The living room is where everyday life happens – from quiet evenings on the sofa to busy family gatherings and everything in between. Because it’s such a well-loved space, it deserves a little extra attention, and wallpaper is one of the easiest ways to give it a fresh new feel. Right now, we’re seeing a real shift towards designs that add warmth, personality and comfort without overpowering the room, which is why soft neutrals and textured finishes feature so strongly across our living room wallpaper collection. From calming neutrals to confident statement patterns, these are the living room wallpaper trends we’re genuinely loving at the moment – and the ones our customers keep coming back for.
Trend 1: Soft Neutrals & Natural Textures.
Soft neutrals and natural textures continue to be one of the biggest living room wallpaper trends, and it’s easy to see why. Think warm creams, soft stones, gentle greys and subtle textured effects that add depth without shouting for attention. These wallpapers create a calm, timeless backdrop that works beautifully in busy family spaces, especially when layered with cosy furnishings, wood finishes and soft lighting. One standout example is the Arcadia Distressed Grey Wallpaper – its soft grey tone and lightly distressed texture bring that natural, lived-in feel without dominating the room, pairing effortlessly with both classic and contemporary décor. If you’re after a scheme that feels relaxed but refined, our neutral and cream wallpaper collection is packed with designs that bring warmth and texture to a living room while keeping the overall look elegant and easy to live with.
Trend 2: Botanical & Organic Patterns
Trend 3: Statement Walls & Bold Designs
Statement walls and bold designs are all about bringing personality and drama into your living room — and when done right, they can completely transform the feel of a space. Think big, confident patterns, vibrant colour palettes, and eye-catching motifs that give a room instant character. These wallpapers work especially well on a single feature wall, anchoring the space without overwhelming it, and letting the rest of your décor play a supporting role. Our maximalist wallpaper collection is packed with show-stopping designs that embrace colour and pattern with style. A brilliant example is the Wild Meadow Mustard Floral Wallpaper— its rich mustard tones and lively floral pattern bring warmth, energy, and a touch of vintage charm, making it perfect for anyone who wants their living room to feel bold, joyful and completely unique.
Trend 4: Subtle Metallics & Elegant Shimmer
Trend 5: Cosy Colour Palettes
Making Wallpaper Work in Your Living Room
When it comes to styling wallpaper in a living room, the most important thing is choosing something that feels right for you and how you use the space. Feature walls are a great place to start if you’re drawn to pattern or colour, while softer designs can work beautifully wrapped around the whole room for a more cocooning feel. Think about the natural light in your space, balance bolder wallpapers with calmer paint shades, and layer in texture through cushions, throws and rugs to tie everything together. And remember, trends are there to inspire rather than dictate — the best living rooms are the ones that feel comfortable, personal and easy to live with.
Final Thoughts
Wallpaper has a wonderful way of transforming a living room, adding warmth, personality and a sense of comfort that paint alone can’t always achieve. Whether you’re drawn to soft neutrals, leafy botanicals, bold statement designs or rich, cosy colours, there’s no right or wrong choice — just what works for your home and your lifestyle. If you’re feeling inspired, browsing our living room wallpaper collection and ordering samples is a great place to start, letting you see how a wallpaper looks and feels in your own space. And if you ever need a bit of guidance, we’re always happy to help you find a design that makes your living room somewhere you truly love to spend time.
