THIS YEAR, EXPECT walls (and floors) that tell stories. Tactile finishes – from decorative plaster to embossed wallpapers – add drama, while mural-style patterns turn surfaces into dynamic art pieces. Reclaimed wood and stone bring natural vibes, while green walls and biophilic touches create feel-good spaces that engage the senses. It’s all about layering depth and personality. Handcrafted details, like embroidered coverings and bespoke installations, speak to a growing demand for individuality. Maximalism meets eco-consciousness, as bold designs embrace sustainable materials, redefining what it means to design consciously. Interiors across retail and restaurants are becoming immersive and sensory, where surfaces are no longer just backgrounds – they’re experiences. — Georgia Mizen
