Wallpaper Trends 2023

 

Wavy stripes

Quite literally making waves in the wallpaper world, we have wavy stripes. Wave patterned wallpaper is perfect to refresh your interiors in 2023, adding softness and fluidity to a space whilst simultaneously elongating walls and offering a new take on the traditional and unmistakably bold stripes.

Waves are instantly recognisable. We associate these shapes with water and the ocean, which are known to evoke feelings of calm and relaxation.’ says Charlotte Cropper, Lick’s International Colour Consultant. Patterns with wavy stripes are the perfect recipe therefore, for encouraging moments of mindfulness in the home.

For a particularly calming and mindful take on the trend, look no further than Lick’s charity collaboration with the mental health  prevention charity, Campaign Against Living Miserably (CALM). Lick’s hand-painted wavy stripe wallpaper in soft blue and sage green hues can work in various rooms, from an oceanic-inspired bathroom to a characterful statement wall in a bedroom or living room.

Lust Home’s new Get a Wiggle On wavy stripe designs take a colourful twist on the trend, with fun rainbow shades and pastel hues, as well as more calming and relaxing colours.

Dopamine decorating

For 2023 we’re embracing all things dopamine dressing, and that means vibrant, mood-enhancing wallpapers that ultimately make us feel happy. Whatever colour or pattern, wallpaper designs that instil optimism, motivation and happiness are key to nailing this trend. From your office space to your bedroom, your home will be beaming from wall to wall.

Lucy Mather from Arighi Bianchi comments: ‘Alongside maximalism, trend-focused consumers are turning to dopamine colours to brighten up their outlook. The idea of dopamine decorating has been a buzzword for the past 12 months, but this desire to add fun and energy into our interiors is very much here to stay.’

Retro 1970s resurgence

Retro designs are also set to make a comeback in 2023, with the 70s revival in full swing. To get the look, opt for wallpapers that feature, ‘large-scale geometrics on repeating print, rich and vibrant colours, and curved edges,’ say the design team at Lust Home. And to truly lean into that fun and groovy decade, pair your wallpaper with rattan furniture and shaggy rugs.
