What’s Next for Walls + Windows: 10 Design Trends to Watch in 2027

What’s Next for Walls + Windows: 10 Design Trends to Watch in 2027

The way we decorate our homes is becoming much more personal. Pattern is returning, historic references are finding new life, and color, texture, and nature are showing up in unexpected places. Even the surfaces we once overlooked, from ceilings to bathroom windows, are becoming opportunities to do something a lot more interesting. As we look ahead to 2027, here are ten interior design trends we’re watching, with ideas for bringing each one home through wallpaper and window film.

1. The Return of Pattern

After years of pared-back interiors, pattern is finding its way back into the home. The new approach focuses on adding rhythm, structure, and personality.

On the walls: Wicklow
A hybrid stripe-and-plaid, Wicklow brings a slightly irregular rhythm to the wall. Its midcentury influence feels structured without being rigid, making it an easy way to introduce pattern into living rooms, bedrooms, and home offices.

On the windows: City Block
City Block takes a similarly tailored approach to the window. Its textured pattern feels almost like a woven suit, adding subtle sparkle, privacy, and a distinctly modern layer of pattern.

2. Old World, New Mood

Historic motifs are being reconsidered for contemporary rooms. Florals, ornamental patterns, etched glass, and centuries-old textile traditions can bring depth and history to a space without making it feel stuck in the past.

On the walls: Calicot
Rooted in the historic Indienne tradition, Calicot draws inspiration from the richly patterned cotton textiles that traveled from India to Europe in the 17th and 18th centuries. Flowering branches and curling leaves give the large-scale pattern movement and warmth, balancing historic ornament with a fresh sense of scale.

On the windows: Classico
With an interlaced repeating design, etched details, and touches of sparkle, Classico brings the elegance of decorative glass to the window. Sophisticated and timeless, it bridges traditional pattern and contemporary interiors with ease.

3. Nature, Abstracted

Biophilic design isn’t disappearing, but representations of nature are becoming more interpretive. Reflections, fragments, shadows, branches, and organic movement can evoke the outdoors without relying on a traditional botanical print.

On the walls: Monet’s Summer
Photographed by Pacific Northwest photographer TJ Thorne, Monet’s Summer captures birch trunks, blue sky, and leaves reflected across moving water. The landscape becomes softened and distorted, creating an expressionistic composition that feels almost painted.

On the windows: Twiggy
Tiny branches scatter across Twiggy’s frosted surface, creating an understated botanical pattern with just a hint of sparkle. Its delicate scale makes it especially adaptable to windows large and small.

4. Privacy Without the Blinds

Privacy is becoming part of the design conversation. Instead of covering windows completely, decorative film can obscure the view while preserving one of a room’s best features: natural light.

On the windows: Old English
One of our bestselling window films, Old English transforms ordinary glass with the appearance of traditional leaded glass. It offers privacy while allowing daylight to continue moving through the room.

Pair it with: Avignon Petite
Avignon Petite brings peonies, forget-me-nots, poppies, cosmos, and bluebells into an intimate floral composition. Its smaller scale makes it especially suited to powder rooms, kitchens, bedrooms, and other spaces where privacy and atmosphere often go hand in hand.

5. Texture You Can See

Texture doesn’t have to be something you can touch. Plaster, woven surfaces, privacy glass, concrete, wood, and other tactile references are increasingly being translated into visual pattern.

On the walls: Spackle Check
Spackle Check gives classic plaid a textured twist. Layered, irregular lines cross into a loose check with the appearance of hand-worked spackle, landing somewhere between graphic structure and organic imperfection.

 

On the windows: Texture Twelve
One of our most popular films, Texture Twelve instantly gives a standard window the appearance of dimensional privacy glass. It’s understated enough to work across styles while still changing the way light moves through a room.

6. The Collected Home

The most interesting rooms increasingly feel assembled over time, not designed in a single afternoon. Vintage references, artwork, botanical studies, heirloom-inspired details, and unexpected objects create homes with a sense of story.

On the walls: Field Notes
Drawn from vintage naturalist watercolor field guides dating to 1882, Field Notes brings the curiosity of an old botanical collection to the wall. Delicate illustrations of leaves and blooms make the pattern feel nostalgic, observant, and alive.

On the windows: Heritage
Heritage carries that collected sensibility into the window. Inspired by decorative leaded stained glass, confetti glass details catch the light alongside soft pinks, muted reds, and subtle sparkle. A Studio Exclusive available only through Artscape, it feels like a rare architectural detail discovered rather than added.

7. Color Gets Personal

The most interesting color story for 2027 may not be one particular color at all. Instead, we’re interested in homes becoming less beholden to universal palettes and more reflective of the people living in them.

On the windows: Sunset
Sunset mimics a tree canopy against a colorful sky, with warm stained-glass-inspired tones and Arts and Crafts influence. As daylight changes, so does the experience of its color.

On the walls: Design Your Way + Blossom Season
Our Design Your Way collection takes personalization further by letting you customize select patterns for your space. Blossom Season, inspired by an 18th-century botanical engraving and the work of Georg Dionysius Ehret, becomes a starting point for creating a botanical wall that feels distinctly your own.

8. Small Spaces, Big Ideas

Not every design decision needs an entire living room. Powder rooms, breakfast nooks, small kitchens, reading corners, entryways, and individual windows offer some of the best opportunities to experiment.

On the walls: Storybook Magic
Diane Catchpole’s Storybook Magic unfolds as a panoramic world of animals, landscapes, and subtle fantastical elements shifting between day and night. In a smaller room or nook, the walls can become an environment of their own.

On the windows: Valencia
Valencia brings citrus-filled color to the window with warm oranges, leafy greens, and the glow of stained glass. Its high level of privacy makes it particularly at home in kitchens and dining spaces where a smaller window can become a focal point.

9. The Fifth Wall (and the Forgotten Window)

Look up. Ceilings are becoming another place for pattern, color, and atmosphere. At the same time, the window itself is increasingly being treated as a decorative surface rather than something that simply needs to be covered.

Overhead: Breeze
Hand-drawn clouds drift across Breeze, a pencil-inspired wallpaper filled with buoyancy and romance. Installed overhead, it turns the ceiling into an airy landscape and makes the often-forgotten fifth wall part of the room.

On the windows: Clouds
And since we’re looking skyward, why stop at the ceiling? Clouds frosted window film creates a soft, airy pattern across glass while allowing natural light in and providing a high level of privacy.

10. Homes That Feel Like Us

Perhaps the biggest shift is permission to make our homes more like us. Rooms can be imaginative, strange, romantic, playful, dramatic, quiet, or all of the above. They don’t need to look like everyone else’s.

On the walls: Tiger Country
Adapted from an original painting by Mary Alayne Thomas, Tiger Country invites tigers, cranes, birds, a watchful lynx, flowering vines, and botanical detail into an immersive landscape. It’s expressive, transportive, and unapologetically its own world.

On the windows: Porto
Porto brings another distinct point of view to the room. Its Art Deco-inspired geometry transforms glass with an elevated pattern and soft, inviting light.

Make 2027 Your Own

Trends can inspire us, but the best rooms are the ones that become personal along the way. A little pattern. A window that catches the afternoon light. A ceiling covered in clouds. A tiger wandering across the bedroom wall. Walls and windows are two of the largest surfaces in our homes. In 2027, we think they deserve to be part of the story.
