If the walls of your home could talk, they’d probably be sighing right now. Winter was long. The beige is tired. The cupboard doors are peeling like a dodgy sunburn, and that “modern grey” living room? More drizzly Tuesday than chic Scandi lounge.
Spring 2025 has officially arrived — and with it comes a fresh excuse to rip up the rules (not the floorboards) and give your space the personality it’s been quietly begging for. But before you break out the sledgehammer or accidentally start watching DIY YouTube at 2am with power tool delusions, hear us out.
Vinyl wrap is here to save the day. Again.
What was once the hidden weapon of upcyclers and budget landlords has now sauntered confidently into the mainstream — think low-commitment design that’s big on style, gentle on your wallet, and ideal for renters and commitment-phobes alike.
So, what’s hot in the world of vinyl wrap this spring? We’ve unwrapped (sorry) the biggest trends of 2025 to help you transform your home from dull to dreamy, one sticky surface at a time.
1. Earth Tones Are the New Neutrals
Remember when neutral meant grey? Yeah, us too — bleak times.
This spring, we’re stepping into warmth, and not just from the occasional sunbeam through your dusty windows.
Think: terracotta, clay, sand, olive, rust, sage. These are the vinyl wrap colours that feel grounded, calming, and just rustic enough to make your rented flat feel like a Tuscan retreat (minus the vineyard, sadly).
These shades work especially well in kitchens, bathrooms, and accent furniture. Sage green cabinets, for example, are having a full-blown moment right now — pairing beautifully with white countertops, black hardware, and smug declarations like “we’re going for an earthy minimalism vibe.”
2. Faux Stone and Marble That Isn’t Embarrassing
Let’s be honest: fake marble used to be the interior design equivalent of a spray tan in the rain. But in 2025, faux finishes have levelled up — and vinyl wrap has embraced the glow-up.
Matte marble, concrete, travertine, and soapstone effects are not only realistic now, they’re downright beautiful. Wrap your countertops, tables, sideboards, or even your window ledges for that effortless “I drink flat whites and journal in natural light” aesthetic.
Want the Monocle magazine look without dropping thousands on stone slabs? Vinyl’s your new best mate.
3. Retro Revival: 70s Patterns & Colours
Good news for lovers of boldness, brass, and a bit of funk: the 1970s are back, but make it chic.
Expect to see vinyl wraps in burnt orange, mustard yellow, avocado green, and patterns that scream “vintage” without the cigarette smell.
Use retro wraps on cabinet doors, tabletops, or upcycled IKEA pieces. You can even mix and match patterns for a clashing cool aesthetic that looks intentional rather than “accidental student house.”
Pro tip: Pair loud 70s tones with sleek, contemporary furniture to avoid the Austin Powers effect.
4. Textured Looks Without the Faff
You know what looks amazing but is an absolute ballache to install? Real wood panelling.
You know what gives you that same cosy, dimensional look without sanding, sealing, or crying into your spirit level? Textured-effect vinyl wrap.
Vinyls now come with realistic embossing and subtle grain that mimics natural materials. Think Scandi birch, washed oak, or mid-century teak — ideal for warming up white walls, upgrading cupboard doors, or even faking an architectural feature wall.
It’s a tactile trend that makes your home feel more inviting, without the faff of traditional carpentry. You’ll spend less time DIY-ing and more time basking in compliments from nosey visitors.
5. Two-Tone Kitchen Cabinets
Gone are the days when everything in your kitchen had to match like a bad school uniform. The big look for Spring 2025 is two-tone cabinets — usually a lighter tone on top (like off-white, cream, or pale green) and something deeper below (navy, forest green, or even matte black).
Vinyl wrapping is the easiest way to experiment with this look without permanently altering your kitchen. It’s a quick, reversible way to test out a bolder style — ideal for renters, commitment-averse homeowners, or anyone who’s ever painted a cupboard and instantly regretted it.

6. Matte Black Still Reigns Supreme (But With Friends)
Matte black has held onto its interiors crown for years now — and it’s still a stunner, especially for handles, trims, tapware, and contrast accents.
But in 2025, it’s being paired more playfully: think matte black & blush pink, or black & cane textures, or even black on warm woods.
Vinyl wrap makes this aesthetic more accessible. Try wrapping a wardrobe or internal door in matte black, then adding soft peach bedding or gold-framed prints to balance it out. The vibe? Moody but soft. Like if a poet redecorated a loft flat.
7. Moody Florals & Murals for Statement Walls
We’ve passed the peak of “Live Laugh Love” wall decals, thank the heavens. Now, the bold are embracing wrap murals and floral vinyls that make a proper statement.
Think large-scale peonies in deep indigos and burgundy, jungle prints in muted greens, or abstract line art in neutrals. Peel-and-stick murals are a great vinyl variant that let you fake custom wallpaper for a fraction of the price.
Use them in hallways, behind your bed, or in a loo so stylish it deserves its own Instagram account.
8. Metallic Accents (But Keep It Classy)
We’re not talking full-on gold bathroom syndrome here — just hints of brushed brass, copper, or champagne-toned metallics used strategically.
Wrap drawer fronts, handles, or even the edges of a bookcase for a touch of glam without tipping into Love Island villa territory. This trend shines (literally) in darker rooms or those craving a bit of character.
Think of metallic vinyl as the jewellery of your home: best worn sparingly, but a total scene-stealer when done right.
Why Vinyl Wrap Is Having a Serious Design Moment
Here’s the thing: vinyl wrapping is no longer a secret weapon. It’s a main character move. With sustainability on the brain, cost-of-living stresses, and a generation of renters crying out for design freedom, vinyl ticks all the boxes:
- Low cost, high impact
- Temporary and removable
- Minimal mess
- DIY-friendly
- Endless customisation
Spring is the perfect time to refresh your space, and vinyl lets you do that without the endless trips to B&Q, the paint fumes, or the existential crisis about grout colour. It’s a way to fall back in love with your home — or at least tolerate it until your lease ends.
So whether you’re going full maximalist with 70s prints or keeping it cool with sage and marble, remember this: your home doesn’t need to be perfect. It just needs to feel more like you this spring.
