As someone who works with wallpaper every single day, we can already see where design trends are heading for 2026. Wallpaper has been making a huge comeback in Canadian homes and businesses, and next year will bring even more exciting styles, textures, and colours.
Whether you’re updating a single accent wall or planning a full room makeover, here are the wallpaper trends we’re most excited about for 2026.
1. Natural Textures and Organic Designs
There’s something so calming about bringing a bit of nature inside, and I think this will be one of the strongest trends next year.
Expect to see a lot of wood grain, stone textures, and botanical prints. These designs make a space feel cozy, warm, and connected to the outdoors - perfect for creating a spa-like bathroom or a serene living room.
If you’ve been hesitant to try bold patterns, this is a great way to ease in. A subtle textured wallpaper can instantly elevate a room without feeling overwhelming.
2. Bold Statement Walls
I’ve noticed more and more customers moving away from plain walls and toward dramatic feature walls - and 2026 will be all about this look.
Think oversized florals, bold geometric designs, and rich, saturated colours like emerald green, deep navy, or burgundy.
This trend works especially well in dining rooms, bedrooms, or behind a sofa in your living room. It’s a simple way to add personality and depth to a space without committing to wallpaper on every wall.
3. Eco-Friendly and Sustainable Wallpapers
Sustainability isn’t just a buzzword anymore - it’s something more of us are actively looking for in our homes and businesses.
Next year, I expect to see eco-friendly wallpaper become even more popular. These wallpapers are made with recycled or natural materials, and they’re free from harsh chemicals, which makes them safer for kids and pets.
At Euro Home Decor, I always make sure to select high-quality, premium wallpapers that meet strict standards for both durability and environmental impact.
4. A Touch of Glamour with Metallic Accents
For anyone who loves a little sparkle, you’ll be happy to know that metallic wallpaper is back.
You’ll see designs with gold, silver, bronze, and even rose gold accents. Some are bold and dramatic, while others have just a hint of shimmer woven into the design to catch the light beautifully.
I especially love using metallic wallpaper in entryways, powder rooms, or hotel lobbies - anywhere you want to make a striking first impression.
5. Maximalism is Making a Comeback
We’ve all seen minimalism dominate the past few years, but 2026 is going to shake things up. Maximalism is back, and it’s here to stay.
This means layered patterns, vibrant colours, and a mix-and-match approach to decorating. It’s all about self-expression and creating a home that feels uniquely yours.
If you’ve been playing it safe with neutrals, now’s the time to have some fun and be bold!
Our Tips for Bringing These Trends Into Your Home
Start small with one feature wall to test out bold patterns or colours.
Balance dramatic wallpaper with neutral furniture so the room doesn’t feel overwhelming.
For bathrooms or kitchens, always choose moisture-resistant wallpaper to ensure longevity.
Invest in premium wallpaper - it’s easier to install and lasts much longer.
