Cosiness, naturalness, tranquillity - three needs that, according to trend researchers, will be increasingly close to people's hearts as the world spins ever faster and everyday life becomes ever more hectic and mechanized. Slowing down is therefore the order of the day, and a comfortable home will become enormously important for people in the coming years. An interesting counter-movement: Because smartphones, tablets and even TV sets are becoming smoother and flatter, current wallpaper trends now feature all the more texture.

This year's wallpaper trends: tactile surface textures that have a warm textile character and are strongly oriented towards fashion, leather, textile and metal looks are combined with each other, traditional patterns from India, Africa, the Balkans or the Orient are created. Ethnic and folklore elements are important wallpaper trends this year. But interesting looks such as patinated wood, concrete and stone motifs are also in now.

Vintage effect: wallpaper trends with flowers

As if hand-painted: The new wallpaper trends are also delicate and feminine with fine flowers. Many of the floral motifs are accompanied by a vintage effect. Leaves or ferns take on a romantic and light look. The colors range from warm sand and beige tones to elegant grey and silver combinations. Warm gold and bronze nuances create a cozy, feel-good atmosphere. When color comes into play, it is mainly washed-out shades of blue that set the tone this year. Aqua and peppermint provide refreshing accents on the wall and go well with shades such as mother-of-pearl and ink blue.
