Gone are the days of mundane, monotonous white paint; instead, we invite you to explore the world of fresh wallpaper ideas. Here every pattern and texture reflects a part of your unique personality and tastes. In today’s fast-paced world, where trends evolve rapidly and individuality reigns, the walls of your home serves as a canvas for self-expression and creativity.
Whether you’re looking to add a touch of whimsy to a nursery, create a serene retreat in the bedroom, or make a statement in the living room, we’ve got you covered. From minimalist chic to bold and eclectic, we’ll explore a diverse range of themes and inspirations that cater to every taste and preference.
So let’s explore together as we reimagine modern interior design through the versatile medium of wallpaper.
1) The Accent Wall
The accent wall is when we create a focal point in a room by covering just one wall with wallpaper. Although there is nothing new about the feature wall concept there are fresh ways we can look at this. Some examples might be; using a fun and unexpected wallpaper patten in a serious room. Or choosing a whimsical wallpaper that might not have been seen before.
2) Using wallpaper as art
Choosing art is very personal and can be expensive. Often more than one piece is needed for a large wall. So how about using the wallpaper as your artwork? Whether you go for a classic mural here or just a design that speaks to you as artwork might, this is artwork on a grand scale. No frame needed!
3) Framing your wallpaper
Or hang the frame and use a wallpaper within that…
4) Wallpaper with Birds
Whether you have a subtle flying bird or a bright pink flamingo, feathered avians are trending for wallpaper design. You can also look at nature inspired wallpaper that birds are featured in. Also wallpaper that has a feathered pattern.
5) Mid Century Modern
This is modern interior design lingo for retro. Mid century modern refers to architecture and interior style from the 1950’s to 1970’s. Re-imagined in some fantastic wallpaper designs all thats left is to choose how bold you go with it.
6) Watercolour style wallpaper ideas
Wallpaper is either made from a hand-painted design or digitally created. Either way a watercolour inspired wallpaper is made to replicate the real artwork style.
7) Wallpaper that looks like fabric
There are many to choose from out there but a wonderful wallpaper idea to create a sophisticated, textural effect in your room is by using a wallcovering that looks like fabric. You can buy designs that emulate linen, canvas or velvet and all will add a layer of elegance to any space.
8) Wallpaper with lights
Cutting edge design houses such as Meystyle use thousands of LED lights to make up the wallpaper pattern. Encapsulating the functionality of lighting with the beauty of wallpaper in one go.
9) Modern Floral wallpaper ideas
Floral wallpaper has always been around and likely always will. In order to keep the look modern think about the overall style. To keep floral wallpaper looking fresh and contemporary use a bold floral design, a traditional design in super modern colourways or oversized flowers.
10) Small patterns wallpaper ideas
In a more traditional style home for example in a French Provincial, farmhouse or Hamptons style, a timeless small scale pattern is back. A classic example of old world charm being bought back into homes.
11) Oversized scale patterns
And for the more contemporary home oversize is all the trend. Think murals here or repeating wallpaper patterns that have the large scale usually achieved with a mural. This wallpaper idea will create that wow factor.
12) Have fun with animal wallpaper
Find a playful vibe with a sense of humour for this tongue in cheek style. You might choose wallpaper patterns of hookah smoking sloths, cheeky monkeys hiding in a jungle or a large scale single animal printed on your wall.
13) Peach Fuzz
Pantone chooses a colour of the year every year. A color radiant with warmth and modern elegance was chosen for 2024.
“Peach Fuzz captures our desire to nurture ourselves and others. It’s a velvety gentle peach tone whose all-embracing spirit enriches mind, body, and soul.”
14) Graphic Wallpaper Ideas
Graphic pattern in design refers to an art style that is either hand drawn, engraved or bold, vivid shapes. This translates beautifully when looking at graphic wallpaper ideas as there are stunning options to choose from. This style leans towards an artsy style of abstract drawing or a “jump off the wall” almost 3D effect wallpaper pattern.
15) Wallpaper on a ceiling
Most often the ceiling is painted white and forgotten. But it can be a perfect choice to hang wallpaper. Literally elevating a space. This works well in entry ways, rooms that might have little wall space as well as bedrooms. A ceiling can also be utilised by using a contrasting wallpaper to the one used on the walls. Or if you are going all in; matching the wallpaper on the walls and ceiling.
