Hello 2026! If you’re anything like us here at Nobletts, the start of a brand new year has you itching for a little change — especially when it comes to your living spaces. Whether you’re planning a full room refresh or just a small wall update, this year’s wallpaper and wall décor trends are all about personality, texture and joy. Let’s dive into what’s hot in 2026 👇
🎨 1. Artisanal & Handcrafted Looks
2026 is the year we embrace imperfection — and we mean that in the best way! Wallpapers that mimic hand-drawn sketches, painterly brush strokes, and handcrafted motifs are everywhere. This look brings warmth and authenticity to walls, making them feel uniquely you.
Perfect for: Living rooms, creative studios, and bedrooms craving character.
✨ Trend Spotlight: Textured Walls with the Serra Textures Collection
One collection that really captures this year’s love of texture and craftsmanship is our Serra Textures Wallpaper Collection. Inspired by traditional plaster and limewash finishes, these wallpapers bring all the depth, movement and softness of hand-applied walls — without the mess or maintenance.
The subtle, cloud-like patterns add instant warmth and sophistication, making them ideal for creating calm, grown-up spaces that still feel interesting. Shades like earthy olives, warm rusts and soft neutrals tie in beautifully with 2026’s focus on natural tones and tactile interiors. Whether used across all four walls or as a backdrop to layered décor, Serra proves that texture doesn’t have to shout to make a statement.
It’s a brilliant choice if you love the look of artisan finishes but want the practicality of wallpaper — stylish, timeless and effortlessly on trend.
🌿 2. Biophilic Walls — Nature Inspired Design
Bring the outside in! Biophilic influences continue to dominate, with lush botanical wallpapers, earthy tones, and organic shapes. Think leafy murals, tropical greens, and abstract nature patterns that make a room feel like a breath of fresh air.
This trend pairs beautifully with natural timber features and lots of plants — hello tranquil spaces! 🌱
🌿 How Our Tropicals Collection Brings Biophilic Style to Life
If you’re loving the idea of bringing the outdoors in, our Tropicals Wallpaper Collection is a perfect match for that vibe. These patterns do exactly what biophilic design is all about — they echo the shapes, colours and feeling of nature in a way that makes a room feel fresher, calmer, and simply more alive.
Think lush leafy prints, oversized botanical motifs and rich, verdant greens that mirror the look of real foliage. Whether you’re creating a statement feature wall or transforming an entire room, these designs invite a breath of fresh air indoors — no garden access required 🌱
Paired with natural woods, rattan furniture, woven textures and plenty of plants, the Tropicals wallpapers help create spaces that feel tranquil and connected to the natural world. It’s a trend that’s about mood as much as aesthetics — rooms that feel restorative, grounding, and beautifully organic.
✨ 3. Bold Maximalist Statements
Minimalism might still have fans, but 2026 belongs to the bold. Maximalist wallpapers are loud, proud and unapologetically vibrant. Think oversized floral prints, dramatic geometric bursts and rich jewel tones.
Not ready for a full room commitment? Try a statement wall to dip your toes in the trend!
🎨 How Our Maximalist Statement Prints Wallpaper Collection Brings Bold to Life
If bold and brilliant is the vibe you’re after, our Maximalist Statement Prints Wallpaper Collection is the perfect real-world example of this trend in action. These designs are unapologetically expressive — rich jewel tones, oversized motifs, dramatic florals and energetic patterns that instantly turn a wall into a focal point.
This collection doesn’t just hint at maximalism — it celebrates it. Each wallpaper makes a visual statement that lifts a room’s personality and mood, whether you go all-in across four walls or use a design as a standout feature wall. Pair these rich prints with textured fabrics, sculptural décor and layered lighting to anchor the look and keep it from feeling chaotic.
It’s ideal for anyone ready to embrace colour, pattern and flair — perfect for living rooms, dining spaces or anywhere you want to make an impression.
🪩 4. Metallics & Subtle Shine
We’re loving wallpapers with a touch of shimmer this year — metallic foils, pearlescent finishes and muted glitter details are all the rage. These add a luxe feel without being too flashy, perfect for accent walls or special spaces like dining rooms or entryways.
🪩 How Our Metallic & Glitter Collection Adds Subtle Shine
Our Metallic and Glitter Wallpaper Collection is a beautiful example of how this year’s love of gentle shimmer can be used in a refined, grown-up way. These wallpapers feature soft metallic foils, pearlescent washes and delicate glitter accents that catch the light just enough to add depth and interest — without overwhelming the space.
Rather than bold sparkle, this collection is all about understated luxury. Think elegant dining rooms that glow in evening light, hallways that feel instantly elevated, or feature walls that add a touch of glamour while still remaining timeless. Paired with warm neutrals, plush fabrics and soft lighting, metallic wallpapers bring a sense of polish and sophistication that feels perfectly in tune with 2026 interiors.
It’s proof that a little shine goes a long way — subtle, stylish and effortlessly chic.
🧵 5. Textured & 3D Wall Coverings
Texture is a huge trend in wall decor. From grasscloth and woven wallpapers to embossed patterns that catch the light, texture adds dimensional interest that flat paint just can’t match.
This trend is all about tactile appeal — rooms that feel as good as they look.
🧱 How Our Geometric Pattern Wallpaper Collection Elevates Textured & 3D Walls
One of the best ways to bring texture and dimensional interest into a space — without real structural features — is with pattern that feels like it has depth. That’s exactly where our Geometric Pattern Wallpaper Collection shines. These bold, structured designs create optical movement and visual layering that give walls a sense of three-dimensional energy.
Geometric patterns play with scale, shadow and repetition in a way that tricks the eye — so even a flat surface feels dynamic and engaging. Whether it’s a honeycomb-inspired motif, an angular abstract design or a softly layered tessellation, these prints add that extra bit of visual depth that makes a room feel designed with intention.
Perfect for feature walls in living rooms, studies, and creative spaces, these wallpapers bring architectural flair and modern edge — proving texture isn’t always about material, sometimes it’s about pattern that feels alive.
🪵 6. Wood & Natural Materials
Natural wood panel-look wallpapers are a brilliant way to get that warm, cozy vibe without the hassle of real boards. Reclaimed wood motifs, soft driftwood hues, and light Scandinavian-inspired panels are huge this year.
Great for bedrooms, dens, or anywhere you want that laid-back, organic feel.
🪵 How Our Wood Slat Wallpaper Collection Brings Natural Warmth
If you’re loving the idea of wood-look walls but want the ease and flexibility of wallpaper, our Wood Slat Wallpapers are a perfect way to bring that warmth and organic texture into your home. These designs capture the charm and depth of real timber — from softly weathered hues to refined slat effects — but without the hassle of real wood installation.
The natural tones and linear details in this collection connect beautifully with 2026’s biophilic and texture-first trends, making spaces feel cozy, grounded and effortlessly stylish. Whether you’re styling a feature wall behind a bed, adding interest to a lounge area or creating a calm, cabin-inspired corner, the Wood Slat wallpapers give you that tactile, architectural look with none of the fuss.
Pair them with woven textiles, leafy houseplants and warm metals to elevate the natural vibe even further — it’s all about spaces that feel good and look great.
🌈 7. Colour of the Year — Soft, Soothing Hues
2026 is leaning into calming colors — gentle greens, soft taupes, muted blues, and warm neutrals that pair effortlessly with more expressive patterns. These tones make gorgeous bases for both bold wallpapers and minimalist décor.
Pro tip: Use these hues as your main wall colour and then layer in patterns and textures for depth.
🌿 How Our Green Wallpaper Collection Reflects 2026’s Colour of the Year
Soft, soothing greens are right at the heart of 2026’s colour story, and our Green Wallpaper Collection showcases just how versatile and timeless this shade can be. From gentle sage and muted olive to deeper, earthy greens, these wallpapers create a calming foundation that works effortlessly across a range of interiors.
Green is one of those colours that pairs beautifully with almost everything — bold patterns, warm woods, natural textures and even metallic accents. Used across all four walls or as a subtle feature, it brings a sense of balance and tranquillity that makes a room feel instantly more relaxed and welcoming.
Layer these calming green tones with textured finishes, patterned cushions or statement lighting to add depth and personality — it’s a simple way to create spaces that feel both stylish and serene.
🧠 Trend Tip: Mixing Styles is In!
One of the biggest overarching movements in 2026 interior design is mixing — not matching. Think a lush botanical wallpaper in the living room, paired with sleek modern furniture, or a bold geometric in the study with soft, neutral accents. It’s all about creating spaces that surprise you and feel uniquely yours.
