Wallpaper borders were one of the biggest trends of the 90s, and three decades later they are back for a new generation of interior aficionados, according to Fiona Wallpapers.

Fiona Howard Wallpapers' collection of three designs offer a fresh take for interior design. Comprising Jasmine Leaf, Sunflower and Squiggle, the Border Collection was created to complement existing Fiona Howard designs, or to be used as a standalone interior statement.
Fiona Howard, Founder of Fiona Howard Wallpapers, said: “Wallpaper borders were huge in the 90s but fell out of fashion as minimalism and neutrals took centre stage. However, as homeowners once again embrace maximalism and punchy colours, borders are making a comeback.
“But the biggest difference between now and the 90s is how we use them. With social media inspiring many interior design decisions, homeowners are becoming bolder and more creative.”

Squiggle is a 60s-inspired design. Measuring a diminutive 8.6cm in height, Squiggle was created to be used as a decorative border around architectural features, such as windows, doors and wardrobe panelling. It is available in six colourways and exudes mid-century styling.

Nature-inspired Sunflowers offers a stylised take on the classic floral and has been created to bring joy wherever it is used, be it a nursery or child’s bedroom or the more utilitarian spaces of the home such as the kitchen and bathroom. Use it around the top of a room or above panelling in a breakfast nook for a standout finish. Blackcurrant and Putty are among the five colours it is available in.

| Jasmine Leaf in Bark Hires from Fiona Wallpapers A lovely fresh border of a twisting leaf vine in one colour on a white background. |
Jasmine Leaf is wide and generous, making a design statement where it is used. Whether it is used to add interest above a dado rail or in a half-panelled room, this botanical-inspired border will command attention. It’s available in five different colourways including Bark and Turquoise, which are both tipped to be THE shades of 2026, according to Fiona Howard.
Fiona said: “Unlike wallpapering entire walls or rooms, hanging a border offers a fuss-free style update, especially for those short on time or working to a strict budget.”
The new borders can be used to create a visual division in a room and complement half-wall wood panelling, as well as add drama and interest as a ceiling border, and are also impactful when used to frame windows and doors, as well as when applied to furniture pieces like dressers and headboards for a personalised touch.
