Current wallpaper designs for 2023
With people still using wallpaper to transform spaces, there’s every reason to dive in with these styles for 2023. This year, aim to use wallpaper in unexpected ways from lining cupboards and drawers, perking up ceilings, to giving plain furniture some visual intrigue. As bathrooms are naturally humid spaces, opt for vinyl varieties that are mould-proof and durable. These ideas will be sure to bring life to your space:
Floral: Ever popular, floral prints are feminine and elegant, giving your bathroom the feeling of a garden. This year, they’re getting moodier in abstract shapes and darker colours.
Abstract: Because your bathroom is a self-contained room, there’s more room to experiment. What better way than with abstract shapes. The lack of recognisable shape and form can give a guest something to ponder as they use the room.
Stripes: A bathroom classic, horizontal stripes can help lengthen walls and make a small bathroom feel wider. This year, wavy stripes, in particular, are on-trend for a bathroom that conjures up relaxing days by the beach.
Geometric: Shapes like circles, ovals, rectangles, and squares can give your bathroom a crisp and modern look. Just take care to balance it with solid-coloured paint or furnishings to create a better visual flow.
Vintage: Whether you have a love of yesteryear decor or want to add grandeur to a larger bathroom, vintage wallpaper is the way to go. Embrace fleur-de-lis motifs or chinoiserie-style designs for a classically stunning look.
Subdued: Muted colours and subtle shapes in your wallpaper are a great way to add interest to a neutral space. This is great for a small bathroom that could do without overpowering features.
Black and white: This classic look never goes out of style. If you’re looking for a trendy but still practical look, black-and-white bathroom wallpaper can dazzle through contrasts.
Tropical: Get inspired by nature and create a sense of escapism with tropical wallpaper prints. From palm leaves, pineapples, to flamingos, these motifs can make your bathroom experience an adventure.
Marble: This stunning stone creates a look of absolute sophistication and is still showing up in top bathrooms in 2023. Using a marble-effect wallpaper can achieve the appearance of the stone without the price tag or permanence.
