These wallpaper trends will dominate our interior decoration in the new year

Posted by Anna Cottrell on December 21

These wallpaper trends will provide you with plenty of inspiration to decorate your interior in the new year. Let's face it: we all lack color and fun, and the wallpaper trend in 2022 is a direct response to this need for more fun and color.

In general, the wallpaper design that will become a bestseller next year also follows the home decoration trend predicted in 2022. You can expect to see many bright colors and intricate patterns. This is not the time for shy neutral or safety stripe designs. Get ready to feast on whims and unusual designs-these designs still apply to most homes. 

If there is a way to summarize wallpaper trends in 2022, it is one word: biophilic. Terms that were not really known until about a year ago are now widely used to describe interior designs that are inspired by and borrow from nature to create harmonious interior spaces. Wallpaper designs have also followed suit.

Rebecca Drury, the co-founder of MissPrint, stated that “interior design inspired by nature is the top trend.” According to Rebecca, this trend “begins with an increase in demand for home plants.” “We will now find that nature is inspiring many areas of interior design, from plant prints and natural materials to colors and even shapes.”

From wallpaper designs containing animals and plants to the dominance of natural colors such as blue and green, the influence of nature on wallpaper design is now undeniable.

In addition, as interest in nature has increased, so has awareness of sustainability. Beth Travers, founder of minimalist design company Bobo1325, predicts that "increasing awareness of the earth's fragility" will determine how people choose wallpaper in 2022: "Homeowners are looking for more sustainable options-using FSC-sourced wallpaper supply Manufacturers of paper and paint brands that eliminate toxins and furniture brands that use recycled materials.

Lucy Henderson, the chief designer of My Bespoke Room, told us, “Bold floral prints and plant prints will not be everywhere.” The trend of plant wallpaper has been strong for several years, but this year, you can expect to see a more abstract expression of plant patterns . There are no longer photo-realistic flowers and palm leaves-instead, we have seen more stylized versions such as MissPrint’s Little Trees Emerald Wallpaper and Wayfair’s Averie 2.5mx 90cm Matte Peel & Stick Wallpaper Roll.

Lucy said she saw "many eye-catching animal and bird wallpapers"-we agree. Animal wallpapers often appear in children's rooms, but the current trend is a beautiful adult version. Forest patterns featuring deer are particularly popular and are in line with overall biophilic trends, such as NuWallpaper Escape to the Forest Peel & Stick Wallpaper Nav from Target. Animal-themed wallpapers are expected to become an important part of living room creativity in 2022.

There is definitely a moment in blue, and the idea of ​​a blue room dominates the interior trend. It is only a matter of time before the wallpaper catches up with the popularity of blue. If you want the most fashionable shades, look for strong indigo and teal shades, such as MindtheGap's Arizome Collage wallpaper and Target's Layered Leaves Peel & Stick Wallpaper-Opalhouse. Otherwise, by 2022, a powerful navy will occupy a place in the wallpaper world.

Rebecca Drury said of the green trend that it is "a direct result of interior design trends inspired by nature." Green continues to be one of the most popular colors in interior design. This color will add a sense of comfort, calm and happiness to the family. The idea of ​​a green living room will become a rich emerald in the coming year.

Chinoiserie wallpaper is nothing new-in fact, wallpaper inspired by Chinese and Japanese art first became popular in Europe in the 18th century. Facts have proved that Chinese style design perfectly matches the current biophilic craze in interior design. 

From delicate cherry blossoms to koi to herons, there are many patterns and appearances inspired by nature. These wallpapers are great companions for modern bathroom ideas. We were amazed by the Chinoiserie Garden wallpaper mural from Wallsauce and The Swoop wallpaper by Terracotta from Feathr.

They are not only suitable for bathrooms and kitchens-try tile patterns in home offices or greenhouses.

Rachel Kenny, Wallsauce’s studio manager, told us, “With Japandi’s support, we look forward to seeing the demand for Chinese style design. The attitude towards East Asian influence is much softer. Chinese style is romantic, and Japandi has always been About sharp styling.

It must be emerald green.
