2. Floral

The classic floral wallpaper is back with a new spin. Last year saw a surge in bold floral and nature-inspired looks. It is no surprise that everyone's minds have turned that way during the last six months.

3. Retro

You might have thought you'd left those '70s designs behind with your childhood. But thanks to the on-going trend for all things retro, retro wallpaper has become a new go-to for homes hoping to make a statement.

4. Geometric

Sharp geometric style wallpaper is still making a statement on the walls of Instagram. Many people have even taken to recreate the look on a budget with tape and paint.

Many of us won't be able to get away on holiday this year, however, that hasn't stopped us getting festive with tropical wallpaper. From botanical prints to palm trees, tropical wallpaper has racked up 8,253 hashtags.

6. Damask

This glamorous wallpaper slid into sixth place, with 5,720 hashtags.

7. Abstract

Abstract wallpaper is perfect for creating an on-trend mural at home. It has racked up 3,348 hashtags on Instagram, and we can see if racking up quite a few more this year.

8. Scenic

Whether it is decorating a nursery or a dining room, a scenic wallpaper will take a home from ordinary to extraordinary. However, we would recommend only using it as a feature wall, rather than covering the whole room.
