In 2025, we will witness a shift towards personalisation and boldness in the interior design and home decor space. It is a year where everything that was supposedly trendy and uniform such as “pinterest walls” or “fast furniture” will take a back seat. As we manoeuvre in 2025, there has been a significant change in the perception of design and how one views their personal spaces. In search of calmness, serenity and spaces that feel unobstructed, many homeowners jumped on the bandwagon to create spaces inspired from Pinterest aesthetic or similar concepts. However, in pursuit of clean spaces and trendiness there was a clear lack of personalisation and character that defined spaces.
Ever since last year, there has been a departure from trends like minimalism and bland uniformity that dominated the spaces of most households. The same trend will spill over wallpapers where instead of tried and tested patterns, the emphasis will be on choosing designs that feels unique and narrates a personal story. Your wallpapers and interior designs should resonate with you and be reflective of how you live and what you love.
1. Stripes Wallpaper (but with a twist)

Stripes in bold and maximalist patterns will dominate the wallpaper design trends in 2025. Choose wallpaper designs that are bold in colours but find a way to deflect their dominance on the rest of the room. You may also take professional assistance from an experienced interior designer or a home improvement expert. Consider the length, breadth, and the scope of your room before selecting a striped wallpaper. Don’t restrict yourself to simple and bland shades. Bring a flair of eccentricity and quirkiness to your room by choosing whimsical colours and stripe patterns. To balance the intensity of design and colour, you may go for pastel shade or monochrome furniture, or use neutral toned accents. By doing so, you will be able to revamp your living space and avoid the feeling of overwhelming it.
2. Biophilic Design & Sustainable Wallpaper

The term biophilic design is used in the context of architecture. It refers to building spaces that are close to nature or natural elements. This includes creating indoor-outdoor spaces, maximising natural lighting, creating manicured landscaped gardens, etc. The same theme can be applied to wallpaper designs where the indoors reflect the outside and natural world. Whether the biophilic designs are visually represented on the wallpapers or are used in a tactile manner, the purpose is to create a sense of calm and tranquility. These wallpapers are often made from water-based ink technology and latex printing, making them non-toxic. Make sure the “eco-friendly wallpaper” you choose is free of heavy metals and formaldehyde.
The theme of sustainability and use of eco-friendly materials such as recycled fibres or organic materials are indispensable when searching for biophilic wallpaper designs. A great example of this use of grasscloth wallpaper, which adds both colour and texture in your spaces. Sustainability goes hand-in-hand with the idea of timelessness. Choosing wallpaper designs that are timeless in their appearance are less likely to get replaced frequently, thereby reducing waste and over consumption.
3. Vibrant Colours and Bold Patterns

Say goodbye to the cold and monotone hues of all white, grey, and beige—the year 2025 is all about vibrancy and boldness in the interior design world. When selecting wallpapers or wall murals, look for energetic colours such as coral, yellow, turquoise, and embolden patterns. Through vibrant hues and bold patterns, the intention is to add fantastical, whimsy and cheekiness to your walls without making it look over the top. Amplify the character of your walls with an intricate pattern, add a layer of depth by choosing unusual motifs or simply add nature-inspired symbols such as lush foliage, flowers, palm fringes, cacti, etc.
4. Mix and Match Designs

Your living spaces must resonate with what you like and how you’d like to exude your personal designs and aesthetics. For mixing and matching wallpaper designs make sure that chosen tones of the wallpapers complement each other well. While mix and matching of wallpaper designs comes to personal preferences, we are sharing some of our ideas that will help you create a perfect mix and match wall design for your home.
You can mix floral design patterns with striped patterns and choose colours that augment each other’s presence. Think of a wallpaper with blue and white flowers on a grey background and match it with a wallpaper featuring off-white and grey stripes. Another design you can consider for mix and match is contrasting small and big motifs or patterns. Such designs usually work well with floral patterns where embolden flower prints are presented in sharp contrast with small and intricate patterns, creating a visual treat to the eyes. Feel free to explore with more colours and design patterns.

It’s time to move ahead with embolden motifs and depart from “pinterest-esque minimalist aesthetics”. Maximalism will be a huge theme in the interior decor and wallpaper designs. It’s all about creating a drama through abstract patterns, bold prints and vibrant colours. Whether it’s the use of geometric shapes or floral patterns, the strong and ornamented designs will provide a modern design and an extended depth to wallpapers.

The same theme is applicable on wallpaper designs with a significant shift from minimalism and embracing a more exclusive, distinctive and individualised style for living spaces.
