Wallpaper is making a strong comeback in 2026, becoming more tactile, sustainable, and decorative. It’s a great way to add character and personality to a mountain retreat.
Biophilic Maximalism: Embrace immersive, nature-inspired graphics and large-scale botanical prints that bring the outdoors in, perfect for a peaceful mountain setting.
Subtle Textures: “Cottage cool” is a trend that favors subtle, textured wallpapers that mimic natural materials like grasscloth, plaster, or linen, adding depth without being too busy.
Artistic Murals & Patterns: Think less repetitive patterns and more expressive, art-forward designs, including large-scale murals or abstract painterly compositions.
Sustainable & Quality Materials: Homeowners are gravitating towards high-quality, eco-friendly wallpapers made from bio-vinyl or non-woven fabrics that are durable and easy to install.
