Wallpaper trends 2026 – natural, calm, and timeless walls

Texture and dimension – wallpapers you can see and feel

In 2026, tactility plays a central role in wallpaper design. Wallpapers increasingly mimic natural materials such as linen, sisal, stone and wood fibre – often so convincingly that the surface feels almost authentic.

At the same time, 3D wallpapers and embossed designs continue to grow in popularity. Subtle reliefs, textile-like depth and soft shadows add character to walls without overwhelming the space.

What does this trend look like in practice?

• Matte, textured wall surfaces
• Subtle relief and structure
• A calm, hotel-inspired and refined atmosphere

This trend works especially well in living rooms, bedrooms and acoustically demanding spaces.

Nature and landscapes – space to breathe

Nature-inspired wallpapers remain a strong trend in 2026, but with a softer and more refined expression. Botanical and landscape wallpapers are no longer just decorative patterns – they help define and expand the space.

Panoramic forests, misty horizons and garden scenes create depth and a sense of calm. The colour palette stays muted and natural, allowing the wallpaper to support the room rather than dominate it.

This trend is ideal for bedrooms, hotels, offices and any space where a tranquil atmosphere is desired.

Stone, marble and minerals – modern sophistication

Wallpapers inspired by marble and stone are among the strongest interior trends of 2026. They bring depth and elegance to a space without feeling cold or heavy.

Advanced printing techniques create highly realistic stone effects, where natural variations and subtle imperfections add to the appeal. The result is timeless and serene – an excellent choice for kitchens, dining areas and modern interiors.

Warm neutral tones – a soft and inviting colour palette

Wallpaper colours in 2026 move decisively away from cool greys. Instead, warm neutrals take centre stage, including sand, clay, umber and soft off-white.

These tones:

• create a calming atmosphere
• work well with a wide range of materials
• remain relevant beyond passing trends

A warm colour palette forms a lasting foundation for interiors that feel comfortable year after year.

Stripes and soft geometry – a classic reimagined

Striped wallpapers are making a comeback, but in a more subtle and refined way. Vertical stripes, softened grids and layered geometric patterns add rhythm without visual noise.

Stripes:

• enhance the perception of ceiling height
• suit both modern and classic interiors
• are a safe yet stylish choice

In Aveo’s collections, stripes appear understated, natural and timeless.
