Wallpaper design trends 2022: 10 wallpaper ideas to play with

1. Botanical Wallpaper Trends for 2022

Botanical décor has been very popular in 2022, from upholstery to wall art to wallpaper. A room can be made captivating with a feature wall of flourishing foliage. Choose deeper tones on the other walls and pair it with dark wood flooring for a moody and surreal aesthetic.

If you are picking a floral wallpaper, consider the scale of the flowers in the patterns. It will look beautiful in a large room but in a smaller room, if the print is very large it could become overwhelming. In that case, it may be safer to stick to daintier designs to create an illusion of space.

3. Gorgeous Designer Wallpaper for Walls

Wallpaper can completely transform a space and some sensational designer wallpaper for walls include luxe textured wallpaper, metallic wallpapers, wallpapers with botanical, landscape or floral motifs. One can even find wallpaper from renowned fashion designers to adorn your walls.

Designer wallpapers can be a bit expensive to cover an entire room. A stylish and cost-effective way to incorporate these stunning designs in your home is by using them as wallpaper panels. Wallpaper panels are also a great way to use a busy wallpaper in a small room. The amount of white space between the panel makes the space look bigger.

4. 2022 Wallpaper Trends with Geometric Patterns

Abstract wallpaper is very chic and is a great choice for minimalistic, modern and contemporary homes. It uses innovative colours, flowing lines, and organic shapes to create artistic flair and expression. It can transform your walls into a superb piece of art by itself or help elevate the beauty of the entire room.

For instance, a kaleidoscopic wallpaper will be a stunning and innovative backdrop in a contemporary living room. Paired with plush, snow-white furniture, pendant lamps, a low, grey, stone table and a neutral shag carpet, it will make a modern living room the epitome of sophistication.

5. Traditional Indian Wallpaper Design for Home

People still lean towards very European or American themed wallpaper but wallpaper with traditional Indian motifs can look spectacular in any style of home. Motifs like paisley, ikats, big florals and woven tribal prints are very popular all over the world in cushions, rugs and throws and are now making their appearance on wallpaper too.

The best part of going completely Indian is that you can experiment with a spectrum of vibrant hues. For instance, drape an accent wall with an ikat print and use the same print in other colours for your cushions and dhurries to bring it all together melodiously. Using textures like silk, raw silk and brocade on the walls will add more drama and opulence.

8. Innovative Use of Wallpaper Décor

Wallpapers, these days, are not stuffy and quaint but are exuberant design tools that are used not just to adorn the walls but in other unexpected ways. Some innovative spaces that look gorgeous when adorned with wallpaper include the back of bookshelves and glass fronted cabinets. A complementary colour for the wood or the wall paint can give a very dramatic effect.

Add a whimsical element to your house wallpaper design by mixing the wallpaper with the natural features in your home. 

10. Calming Wallpaper Designs for Bedroom

The bedroom should be an oasis from the mad pace of the outside world and a soothing wallpaper is a good choice. But this does not mean that the wallpaper should be boring. Pick a deep textured velvet wallpaper for a large opulent bedroom. In a contemporary modern bedroom, a simpler neutral palette, geometric pattern will give a sense of calm.

For a truly unique aesthetic, use a vintage design wallpaper on the bedroom wall and combine it with an antique iron bedstead, lace linen and curtains to give your bedroom a very cosy, Victorian feel.
