- Elizabeth Rees, Founder of Chasing Paper and Author of Wall Flowers: A Love Letter to Wallpaper

While looking ahead to 2027, Chasing Paper compiled additional trend predictions for what will be hot in interior design throughout the year ranging from print layering to an emphasis on texture.
Don’t expect print layering, or the art of combing multiple patterns, to go anywhere any time soon. The thoughtful combination of wallpaper, fabric accents and art creates depth within a room, making it feel personally curated. One of the easiest ways to layer is mixing and matching cohesive prints across wallpaper and window accents, like curtains, cornices or drapery.

To create depth within a room’s design, there needs to be emphasis on texture. When furniture,
curtains and wallpaper all have a different texture, there is added contrast and visual interest.
Faux grasscloth wallpaper, which grew in demand by 136% in 2026 compared to 2024, is a
great way to incorporate texture into a room while also offering the benefit of durability.

Children’s rooms and play areas are going to embrace whimsical and illustrative design
elements instead of neutral color palettes and minimalist décor in 2027. Kids are full of wonder, and their spaces should evoke that same feeling, so expect to see more dainty flowers, fun and
youthful color palettes, and quirky stripes showing up in children’s design. Wallpaper, murals and art prints are an easy and effective way to transform a plain room into one that feels like it is straight out of a storybook.
