The wall is no longer simply a backdrop for furniture, artwork and lighting. In the new Wall/Pepper® 2026 Collection, it takes center stage.

From Japanese-inspired compositions and Nordic nature to tropical landscapes, textural surfaces and experimental collages, the Italian brand presents a catalog that transforms wallpaper into a tool for completely redefining the atmosphere of a space.

The new Wall/Pepper® 2026 Collection is conceived as a visual journey between real and imaginary worlds.

Rather than following a single aesthetic direction, the catalog is divided into several thematic collections, each representing a different way of thinking about interiors. The common idea is simple – the wall should no longer merely fill a space, but give it an identity.

From Japan to Northern Europe

The first journey leads east.

The Oriental | Ikigai Collection draws on Eastern culture, balance and contemplation. Its compositions are delicate and refined, created for interiors where tranquility, intimacy and a sense of natural harmony are essential.

The Fresco | Opus Collection introduces a completely different atmosphere, treating the wall like a painter’s canvas. Landscapes and romantic brushstrokes create large-scale artistic compositions that blur the boundary between wallpaper and mural.

With the Nordic | Hygge collection, Wall/Pepper® turns toward Northern Europe. Nature becomes the primary source of inspiration, while the wall functions as a visual connection between the interior and the landscape beyond.

These are not wallpapers designed simply to match a sofa or rug. Their role is far more ambitious – to define the character of the entire room.

Textures and Imperfections Become Luxury

The Textural | Forma Collection explores exactly what its name suggests – materiality.

Textures, irregularities and visual imperfections become central elements of the design, creating surfaces that appear almost tactile and changing the way we perceive the dimensions of a space.

In contrast to its more restrained materiality is the Tropical | Sabai Collection.

Inspired by tropical paradises, Sabai introduces more intense colors, light and a sense of carefree living, with the idea of transforming an interior into a private retreat.

There is also the Coastal | Marea Collection, inspired by light, the sea and the relaxed atmosphere of vacation homes. Fresh tones and nature-inspired motifs create airy, effortless interiors that evoke the feeling of life by the coast.

Torn Paper Becomes Art on the Wall

Perhaps the most interesting experiment in the 2026 catalog is Wall/Pepper®’s first major exploration of the world of collage.

The starting point is an incredibly simple object – torn paper.

Its irregular edges, layers and fragments have been transformed into a new graphic language through a collaboration with artist Luca Artioli.

The result is the Déchiré Collection, a series of compositions in which the physical sensation of material intertwines with the digital world. The works are presented within an imagined artist’s home, where every room becomes a gallery of its own.

This collection perhaps demonstrates better than any other just how far contemporary wallpaper has moved beyond the traditional idea of repeating a single pattern across an entire wall.

Now, the wall itself can look like an enormous work of art.

Panoramic Wallpapers for Entire Walls

Some of the new graphics are also presented as Panoramic Wallpapers, designed to cover large surfaces and create a powerful scenographic effect.

Their dimensions and customization possibilities make them particularly interesting not only for private houses and apartments, but also for hotels, restaurants and other hospitality and contract projects.

Wall/Pepper® also states that all designs can be adapted to walls of different dimensions.

This allows the graphic composition to be designed around the specific architecture of a space, rather than forcing the room to adapt to a predetermined wallpaper format.

Wallpaper Even for Bathrooms and Exteriors

Design is only one part of the Wall/Pepper® story.

The graphics can be produced on a variety of substrates, including environmentally friendly wallpapers that are pleasant to the touch, as well as materials offering additional functional characteristics.

The range includes sound-absorbing solutions, along with water-resistant substrates suitable for bathrooms and kitchens.

Fiberglass wallpapers are available for exterior surfaces, while interiors requiring a more pronounced decorative effect can be finished with sophisticated pearlescent surfaces.

The colors of the graphics can be customized for individual projects, while completely bespoke solutions can also be developed according to the requirements of an architect or designer.

It is precisely this combination of art and technical performance that best defines the 2026 collection.

Wall/Pepper® no longer treats wallpaper as a final decorative element chosen when an interior is almost complete. Instead, it can become the starting point of the entire project – the surface around which furniture, materials, lighting and colors are selected.

Because when a wall becomes striking enough, it no longer needs a work of art.

The wall becomes the work of art.
