20 Cool Wallpapers That Reflect Today’s Top Trends
08:29Remember the days when wallpaper was an outdated design feature that demanded to be removed? Today that couldn’t be further from the truth. In fact, we’re in the middle of a full-fledged wallpaper revival! From geo forms to layered botanicals, current patterns feature thoughtful designs and loads of originality. Minimalist patterns are as popular as decadent ones, and thanks to a range of options that includes removable wallpaper, even renters can enjoy the magic. Keep reading for a collection of 20 cool wallpapers that showcase today’s top design trends…
Geo Style
Geo forms are everywhere in today’s design realm. From textile patterns to objets d’art, geo style is a top modern trend. No wonder the world of wallpaper includes so many geo designs! Some are ultra minimal, while others channel a more ornamental past. ferm LIVING’s Lines Wallpaper is inspired by Art Deco motifs. Golden lines shine against a deep blue background. Since the pattern is also available in Grey, Mint, Off-white, Cashmere and Graphite, there is ample opportunity to snag just the right color for your space.
Designed by Taylor Murphy Design Studio, CB2’s Judd Aqua Wallpaper features geo forms drawn in watercolor. The result: softer edges on these aqua 3D shapes. If you’re looking to create the perfect accent wall, this statement wallpaper just might be the answer:
Also from CB2 is this Cross Hatch Circles Gold and Navy Wallpaper. Hand-printed exclusively by Hygge and West for CB2, this gorgeous modern wallpaper features thin gold brushstrokes in intersecting lines, forming a fluid pattern of circles against a navy backdrop.

For a sprinkling of geo style, ferm LIVING’s Confetti Wallpaper is festive without being over the top. It’s hard to imagine a room in the house where this pattern wouldn’t thrive. If Gray is too dark for your palette, you can also find this pattern in Mint, Rose and Off-White.
Nature’s Bounty
One of today’s top wallpaper trends is the prevalence of plant and animal motifs. Sometimes both plants and animals make an appearance on the same wallpaper pattern! Nature’s bounty is showcased in all of its glory, with motifs that range from the classic to the modern. How stunning is this Boreas Teal Wallpaper from Graham & Brown?! An undeniably modern take on branchy style, Boreas features a metallic pattern on a textured teal background. Note that this wallpaper can also be ordered in Soft Gray, Deep Gray, Midnight and Natural:
It’s as much about movement as it is about the fish with Graham & Brown’s Flow Black Wallpaper. The combination of black and peachy pink is striking, and there’s something about this wallpaper that makes it picture-perfect for the powder room. If you love the pattern but are looking for a more subtle palette, check out Flow in Mist.
For another take on sea life against a black backdrop, give CB2’s Jellyfish Black Wallpaper a good look. Perfect for powder rooms or any room in need of a dreamy underwater motif, this pattern includes a range of bright hues, from peach and orange to light and dark blues. For a more subtle approach, check out a variation in Ivory.
Decadence is the name of the game with Allure from Graham & Brown. Jewel tones reign, and there is plenty of opportunity for them to pop against the pattern’s matte black background. Moody, contemplative and opulent are three words that accurately describe this wallpaper featuring hand-painted florals.
Also from Graham & Brown is Jardin Gray. Shades of teal, yellow and pink stand out against the gray tones of this garden-themed wallpaper. If you’re a fan of birds, butterflies and flowers, you’ll appreciate the way this pattern uses color to put a modern spin on timeless motifs. Note that Jardin Gray comes in three additional background variations: magenta, teal and black.
Amazing things happen when plants and animals combine in a wallpaper pattern. Urban Outfitters’ Chillin’ Cheetahs Removable Wallpaper channels elements of the desert, while also including plenty of plant imagery. A black background brings everything to life:
Dense vegetation in deep green graces CB2’s Kimolia Paradise Green Wallpaper. The pattern is big on botanical style, so don’t be afraid to get lost in this posh forest. Also available in “Ocean Black“, which combines shades of grey, white and black.
