Wall decals aren’t just a passing trend. In fact, they are here to stay. Why? Because they are versatile, affordable, easy to install and even easier to switch out.


Not only that, but they are FUN as vinyl wall decals look like a permanent fixture, but don’t come with a permanent headache.


More and more mainstream magazines, blogs and even stores are hopping on the vinyl wall decal trend. And, so should you, as we dive into the biggest wall decal trends for 2022.


  1. Bold Designs

One thing is certain: Bland, boring designs are gone. Homeowners are increasingly adding bold designs to replace the muted abstracts of the 2010s. Look for designs such as bold angels and geometric patterns to replace soft circles. 


In fact, the bolder the design the better as 3D figures make a splash in wall decals ranging from superheroes in children’s rooms to favorite athletes in teen’s rooms and beyond to daring shapes and patterns making their way from guest bathrooms and into main living rooms.


  1. Bold Color

While white will stick around as a mainstay, homeowners are looking to replace their quiet gray with more and more color. And instead of grabbing a paint can, more people are looking to vinyl decals to satisfy their need for more color. 


Whether it’s wall paper or smaller peel-and-stick designs, bright colors and hues are moving from city walls to suburban homes in droves. Believe it or not, farmhouse designs are still in high demand, but the colors inside are becoming richer and bolder with each passing year. 2022 will be no different!


  1. Bold Personality

After the Great Housing Boom of 2020-21, more people will be looking to plant roots and make their new house a home well into 2022. Look for vinyl decals to follow suit as more people look for decals to evoke personality. 


Whether it’s a funny quote in the laundry room or an ode to tacos, the bolder the better when it comes to expressing their voice and personality through vinyl wall decals.

  1. Bold Quotes

Last but not least, wall decals are increasingly moving away from one-word quotes and moving more and more into inspirational anchor pieces. The same is true for 2022 as wall decal quotes are taking center stage as they take up entire walls instead of just a portion of them. 

 

Living room wall decals that say ‘Family a little bit loud. A little bit crazy. And a whole lot of love’ on a living room wall.

 

Along with expressing your personality, bold quotes serve as a way to set the temperature of your home — and the level of transparency you expect from those inside it. As the saying goes, “YOLO” (you only live once) and vinyl wall decals in 2022 will be the first place to express your bold views through bold sayings on your walls.
