Paint brands have already published their colors for 2027, and the shared direction is easy to read: softer, greener, warmer and more tactile. Below are nine wallpaper trends for 2027 across color, pattern and texture, each with designs from Livettes you can look at today. Where a trend rests on an announcement we name the source. Where it is our own read of what works on a wall, we say so.
Sage and soft greens
Green is the clearest signal. Dezeen reports that Dulux named Soulful Sage its Colour of the Year 2027. Benjamin Moore announced Webster Green, which it calls a confident hue with undeniable personality, and Sherwin-Williams announced Celery, which it describes as an airy, herbal green. Kitchen & Bath Business reports that Behr chose Grounded. When that many large brands land in or near the green family, wallpaper follows. Sage suits walls because it behaves like a neutral with a little life in it. Look at Soft Sage Limewash Design Wallpaper, Royal Bloom Wallpaper In Sage Color or Sage Green Banana Leaf Wallpaper. More designs sit in the sage green wallpaper collection.
If you want sage on one wall only, pick the wall behind the bed or the sofa and keep the other walls in a warm white, so the green reads as a choice and not as a whole new room.
Soft, calm blue
The Nord Room reports that Valspar named Cottage Door, a cozy blue, its 2027 Color of the Year. On a wall, a pale blue sits well in bedrooms and bathrooms where you want quiet rather than drama. Try Japanese wave wallpaper, Rain Blue Geometric Wallpaper or Oversized Light Blue herringbone wallpaper. The full range is in light blue wallpaper.
Blue also pairs well with the greens and browns in this list. A pale blue wall with a warm timber floor or a coffee-brown chair is an easy combination to live with.
Dusty pink
Homes & Gardens reports that Graham & Brown named Rose Earth, a dusty pink, its 2027 Color of the Year. On a wall, pink with some earth in it reads grown-up. Clay tones and muted florals carry it best, for example Modern Clay Pink Textured Limewash Wallpaper, Rosy Floral Wallpaper or Pink botanical foliage wallpaper. Browse the soft pink wallpaper collection for more.
Pair dusty pink with sage or warm brown in the same room, and it stops looking sweet and starts looking considered. Keep the furniture simple and let the wall carry the color.
Warm browns and coffee tones
Brown is back as a color in its own right. Homes & Gardens reports that Little Greene picked Marle, a soft brown, as its Color of the Year 2027, and that Dunn-Edwards chose French Press, a rich coffee brown, as its color of the year. Both point to warm brown rather than heavy dark shades. In wallpaper that means plaster and limewash looks, such as Dark Neutral Venetian Plaster Wallpaper and Minimal Limewash Textured Wallpaper, or a classic check like Classic neutral plaid design wallpaper. See the whole brown wallpaper collection.
A brown wall suits rooms with lots of natural light, where the color stays warm instead of heavy. In a smaller room, a limewash look gives the same color with a softer, cloudier finish.
Gingham and checks
Homes & Gardens lists gingham first in its report on the pattern trends designers expect for 2027. A check is an easy way to bring pattern into a room without a busy result, especially in a color you did not expect. Compare Blue watercolor gingham pattern wallpaper, Green Gingham Plaid Wallpaper and Pink Buffalo Check Wallpaper. All of them sit in the gingham wallpaper collection.
Scale matters. A small check works as a quiet background in a hallway or kitchen, while a larger check makes a stronger statement behind a bed or a dining table.
Refreshed florals
The same Homes & Gardens report lists traditional florals among its 2027 pattern trends. Our suggestion is to look for fewer heavy bouquets and more open, airy flowers in muted color, such as Hazelnut Color Floral Wallpaper, Blue Peonies Wallpaper or Dreamy Pastel Flowers Wallpaper. Find similar prints in modern floral wallpaper.
If a floral feels like too much for a whole room, try it on a single feature wall or in a nursery, and keep the rest of the room plain so the flowers have space.
Whimsical murals
The same Homes & Gardens report names whimsical murals as a pattern direction for 2027. A mural turns one wall into the focus of the room, and it suits the softer palettes above: Bold Floral wall mural, Line Art wall mural and Pastel Ombre wall mural inspired by pampas grass all work with calm colors around them. The full wall murals collection has more to compare.
A mural works best on a wall without too many interruptions, so a bed wall, a reading corner or a long hallway wall are good places to start.
Grasscloth and tactile surfaces
This one is our own read rather than an announcement. When colors get quieter, texture does the work that bold color used to do. Patterned grasscloth designs pair a soft tone with surface interest, for instance Mocha Color Floral Design Grasscloth Wallpaper, Light Sage Dots Grasscloth Wallpaper or Abstract Wave Grasscloth Wallpaper. They are worth a look if sage or mocha is already on your list. Browse patterned grasscloth wallpaper.
Because the pattern sits on a textured surface, it can look quieter than a flat print in the same color. That makes it a good fit for studies, dining rooms and calm bedrooms.
Stone, marble and terrazzo looks
Sherwin-Williams calls its 2027 forecast Rewild, a theme built around nature, and stone patterns fit that mood. This pairing is our interpretation, not a stated forecast. Natural-stone prints give a wall depth without a loud motif: Emerald green malachite wallpaper, White marble herringbone tile wallpaper and Pink Stone Terrazzo Wallpaper show the range. See marble wallpaper for the rest.
Stone looks suit bathrooms, kitchens and entryways, where a tile or marble feel makes sense, but they also work in a living room as a calm, quiet backdrop.
How to try a 2027 trend with samples
A color that looks right on a screen can change on your wall, so test it first. Order a sample of two or three designs from one trend, tape them next to your sofa, curtains or floor, and look at them in morning light and again in the evening. Livettes offers a sample book and sample bundles such as the 3 floral wallpaper design samples, so you can compare before you commit to a full wall. Many Livettes designs can also be ordered in custom colors, which helps if you want a 2027 shade such as sage or dusty pink in a pattern you already like. If you cannot decide, start from the bestsellers. To see how this year compares, read our wallpaper trends of 2026.
