Wallpaper Is Back
Wallpaper is having a beautiful return in 2025, and it’s easy to see why. Long admired for its ability to bring depth, warmth, and personality to a room, today’s wallpaper is more versatile, elevated, and inviting than ever. From soft textures to hand-painted florals and scenic murals, wallpaper is becoming a go-to design element in both modern and classic homes.
At Bindi and Bird, we believe walls should do more than divide a space—they should tell a story. And wallpaper allows you to tell it with grace, charm, and a touch of beauty that never goes out of style.
A well-chosen wallpaper can completely transform the way a room feels. It can soften a hard corner, create a focal point without clutter, or add quiet sophistication in an unexpected place. Whether you’re redesigning a bedroom or looking to add charm to a powder room, wallpaper is once again the designer’s tool of choice—and one we’re wholeheartedly embracing.
A return to comfort and character
In recent years, there’s been a natural move away from overly minimalist interiors. Homeowners are craving spaces that feel lived-in, layered, and personal. Wallpaper brings that sensibility to life. It’s the detail that says a space has been thoughtfully considered.
Even better, many of today’s wallpapers are easier to work with than ever. Peel-and-stick options and high-quality removables make it simple to refresh a space without the long-term commitment. It’s beauty, with flexibility built in.
What’s trending in wallpaper for 2025
This year’s wallpaper styles are grounded in nature, texture, and subtle drama. Here are the patterns and materials designers are turning to again and again.
Bold geometric prints
Oversized shapes and architectural patterns create visual structure in a room. They’re ideal for offices, entryways, or dining areas where a sense of rhythm is welcome.
Textured neutrals
Grasscloth, linen, and plaster-inspired finishes lend a quiet richness that complements wood, stone, and natural light. These understated designs are perfect for bedrooms, living spaces, and cozy dens.
Nature-inspired motifs
From leafy vines to moody florals, patterns that bring the outdoors in continue to flourish. They’re soft, grounding, and endlessly versatile.
Scenic murals
Whether it’s a foggy landscape, a painted garden, or a vintage-inspired illustration, large-scale murals bring artistic beauty to a space in a way that’s both bold and graceful.
Metallic accents and pearlescent finishes
Subtle shimmer and light-catching details can elevate a room, especially in spaces like powder rooms, hallways, or small dining areas.
Wallpaper borders and trim
Thoughtfully reimagined, borders are being used again—but in a more tailored, architectural way. They add definition, charm, and a sense of craftsmanship.
Where to use wallpaper now
In 2025, wallpaper is showing up in some expected places—and some wonderfully surprising ones. Try it in:
Ceilings
A wallpapered ceiling creates intimacy and interest. It draws the eye upward and makes a space feel beautifully finished.
Pantries and closets
Even the most utilitarian spaces deserve a bit of delight. A soft floral or textured stripe in a closet can be a charming surprise.
Cabinet backs and shelving
Inside a bookcase or behind a bar, wallpaper adds depth without requiring additional decor.
Entryways
Set the tone for your home with a welcoming pattern that reflects your personal style.
Powder rooms
Always a favorite spot for wallpaper, a small bathroom offers a perfect canvas for a bold or detailed print.
Is wallpaper still in style?
It’s not only in style—it’s in demand. Wallpaper is one of the most popular interior design features of the year, with homeowners and designers turning to it for projects of all sizes. It’s sophisticated, personal, and layered in all the right ways.
The best part? You don’t need to commit to an entire room. A single wall, a bookshelf backing, or even a ceiling can make a dramatic difference.
Wallpaper in 2025 is a balance of modern craftsmanship and timeless appeal. It isn’t about recreating the past—it’s about creating something that feels deeply intentional.
Final thoughts from Bindi and Bird
Good design is about more than trend—it’s about creating a home that feels considered and complete. Wallpaper helps you do just that. It wraps a space in texture, history, and style in a way no other material can.
At Bindi and Bird, we’ve curated a wallpaper collection that reflects our love of natural textures, soft tones, and artful design. Whether you’re ready for a full-room transformation or just looking for a small space to refresh, we’d be delighted to help you choose something beautiful.
