Green Wallpaper

Green (especially sage green) is a colour that remains incredibly popular for home decor in 2023. The colour green connects us to nature and makes us feel calm, so there has been an abundance of green wallpapers released this year featuring delicate leaf prints and trees. The new Sanderson Arboretum collection is full of quirky, nature-inspired green wallpaper prints - from twisting sap green vine stripes to the green leaves of blackberry bushes.

Stick-On Self-Adhesive Wallpaper

If you are new to wallpapering or want wallpaper that is easy to remove and non-committal, easy-to-apply self-adhesive wallpaper is your best friend! No need for paste or a large pasting table - simply peel and go! Dunelm is a great supplier of stick-on wallpaper and they have a new wood slat panel design that gives you the effect of wall panelling without all the fuss!

Lilac Wallpaper

Lilac, lavender and soft purple colours are really popular right now in fashion, so it is a natural progression for the shade to start being favoured for our homes and within interior design. You can either go for a touch of lilac as part of a larger wallpaper pattern, or full-on lilac with the many popular wisteria wallpaper designs available.

Stripe Wallpaper

Stripes are the new scallops in interiors - expect to see them everywhere in 2023! Osborne & Little are leading the way with their new Regency Stripe Wallpaper Collection, while budget-friendly stripy wallpaper can be found on the high street via Dunelm, starting at £10 a roll.

Chequerboard Wallpaper

With the popularity of check prints within interiors and home decor, there has been an abundance of chequerboard painting tutorials with decorating tape over social media. However, the truth is painting a chequerboard design takes a lot of time and patience! Remove the hard work by installing a printed check wallpaper design instead. You can either go for a standard colourful box pattern, or add checks with gingham wallpaper.

Whimsical, Arts & Crafts Cottagecore Wallpaper

Detailed, small-pattern wallpaper mostly featuring arts and crafts prints remain popular again in 2023 after a surge in their use in 2022. New designs for this year come from Mulberry Home and you can buy good-value whimsical wallpaper from high-street giants Next.

Large-scale wallpaper prints and wall murals

We will see wall murals and large-scale wallpaper prints that swathe across walls return after a release of a number of large-scale panels and papers from brands such as Little Greene and Sanderson. The viral images of Lily Allen’s home as featured in AD have also had an impact on the demand for large-scale wallpaper prints after her green living area adored in luxury Zuber wallpaper was shared all over social media.

Floral Wallpaper

Floral wallpaper doesn’t have to be big and blousy blooms or feel old-fashioned. Instead, look to the new Clarissa Hulse collection Wiltshire Meadow for colourful depictions of wild grasses and dried florals. Floral block prints are also a really on-trend way to bring floral patterns into the home.

Neutral Wallpaper

If you want to add a touch of interest to your walls without an overload of colour, neutral wallpapers are a fantastic way to add tactile interest and an extra layer of detail into a room without the paper dominating. Grasscloth wallpapers and delicate floral designs work well in soft, neutral tones.

Abstract Wallpaper

Abstract wallpaper prints full of organic shapes and movement are fun and modern. Think outside the box and add an abstract wallpaper to the ceiling - the fifth wall - and paint the walls in a shade to complement the paper.
