Wallpaper is the sweet spot between art and paint. Done well, you don’t need anything else to adorn your walls. Simultaneously, it has a bigger effect than a coat of paint. We’re especially excited about this year’s wallpaper trends—because they’re all about reflecting YOU.
Wallpaper trends 2025 are more about creating a statement than they are about blending in. They’re celebrating individuality, texture, and artistry. Wallpapers this year are much about letting your walls tell a story.

Whimsical Patterns
A bit of whimsy and a bit of cheekiness is making way into wallpapers this year. Such fun designs are a great way to amplify character in any space. The options are plenty when it comes to whimsical patterns—
Surreal imagery. Think: floating hot air balloons, enchanted forests, celestial motifs
Illustrative styles. Think: watercolors, artistic brushstrokes
Unexpected elements. Think: mismatched scales, quirky animals
Ideally, you can use whimsical wallpaper in powder rooms (and other small spaces) or for your accent wall in the living room. They’re also a great choice for children’s rooms. Another idea would be using whimsical wallpaper on the ceiling. This creates a dreamy and immersive effect.

Designs in Earthy Hues
Wallpaper trends 2025 aren’t just about patterns; they’re also about colors. This year, the trends for earthy colors in paints will carry over to wallpaper. Muted and neutral hues are becoming the go-to, no matter what the design.
Caramel tones are becoming increasingly popular, and it seems this trend will be continuing into wallpapers this year. Especially so as Pantone has also announced Mocha Mousse, a soft, chocolatey caramel, as their color of the year for 2025.
These are especially becoming famous as people are hoping to bring the outdoors in. Caramel hues are also a great way to achieve a restful and comforting environment in the interior.

Pretty Plaid Patterns
Using stripes always adds a timeless look. But this year, we’re seeing preppy and traditional patterns in wallpaper trends. If busy abstract designs aren’t your thing, go for a design that feels elegant but impactful. Read: plaid patterns.

Palms and Botanicals

In 2025, we’re seeing designs of this style vary from classic prints to more abstract creations. So you can really tailor your wallpaper to your desired aesthetic.
Animal prints have been around for quite some time, but now, they’re bolder than ever. This is because 2025 is seeing a shift towards maximalism, and a unique horticultural wildlife depiction helps with that. Simultaneously, lush and oversized botanical prints are set to bring life to interiors.

Quick and Stylish Solutions
Does a wallpaper or wall mural sound like too much of a commitment? 2025 is also seeing a rise in removable wallpaper, which we often call “peel-and-stick wallpaper”. These wallpapers are easy to install—and equally easy to peel off. So, they’re great for kids’ rooms; they can be updated as the kids’ preferences change from flowers to Barbies. They’re also fantastic for people who like to switch up their home aesthetic with the seasons. Just one free afternoon and some rolled-up sleeves, and you’ll be able to switch the entire aesthetic of your home as you shift from winter to summer or vice versa.
Peel-and-stick wallpapers are also becoming popular because they’re renter-friendly. They don’t damage the walls and help add instant visual interest even to your temporary home.
