Every year, there are so many new designs trends that come and go making it sometimes impossible to keep up! The wallpaper trends that will be showering designer homes around the globe next year are here to stay – for a while. Think light-reflecting metallic wallpapers, walls that are bursting with colorful blooms, and one of my favorites – vintage baroque styled prints. Whatever your style, if you are re-decorating a room, you will surely love your new design for years to come.

Flora and Fauna

Decorating your home with nature is trendy, and will always be trendy. Get ready to see lots of floral textiles and designs as well as blossoming landscapes for walls. Fruity, crisp, exotic and delicate botanic wallpapers are going to be all over the place next year. Choose orchid blossoms, chinoiserie, or even tropical palm leaves for your walls – you sure won’t go wrong with this trend!

Metallic and Oxidized

Copper, silver, and gold motifs and perfect in making a space feel greater and deeper. Think metallic wallpapers that reflect light all over the place. Every change of light reveals new details of the wallpaper and looks down right glamorous!

Create Another World

A fun, and exciting way to make your room seem like it’s in another world is with a wall mural. Wall murals like the ones from YourWalls will continue to be a popular and fun way to create a whimsical, imaginary ambiance in a room – perfect for children’s bedrooms!

Mystic and Charming

These wallpapers are inspired by artistic and stylistic periods of the past – opulence, stylish, and exquisite with a touch of glamour. Think shabby chic, damask, baroque-inspired designs, and flowers. Colors like azure-gold, violet, ivory, petrol blue, and turquoise bronze capture the spirit and enduring charm of the past.

You only have to flick through any current home and lifestyle magazine to realise that many homeowners are now getting much more creative about how they cover the walls of their houses, and a tin of paint simply won’t do. From wall murals to wainscot cladding, there are plenty of ways to get creative and create the wow factor.

Go metallic

If you are looking for a modern twist, metallic wall covering is proving to be a popular alternative to paint. Use it to make an accent wall or find a less shiny material and wrap your whole room up in metallic!

Metallic wallpaper is really just a shiny plant fibre with a metallic thread running through it. The fibre is applied to dense wallpaper and overlaid with a finish to provide a greater level of durability.

Personalise your Walls

Thanks to modern printing technology, you can now get wall murals printed that are highly personal and unique. If you have a favourite scene captured on a photo or want a picture of someone special, you can get it printed out as a wallpaper, to make a special and unique décor statement.

The Warmth of Wood

Wood panelling can quickly turn a house into a home and wainscot cladding can definitely help you to achieve this feeling. Wainscot cladding is a softwood material that also insulates your home and can be stained to blend in with the rest of your décor.

Removable Wallpaper

If you like to change up your décor often or are renting a place, removable wallpaper gives you some flexible makeover solutions without the need to reach for a tin of paint. Removable wallpaper is a great option and it’s peelable, making it easy-to remove and put on somewhere else.

Hanging Wall Art

Another option to consider which really just covers up your walls is hanging up wall art. Consider creating a montage of art and photos that is hung up in a way that is interesting and personal to your style and family life. How about a whole saloon style wall covered in family photos? What about creating a family tree on the wall? Use your creativity and make something special!

Fabric

Attaching fabric to your wall is fast and easy to do, but it costs a lot more than actual paint. If you are able to afford it, make sure you are happy with the design before you take the plunge. You can also consider hanging up a tapestry using rods or Velcro strips to add character and an medieval antique-charm to your space.
