innocent, zoo-like scenes, like "Animal Kingdom" from Little Greene's Storybook Papers, to more sophisticated, majestic interpretations.
Embellished walls may not be anything new, but more and more brands are introducing new embroidered wall coverings. Opt for a fantastical, truly three-dimensional wall covering from the innovative Lala Curio or choose a more subtle but equally special design, like this Miro paper adorned with wooden beads from Arte, as a way to include the trend in your space.
One of the trendiest colors right now is ochre. Often utilized in spaces as a contrasting pop of color, you can dedicate a whole wall to the hue with this gorgeous Water Lily print from Josh Greene Design.
Whether it’s a transportive woodland scene or, like in Osborne & Little's Ananda Vana wallpaper, an artful collection of tree varieties such as pines and evergreens, the desire to bring the outdoors in is stronger than ever.
