Punjab has always loved a touch of luxury, especially gold and brass tones. The 2026 trend evolves this by mixing sharp, modern geometric patterns with subtle metallic lines.

These aren't the busy, overwhelming patterns of the past. Think clean lines—hexagons, large triangles, or abstract art deco shapes—outlined in shimmering gold, copper, or silver foil.

Why it works here: When sunlight hits these walls in the afternoon, the metallic elements reflect light, making the room feel larger and richer. It’s perfect for the main "Feature Wall" behind a TV or sofa in the drawing room. 

Flat paper is out; texture is in. This trend is all about deception—wallpapers that look exactly like expensive silk, raw linen, or woven jute fabric, but are actually tough, durable vinyl.

This is perhaps the most practical trend for our region. In Punjab, dust can be an issue. Real fabric walls would be a nightmare to clean.

Why it works here: High-quality textured vinyl is washable. You get the sophisticated, soft look of fabric, but you can easily wipe it down with a damp cloth. It’s ideal for high-traffic areas like hallways or living rooms.

Forget small, delicate floral prints. 2026 is about bold, large-scale nature. We are seeing massive palm leaves, exotic birds, and deep jungle greens and blues dominating dining areas and powder rooms.

This trend brings vibrant energy into a home. It works exceptionally well in spaces with modern furniture, acting as a piece of art rather than just a background.

Why it works here: Punjabis are not afraid of color. A bold botanical wall pairs beautifully with the dark wood furniture often found in our homes.

Want the look of expensive wooden molding or concrete panels without the construction dust and high cost? 3D illusion wallpapers are the answer.

Using clever shadowing and high-definition printing, these wallpapers trick the eye into seeing depth. You can achieve a classic fluted wood panel look behind your TV unit in just a few hours of installation.

Why it works here: It’s a quick, clean upgrade for modern apartments or homes where you want to add architectural interest without hiring a carpenter. 

For the younger demographic favoring a sleek, modern aesthetic, the "unfinished" look is huge. We are moving away from cold grey concrete towards warmer tones—creamy beige stucco, terracotta plaster, and greige (grey+beige) concrete looks.

It provides a calm, sophisticated backdrop that lets your furniture do the talking.

Why it works here: It feels cool and airy during hot summers and provides a clean, modern contrast to traditional decor elements.
