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.

We aren’t afraid of introducing color this time around and playing up the prettiest of florals for our upholstering or even wallpaper! With just a few small changes, you can quickly and easily transform your room from dull and dated to a bright, fresh and inviting space the whole family will enjoy.

Try a Nature Inspired Wall Mural

How else would you bring the outdoors in than with adding some foliage to the walls? No, we don’t mean digging out the old ivy leaf wall stencil; these days, there’s much more elegant and sleek looking options available. You don’t need to be an artist, or hire a pro to paint you a whole wall mural, there’s an easy way around it – wallpaper! Take this forest wall mural from Oldrids & Downton, for example. The wallpaper is super easy to apply and creates a great “window” to the outdoors in a room lacking a great view, or natural sunlight.

Use Chunky, Rustic Furniture

When it comes to furniture, you should stay away from man-made items like futuristic metal TV stands. For the naturalistic room, you should invest in traditional wooden furniture — the chunkier the better! A simple, rustic style table like this one from Pier One Imports is super sturdy and rugged masking any future nicks and dents. Combined with the forest wall mural, it’s a great way to enhance the natural look and feel of the room.

Remember to Accessorize!

Of course, you’ll need to soften the room with some cushions and throws to make the room inviting and comfortable. When choosing your soft furnishings, you should be looking to tie the whole room together. Mismatching prints are on-trend at the moment, so select a variety of style cushions in varying uplifting, bright hues to welcome in the warm summer months.

It’s all in the Details!

To add the finishing touches to your room, you’ll need to invest in a variety of ornaments and knick-knacks. Sticking with the outdoors theme, try to choose cute, unusual items that wouldn’t look out of place like various vases, statues, plates, and even rocks! Try a pretty paperweight made from Amethyst rock for a glamorous but natural touch!
