Trends By Photowall
From mindful Japandi to playful stripes, this season marks a shift toward more expressive, personal interiors where classic styles are reinterpreted with a modern edge, and with Photowall, finding the right expression for your walls becomes a way to create a personal backdrop for everyday life.
1. Simply Japandi: From Aesthetic to Philosophy
Japandi, where Japanese minimalism meets Scandinavian design, has become a modern classic. This season, we see a shift towards a deeper, more thoughtful interpretation. Moving beyond the clean aesthetic, the focus turns to the philosophy behind the style: wabi-sabi and kintsugi, where imperfection, balance, and authenticity take center stage.
Dainty Floral Pattern – Green Beige Wallpaper
Soft florals, big impact. This charming wallpaper, with its delicate floral pattern in a gentle green and beige palette, brings a touch of understated elegance and natural beauty to any interior.
“Japandi is no longer just a look – it’s a mindset. We see a growing desire for interiors that feel calm, honest, and lived-in, where imperfections become part of the story,” says Katarina Matsson, design advisor at Photowall.
Get the look: Kintsugi-inspired motifs, drawing on the traditional mending technique using gold, abstract landscapes, and elements from Japanese art create a subtle yet expressive base. Defined by earthy tones, organic patterns, and Wabi-Sabi elements, the collection invites a slower, more mindful way of living.

2. Delicate Florals: A Softer Take on Nostalgia
Florals remain a spring staple, but this season we see a growing love for ditsy, small-scale floral patterns. Inspired by heritage prints and vintage textiles, this trend connects closely to the ongoing cottagecore movement – where romantic, lived-in spaces take center stage. These smaller, more intricate florals create a gentle rhythm on the wall, offering a subtle alternative to larger statement prints while still adding personality and charm.

“We’re seeing a clear shift towards softer, more nostalgic interiors. Ditsy florals bring a sense of comfort and familiarity – they make a space feel personal rather than styled,” says Katarina Matsson, design advisor at Photowall.
Get the look: Choose soft, muted color palettes or faded tones to create a relaxed, nostalgic feel. Layer with natural materials and vintage-inspired décor for a home that feels both curated and effortless.

3. Bold Checks: Playful Heritage
Checks are making a strong comeback – from classic gingham to oversized grids – but with a more playful and expressive twist. This season, we see checks becoming bolder, more irregular, and sometimes intentionally naïve in their expression. Moving away from strict symmetry, these patterns bring energy and personality into a space, balancing familiarity with a contemporary edge.

From delicate pinstripes to bold, high-contrast bands, stripes are being used not just as decoration, but as a way to shape and define a space. This season, stripes are moving beyond the walls. The “fifth wall” – the ceiling – is becoming an important design surface, where stripes add unexpected depth and visual interest.
