Wallpaper can visually separate areas such as the work corner in the living room, the bedroom or the hallway from other living areas. In addition to the feel-good factor, wall designs can also create a professional setting for the home office and support a “change of scenery” with restrained patterns without having to go to the office. Even with video conferences, wallpaper in the background often makes a good impression - and can of course express your own individuality. If the Frankfurt-based “Zukunftsinstitute” is right, individualization is “a dominant megatrend of the still young 21st century”. And of course the design of the living space plays a decisive role in this. The following trends have been identified at Printtextures.

Closeness to nature

Motifs relating to nature are particularly popular at the moment. The selection includes tropical leaves, exotic woods and artistically expressive motifs, but also oriental flora in light pastel colors or black and white optics - everything is included, from palm trees to jungle bushes to birch and entire forest motifs. A more feminine look, on the other hand, can be created with floral wallpapers. In place of wild jungle motifs, delicate flower tendrils and blossoms appear here. Vintage wallpapers in pale colors like dusty pink are also favorites.

Floral designs not only form a reliable basis for many furnishing styles, they also bring harmony into your own four walls. In addition, floral decors in fresh shades of green bring a certain simplicity to everyday life.

Geometric pattern

Simple and modern, but still a stylish eye-catcher: This is how geometric wallpaper patterns present themselves. Harmony can arise not only through natural motifs, but through geometric shapes as well. Such patterns ensure balance with their symmetry. Single-colored and linear pieces of furniture are particularly suitable to be placed in front of geometric wallpaper. The patterns seem restless at first, but symmetry and clear lines create a tidy look. The details loosen up the atmosphere of an otherwise rather simple room.

Marble, stone and iron

Pattern wallpapers in the look of stone and concrete were already popular last year. Their simplicity often gives rooms a higher quality look. However, the trend is now for unusual stone patterns in different colors. Tonalite, quartz, marble, serizzo, titanium, porphyry, travertine, azul do macaubas, azul da bahia or onyx: stone patterns are increasingly interpreted in a modern way, for example with slightly surreal color casts in pink, blue or orange. The still simple patterns underline minimalism and fit perfectly into a Scandinavian interior. Together with light furniture, such designs look noble and set an accent in otherwise rather inconspicuous rooms. The industrial style also derives its expressiveness primarily from concrete and stone wallpapers.

Elegance and extravagance

With a view to this year's trends, according to Printtextures, modern and elegant, but also retro wallpapers are in demand. Elegance can be achieved, for example, with wallpaper with a simple marble look, monochrome wallpaper or designs with rusty metal. Scanned surfaces of rusty sheet metal can create a very classy look - such designs are particularly popular in hotels and designer rooms, mostly in combination with dark, metallic furniture. The retro style, on the other hand, comes into its own with vintage patterns in various colors. These include baroque wallpapers or various fabric patterns.

Of course, you can also combine and consciously create style inconsistencies: A simple wallpaper in gray can - according to the experts - be refined very well with metallic details such as rose gold accessories. Such color combinations also look good on extravagant patterns with ornate lines and baroque style. Concrete look, on the other hand, is characterized by its universal compatibility with exciting optical highlights. Real eye-catchers can be created especially in combination with retro furniture. Rooms equipped with simple furniture, on the other hand, appear rather clean. In such cases, care must be taken to ensure that the overall appearance is not too sterile and cold.

Trend color: shades of blue

Regardless of the topic, the trend color currently remains unchanged, as all shades of blue are represented in both wall paints and wallpapers. It is not for nothing that “Classic Blue” was chosen by the Pantone Color Institute as Color of the Year 2020. Light blue looks inviting and happy, whereas deep blue exudes calm and security. Smaller rooms in particular benefit from light blue designs. A very modern impression can be achieved, especially in combination with straight furniture in simple colors.
