Wallpaper has been with us through it all: from the heavy florals and damask patterns of the Victorian era, to the geometric flair of mid-century modern, to the maximalist psychedelia of the 1970s and the refined minimalism of the 1990s – it’s seen every trend come and go. As design tastes shifted towards muted colour palettes and beige walls, we said au revoir to wallpaper, but only for a brief moment. Now, in 2025, wallpaper has returned with a whole new attitude.

Top wallpaper trends of 2025

In 2025, bold expression and nostalgic touches are taking over the world of interiors, so it’s no surprise that wallpaper is once again at the forefront of stunning design.

As maximalism continues to flourish, stripes, block prints, and bold colours set the mood. Tactile wallpapers made from natural fibres such as cork and linen also prove that depth and warmth are setting the tone. Plus, with a heritage revival getting a modern makeover, we’re seeing a growing interest in classic prints with reimagined colour palettes, inspired by the likes of William Morris. Our favourite styling trick? As Morris himself put it: “Have nothing in your houses that you do not know to be useful, or believe to be beautiful.” For us in 2025, wallpaper has become a beautiful and intentional statement.
