Wrapping your walls in style and stepping onto trending tiles.
As we step into Summer 2025, the world of interior design continues its vibrant evolution, with wallpaper and tile leading the charge in transforming spaces. We’re seeing a beautiful blend of nature-inspired motifs, luxurious textures, and classic patterns re-imagined for the modern home.
Wallpaper wonders:
Bringing art to your walls.
Wallpaper is no longer just an accent; it’s a statement piece, a mood-setter, and a way to infuse personality into every room. Here’s what’s making waves this June:
Nature’s embrace.
Biophilic design remains a strong trend, and wallpaper plays a key role. We’ve previously posted about the influence of biophilic design on home interiors. Expect to see an abundance of botanical prints, from delicate florals and lush jungle scenes to more abstract interpretations of leaves and organic forms. The aim is to bring the calming essence of the outdoors in.
Textural allure.
Forget flat finishes! Textured wallpapers are incredibly popular, adding depth and tactility to walls. Think grasscloth, linen, paper weaves, and raffia, creating a sense of warmth and understated luxury. Some even feature 3D effects for an even more immersive experience.
Artistic murals.
Large-scale murals are gaining traction, transforming entire walls into works of art. These often feature soft, expressive lines, whimsical landscapes, and natural forms. If you are feeling especially creative, you can even upload photos of your artwork to adorn your walls.
Toile de Jouy.
Classic patterns like toile de Jouy and traditional repeat designs are being reinterpreted with fresh color palettes and contemporary motifs. This nod to the past, with a modern sensibility, creates a timeless yet current feel.
Bold geometrics & stripes.
For those who love a graphic punch, bold geometric patterns and broad stripes are making a comeback. These can add a dynamic energy to a space, and vertical stripes are particularly favored for their ability to visually heighten a room.
Subtle metallics.
A touch of shimmer is always in vogue. Wallpapers with metallic accents, particularly in gold and silver, add a hint of glamour and sophistication, catching the light beautifully.
Tile transformations:
Foundation for fabulous design.
Tiles, much like wallpaper, are moving beyond mere functionality to become pivotal design elements. We’re seeing a focus on natural materials, intriguing textures, and playful patterns:
Modern tones.
Embracing natural beauty is a top trend. This translates to tiles in warm, earthy neutrals, ranging from off-whites and creams to golden beiges, tawny, and terracotta. Marble-effect tiles also remain incredibly popular, mimicking the elegance of natural stone with added durability.
Textural & fluted finishes.
Just like with wallpaper, texture is key. Textured tiles, including those with raised patterns, undulating wave-like designs, and even those mimicking carved stone or woven textiles, are highly sought after. Fluted tiles are a standout, creating unique, multi-dimensional wall coverings.
The allure of Zellige.
These handmade Moroccan tiles, with their inherent imperfections and subtle variations, continue to be a strong trend. They add a luxurious, artisanal touch to backsplashes, bathrooms, and even accent walls.
Pattern play.
Tiles are being used to create captivating patterns in both their design and their installation. Running bond is no longer king; now, designers are more playful with tile layouts, incorporating herringbones, checkerboards, and vertical stacks. Mosaics are also making a significant resurgence, used not just as accents but as artistic centerpieces, creating personalized patterns and captivating focal points.
Whether you’re looking to make a bold statement or create a serene sanctuary, the wallpaper and tile trends of June 2025 offer a wealth of inspiration. From embracing the beauty of nature to experimenting with texture and pattern, there’s something for every design aesthetic this season.
