Wallpaper has been on trend for several years now and 2020 is no exception. Some of the leading trends in wall candy that have emerged include: botanical, colour gradient, 3D animal images and waves, monochrome, metallic and even glow-in-the-dark wallpaper. There has been a transition to incorporating more artistic flair in wallpaper designs and using different surfaces as feature walls, with bathrooms and ceilings making an appearance. To help you have fun with wallpaper in 2020, we'll discuss these stylish new trends in more detail below.

Botanical

With so many people gravitating towards a more wellness centred lifestyle, there has been a shift to bringing the outdoors indoors, making botanical wallpaper for interior design a popular choice. Whether you prefer a more subtle plantain style leaf design through to a bold sub-tropical extravaganza, the botanical trend in wallpaper offers a wide range of alternatives to personalise your home, apartment or business and help promote health and wellbeing.

Colour gradient

The colour gradient wallpaper trend will instantly revamp and add character to a more minimalistic interior. With a wide and varied palette of colour gradients available, there are shades to suit most interiors. You can also create contrasts, such as peach into green tones. It's crucial with colour gradient wallpaper that the final shade of the gradient perfectly matches the colour of your ceiling or there won't be a natural flow-on effect.

3D Animal Images

Get in touch with your wild side with this year's 3D animal wallpaper trend! You can captivate the attention of guests by having a single animal as your wallpaper feature image, like a crouched tiger breaking through your wall or even opt for a more psychedelic print, which blends animal shapes within a design so that these can only be distinguished with careful concentration.

3D Waves

The wallpaper trend 3D waves has a similar focus to the botanical theme, in trying to achieve wellness with interior design. It's ideal for those wanting to feel a sense of tranquility that only the ocean can bring. Whether you're attracted to a more traditional image of a wave barreling, through to a distorted, postmodernist wave design with added detail, such as embossed gold edges, there's a vast array of 3D wave designs available.

Monochrome

Epitomised by minimalistic styling, the black and white monochrome trend in wallpaper has been at the forefront of interior design for many years and always makes a room look stylish and contemporary. You can create striking optical illusions with monochrome wallpaper for a more futuristic look or alternatively fall back on the ever-popular "northern" pattern, perfectly suited to Scandi inspired interiors.

Metallic

The metallic wallpaper trend of 2020 is striking, sleek and modern. For the best effect combine wallpaper with both matte and metallic tones, as the contrast makes it more captivating to the eye. You can also incorporate relief metallic walls in a range of textures, the rougher the texture the more effective.

Glow-in-the-dark

You may feel a bit like you're reliving your childhood with glow-in-the-dark wallpaper if you ever had stick-on glowing plastic star constellations on your ceiling, but why not? With both phosphor and fluorescent 3D options on the market, you can create a wonderfully cosy atmosphere in your living room or bedrooms.
