The days of light and airy décor may be a thing of the past as trendy wallpapers are resurfacing in the designer's eye in 2023.
Do you remember the wallpaper from your mother’s kitchen or dining room? Floral and patterned walls gave a space a personality of its own. The minimalist style has been reigning over home décor for quite some time now, but maximalism is finally making a grand comeback.
Maximalism is all about details! The idea is that the layers, colorful variety, and eclectic flavor truly maximize a space - establishing an identity within a room. That’s why wallpaper is an aspect of a room that should be focused on when getting into décor mode. As the largest surface area in your home, giving it extra attention to detail can completely transform the aesthetic and energy of a room.
We have the industry’s predictions for the fate of wallpapers in 2023 – and believe us, they are not your mama's wallpaper!
Be Bold!
Did you know colors have a direct impact on your mood? A term called “dopamine dressing” refers to mood-enhancing wallpapers that offer aesthetically pleasing comforts. Optimism, motivation, and happiness are the main ideas – picking out wallpaper with colors and patterns that remind you of these keywords is a great way to add your own touch to create a fun and comfortable space.

Stripes and Wavy Stripes
Softness and fluidity are what we are striving for with stripe-patterned wallpaper. Wavy stripes resemble the ocean, which evokes feelings of calmness and relaxation. We’ve seen stripes that are subtle and stripes that are bold – and we love them all! To really make a space relaxing, try blue and green hues with your striped wallpaper to create a space that is dedicated to mindfulness.
70s Revival
Retro designs are making a comeback! Rattan furniture and shaggy rugs aren’t the only 70s styles that are reviving. Wallpapers with repeating geometric patterns, rich and vibrant colors, and curved edges pair perfectly with your 70s-inspired groovy décor.

Make a Statement
Large-scale prints and murals are flooding Pinterest boards and making statements! These stunning walls tell stories – and you get to choose which story you want to tell. Moody florals, abstract paint strokes, botanical scenes – the potential for creativity in your space expands when you go this route for choosing your wallpaper.
