Colour of the year 2027 wallpaper takes the shades Britain's paint makers have picked for next year and prints them as made-to-measure murals. Dulux chose Soulful Sage, a soft, silvery green. Little Greene went warmer with Marle, an ochre-led mid-brown. Across the Atlantic, Sherwin-Williams and Behr also landed on greens. This edit pairs those tones with leafy botanicals, painterly textures and quiet landscapes. Each design is printed to your wall in centimetres, so it fits a chimney breast, an alcove or a full feature wall. Pantone names its own 2027 colour in December, and we'll add it here once it's announced.
Dulux Soulful Sage and the 2027 Shades
Dulux revealed Soulful Sage as its Colour of the Year 2027 in September. It's a greyed-off green with a silvery edge, designed to sit happily in warm, neutral or brighter schemes. Dulux also released three supporting palettes, called Glow, Light and Lift, to help people build a room around it.
Other 2027 picks worth knowing:
- Little Greene, Marle: a soft mid-brown built on yellow ochre. It brings an earthy, heritage warmth.
- Sherwin-Williams, Celery: a muted green with a gentle yellow lift.
- Behr, Grounded: a deep, mossy olive.
- Valspar, Cottage Door: a dusty, lived-in blue.
Put together, the message for 2027 is simple: soft greens lead, with warm browns and quiet blues alongside.
How Soulful Sage Behaves in British Light
Our light is cooler and greyer than in most trend photos, so it's worth thinking about which way your room faces.
- North-facing rooms: sage can look cooler here. Choose a mural with cream or ochre in the design to warm it back up.
- South-facing rooms: sage stays soft and fresh all day. Paler, airy botanicals work beautifully.
- East and west-facing rooms: the colour shifts through the day, so a textured or painterly mural hides the change better than a flat print.
If you're unsure, start with a single wall and let the rest of the room stay neutral. Our sage green wallpaper range covers everything from pale mist to deeper herb tones.
2027 Colours in Period and Modern Homes
Trend colours look different in a Victorian terrace than in a new-build flat. Here's how to make them work in each.
Victorian and Edwardian Homes
Use a sage botanical mural on the chimney breast and leave the alcoves plain. Picture rails and cornicing frame the design well. Marle-style ochre browns suit dark floorboards and original fireplaces.
1930s Semis
Soft greens and dusty blues sit nicely with bay windows and curved details. Try a muted blue landscape in the front room, or a green texture in the hallway to make it feel less narrow.
New-Build Homes and Flats
Plain walls and open layouts suit larger, calmer designs. A full-width olive or sage mural behind the sofa can give a new-build room a focal point. Browse our olive green wallpaper for richer tones.
Earthy Browns and Soft Blues for 2027
Not everyone wants green. Little Greene's Marle and Valspar's Cottage Door point to two other moods for 2027.
Warm browns feel cosy in snugs, dining rooms and bedrooms. They pair well with walnut, leather and aged brass. See our brown wallpaper for ochre, tobacco and clay tones.
Soft blues suit bathrooms, guest rooms and box rooms. They feel calm without going cold, especially next to warm white woodwork. Find more in our blue wallpaper collection.
Renting? Try a Trend Colour Without the Paint
Most tenancy agreements don't allow repainting. A peel and stick mural is a simpler way to bring a 2027 shade into a rented flat. It sticks straight to clean, dry, painted walls and peels away when you move out.
Before you start:
- Check your tenancy agreement and ask your landlord or letting agent.
- Test a small piece in a hidden corner, especially on fresh or matt paint.
- Wait at least four weeks after any repainting before you hang.
Our rental wallpaper page has more renter-friendly designs.
Made to Measure, in Centimetres
Every mural here is printed to the width and height you give us, in centimetres. Measure the widest and tallest points of your wall, then add a little extra for trimming at the skirting and ceiling. Our measuring guide explains it step by step, including walls with sloping ceilings and alcoves.
Pantone Colour of the Year 2027
Pantone usually reveals its Colour of the Year in early December. When the 2027 shade is announced, we'll add matching murals to this page. Until then, the Dulux and Little Greene picks give a clear lead on where British interiors are heading.
Last Year's Pick: Cloud Dancer
Pantone's 2026 colour, Cloud Dancer, is a soft, warm white. It still works well as a calm base for 2027 greens and browns. Read our Cloud Dancer guide or browse white wallpaper for pale, layered designs.

Sage and muted blue are the most restful choices. Sage feels soft and grounding, while a dusty blue like Cottage Door gives a cooler, quieter mood. Both look good behind an upholstered headboard.
