Wallpaper is no longer your grandmother’s floral nightmare. In fact, it’s one of the most exciting—and expressive—tools in modern interior design today. From bold murals to textured neutrals, wallpaper is having a major comeback moment.


Here’s why everyone from DIYers to top-tier designers is falling back in love with the papered wall.


The return of wallpaper. Wallpaper with trending designs.

✨ 1. It Instantly Transforms a Space

Paint is fine. But wallpaper? Wallpaper adds mood, movement, and magic. Whether you want to make a small powder room feel like a jewel box or add a calming vibe to your bedroom, wallpaper gives you a visual richness that flat paint just can’t touch.

  • Add depth with grasscloth or textured weaves

  • Go bold with oversized florals or geometric patterns

  • Use wallpaper as art—create an accent wall that stuns

Tip: Try papering just the ceiling or inside built-ins for a modern twist.

✨ 2. Today’s Materials Are So Much Better

One of the biggest reasons wallpaper fell out of favor? It was a pain to install and even worse to remove.

Now? You’ve got options.

  • Peel & stick wallpapers are perfect for renters, dorms, or commitment-phobes

  • Paste-the-wall varieties go up faster and remove cleaner than older methods

  • Washable finishes make wallpaper practical in kitchens, baths, and kids’ rooms


Technology has made wallpaper smarter, stronger, and way less intimidating.



✨ 3. The Patterns Are Endless—and Elevated

From boutique designers to major brands, pattern design has exploded in the last few years. You can now find:

  • Vintage-inspired prints with modern palettes

  • Hand-painted botanicals and dreamy scenics

  • Geometric minimalism, maximalist color-blocking, or quiet neutrals


And at NestJoy, you can shop the best of it—all curated for beauty and real-life use.



✨ 4. It’s a Designer Favorite for a Reason

Look at any well-designed room on Instagram or Pinterest and you’ll spot it: wallpaper. It’s become a signature move in upscale design, especially when paired with luxe fabrics and layered lighting.

Designers use it to:

  • Create personality in small spaces

  • Add architectural interest where there isn’t any

  • Tie together a color palette effortlessly

Wallpaper is no longer risky—it’s expected.
