The finest seasonal wallpaper trends

There’s never been a more exciting time in the interior design landscape. Big statement murals are surging, feature ceilings have officially landed, and 70s revival is well underway.

But which of this season’s trends are here to stay? And which are passing fads soon to be lost in the annals of design history.

In this article, we’ll take a look at our favourite seasonal trends from a handful of luxury wallcovering makers. We’ll also offer tips on how to style them with your wider interior and showcase spectacular photos to get your creative juices flowing!

1. Oil painting perfection

This tranquil landscape painting-inspired mural uses an 1800’s John Constable oil painting to create a soft blend of delicate pinks, blues, and oranges. It evokes feelings of a warm sunrise while working to create an airy space in any room. Pairs with minimalist furniture, off-whites, and subtle browns to bring out the delicate hues.

2. No-fuss fabrics

Fabric wallcoverings are the perfect way to add texture and depth. This Redondo covering uses simple dots to add intrigue while remaining understated. Pictured here in a living space with gold accessories, this covering would work equally well in a bathroom with brushed brass fittings and white tiling.

3. Colour Drenching dreams

Using a single hue across an entire room might sound like overkill at first, but colour drenching can produce wonderful results when pulled off tastefully. This Bumblebee wallpaper pairs with Cooks Blue to create a cohesive space that pops in every direction you look. Extending areas like a feature wall onto features such as ceiling beams is a fantastic way to tie the room together.

4. Fantastical feature ceilings

Speaking of ceilings, who said feature walls have to be vertical? Feature ceilings are growing in popularity as a novel way to keep every surface interesting. This Celestial Atlas covering is inspired by the ceiling at New York Grand Central Station and pairs wonderfully with subtle beiges and monochromatic murals to create a magical effect.

5. Far eastern extravagance

Japanese-inspired prints in western homes are nothing new, but it’s amazing to see modern interpretations by contemporary luxury wallcovering manufacturers. This hand-illustrated Peacock Mural is just one example, balancing muted mustard yellow with an intricate design to bring a sense of mysterious far away wonder into the home. This is complemented excellently by natural wood flooring and brown or deep red upholstery. 

6. Handwoven wonder

We’ve looked at mild fabric wallcoverings, but what about wild ones? Hand-embroidered Flora creates an unmissable statement wall fusing royal blues with passionate deep reds. Meanwhile, gold detailing ties everything together. A covering like this would look just as mesmerising with pale blue surrounding walls in addition to the red shown below.
