Pretty much every house I’ve ever loved has one thing in common: an unexpected pop of wallpaper. In my childhood home, our dining room ceiling mimicked a nighttime sky. Then there was the house I babysat in, where the mom—a vintage interior designer—constantly played with new wall colors and prints.

Most recently, I was reminded of my love of wallpaper by Schumacher & Co’s Mr. Darcy paneled set. Inspired by Pride & Prejudice, it transforms walls into an English storybook garden—just one example of how statement wallpaper is making a major comeback. While I’ve always been a fan, it seems more and more people are embracing bold wallpaper prints, floral patterns, and vintage-inspired murals in their homes. That’s because they are—and we consulted some experts to find out why.


So Why Wallpaper Now?

As we move away from the gray, minimalist aesthetic that dominated interiors for years, wallpaper is enjoying a well-deserved revival.

Jessica Hanley, founder and CEO of Piglet in Bed, has noticed the resurgence firsthand and even launched a wallpaper line on her site.

“Printed wallpaper has made a huge comeback, and I think it’s largely driven by the desire to create spaces that feel more personal,” she explains. “After years of minimalism, people are embracing design choices that bring character and coziness to their homes.”

Zaynab Bajwa, the popular creator behind The New York Nest, agrees. Known for restoring her 100-year-old home, she’s no stranger to printed wallpaper and has similarly seen its popularity surge.

“I think people are more open to having their homes reflect their personality and wallpaper is a great way to express yourself,” she says.


What Patterns Are Trending?

So, what kinds of prints are designers leaning into?

“Soft, nature-inspired prints that bring warmth and lightness to a space,” Jessica shares. “Florals are a classic choice, but this season, I’m especially drawn to delicate botanical motifs, ginghams, and painterly stripes.”

Zaynab is also a fan of florals for spring.

“I know it’s cliché, but a floral pattern for spring brings so much life into a space. If you don’t like florals, you can also lean into a classic pastel damask print,” she suggests.


Wallpapering Tips From the Experts

If you’ve never wallpapered before, don’t worry. Both Jessica and Zaynab agree that it’s easier than it seems.

“The key to a smooth wallpapering experience is preparation,” Jessica advises. “Make sure your walls are clean, dry, and smooth before you start. If you’re using traditional wallpaper, measuring carefully and applying an even layer of adhesive is important. Take your time aligning the first panel—if that’s off, everything else will be, too! A common mistake is rushing through the process and not smoothing out air bubbles as you go.”

Zaynab adds, “Literally YouTube the exact wallpaper you’re using, and I’m sure someone out there has uploaded a helpful video! That’s what I did when installing my bedroom mural. Just remember, if it’s peel-and-stick, it’ll be a lot easier on your own. Anything else? Maybe hire an expert. Also, murals are much harder because you have to match up all the lines and panels. A repetitive print is less stressful.”
