Hellooooo my little Flamingos!
Today is all about glorious wallpaper and its latest trends! Yes, I said GLORIOUS! There is just no other word for it.
Here’s the deal: Wallpaper itself is timeless. People have used it for centuries, so I honestly cringe a little when I hear the term, “wallpaper trends,” because wallpaper is so much more than just a trend.
Wallpaper is a statement.
It has this amazing psychological ability to pull you in. It’s a way to time travel, and escape to another place. “Wallpaper trends,” have always had that magical effect on humans. The only thing that changes is us and how we use it.
Sooooo because there have been many changes as of late to how we use wallpaper I want to share the latest wallpaper trends I have my eyes on. I can’t have my Typsy Flypsy flamingos living in FOMO.
You deserve better!
So, without further ado, let’s get started.
I’ve broken down the latest wallpaper trends into 3 categories:
1) The WAY we use wallpaper
2) WHERE we use wallpaper
3) And WHY we use wallpaper
Finally, I’ll give you some good ol’ Typsy Flypsy tips on HOW to use wallpaper along with some amazing deals from my favorite wallpaper company, DeccoPrint. USE MY CODE TYPSYFLYPSY35 FOR 35% OFF YOUR ORDER AT DECCOPRINT
1) Latest wallpaper trends: The WAY we use wallpaper
One wallpaper trend I have noticed this year and
absolutely love are murals. Talk about making a statement or adding a focal point to your home! This is such a creative way to tell a story and makes for a good talking point.
Most murals are large in size so my only recommendation here is to make sure you place it in a bigger room like a living room or dinning room. Avoid small spaces like bathrooms, pantries, or hallways because you risk making the space feel smaller than it really is.
All in all though, murals bring a whole new mood to wallpaper trends and I am here for it.
Speaking of moods… That’s what wallpaper does. It's a way to cultivate whatever vibe you’re going for.
Want your space to feel vibrant? - Cool, we can do that with bright colors!
Feeling bold? You go girl! - Bring on the maximalist wallpaper!
Feeling girly, but also powerful? - It’s all about those sulky floral prints!
Maybe you’re feeling more easy-breezy? - Sweet, tropical print it is!
These are just a few of the latest wallpaper trends I am seeing make a name for themselves in 2023. It makes my Typsy Flypsy heart so happy to see these fun exciting trailblazers replace the bandaid color theme we’ve seen hog the spotlight for so long now.
No judgment if that’s your style - it just ain’t mine!
2) Latest wallpaper trends: WHERE we use wallpaper
I’ve never been asked or have asked the cheesy, “come here often?” pick up line (proudly married to my highschool sweetheart!) BUT that’s exactly what I want to ask the wallpaper I see in unexpected places.
I’ve seen and have also completed projects using wallpaper as framed art work, on bookshelves, inside dresser drawers, doors, ceilings, the list goes on and on.
One of my absolute favorite pieces in my office is a framed piece of wallpaper.
And here is one of my favorite flips. I used this vibrant wallpaper to spruce up an old worn down dresser. The limitless amount of creativity wallpaper provides is a dream come true to an artist like me (and since you’re reading this, probably you too).
This is a wallpaper trend that I am beyond excited to see! Honestly, I get more excited to see how and where people will use wallpaper, than I get watching my favorite reality tv shows, and that’s saying a lot.
Popping popcorn, and pouring the wine now. I can’t wait to see what y’all do!
3) Latest wallpaper trends: WHY we use wallpaper
Alright onto the whys. This is the most fascinating element of wallpaper because it has so much to do with psychology. Have you ever wondered why we even use wallpaper or are drawn to the latest wallpaper trends?
It’s not just because we want to “keep up with the Jones.” There is a lot going on in our brains when we see wallpaper, whether we realize it or not.
Here are 2 main reasons we use wallpaper and their correlating trends you are sure to see in 2023.
To be pulled into another dimension
This can happen in a lot of ways and right now I am seeing a ton of stripes make their debut this year. Especially vertical stripes. This is a fabulous opti
on for rooms you wish were more spacious because it can create the illusion of a room being bigger than it actually is. This is because with vertical lines, you draw the eye up and down.
For an additional tip, opt for shiny wallpaper or add mirrors to make your space feel even more sizable!
Travel to another world or era
Groovy shapes, fun, bright, and (sometimes) bold tones will have you back in the retro days. You’ll feel funky and fresh as you’re taken back to the 70’s with this wallpaper trend!
Old English vibes are making their way back into the 21st century with their dainty flowers and elegant designs. I adore this wallpaper trend so much because I feel like I am taken to a whole other era. The little travel bug in me loves it!
Fancy a cup o’ tea, mate? (Said in British accent)
And finally…
Latest wallpaper trends: HOW we use wallpaper
Here’s how we can do it my little flamingos…
Use DeccoPrint! As mentioned earlier, they are my all time favorite wallpaper brand. Not only do they charge a fair price, their quality is unbeatable, and they have a wide selection of prints to choose from. Featuring some of the wallpaper trends we talked about.
Opt for peel and stick wallpaper. Regular wallpaper is great too, but this is what I recommend, as it allows for you to make changes to spaces as needed.My famous flamingo wallpaper was peel and stick and I can not emphasize how easy the process was!
Be creative and brave! Figure out the vibe you’re going for and just go for it. Don’t be afraid to try any of these latest wallpaper trends. I like to think of wallpaper (especially peel and stick) as a hair cut, if you don’t like it you can always change it. It isn’t permanent (Click here for Tips on how to pick the best wallpaper for you)
