A Fresh Take on Wallpaper
Wallpaper has made a huge come-back in the last few years! You can get big bang for your buck with wallpaper without committing to an entire room of it. For 2023 we’re seeing a trend toward using paper in fun, new ways. Small accents, single walls and even book cases are great ways to showcase a beautiful paper and add interest to your home.
We love what this pretty floral print adds to an otherwise staid shelving unit. And this gorgeous dining room with three papered panels is classic and sophisticated. Even just small touches of paper can have big impact.

Another trend we’re loving is papers with a natural motif. Designs inspired by nature, such as floral or botanical prints, are timeless and work with so many styles of decor. Earthy colors like green and brown, as well as muted shades of pink and blue, are also on trend.
We love this serene, leafy print from Spoonflower. Best of all, it’s removable!
Geometric prints and patterns, such as hexagons, triangles, and stripes, are another popular trend in wallpaper. These designs can add a modern touch to a space, especially when used on accent walls. We love this soft pink and gold design from Graham & Brown. It brings together two trends–geometrics and metallics–and would be gorgeous in a powder room or dressing area.
Grass cloth is back! Popular in the 80s, it brings a beautiful textural and natural element to any room and works surprisingly well with all styles of decor. Although it’s well-suited for large areas we really love it as an accent wall in this modern room.
Large scale prints, and even murals, are having a moment. With the availability of decal type papers, these can be a fun solution for rooms where a little drama or whimsy would be welcome. This rose garden wall is gorgeous for a boudoir or a child’s room, and if you get tired of it, you can easily peel it off and change it up whenever you like. How fun is that?
Whatever you choose and however you use it, remember that wallpaper can be polarizing. And if it’s glued down, it’s very difficult, time consuming and expensive to remove. For this reason, we’d recommend not opting for permanent paper if you’re thinking about selling your home. If you have older, outdated paper on your walls, consider removing it or painting over it before listing your home.
