Wallpaper - 42nd And Lexington

Designed by Julia Dreams, our 42nd And Lexington wallpaper brings a distinctive 1970s revival rhythm to the wall through flowing, interlocking paisley-inspired teardrop shapes. Bold outlines define each curving segment, filled with hunter green, deep teal, rich burgundy, and muted dusty rose, accented by delicate graduated dot details along the tips. The dynamic, rhythmic repeat creates continuous visual movement across the surface, giving the graphic composition an artistic, playful energy. Printed made-to-measure on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure, this design offers an expressive backdrop for creative living spaces.

In the room

We see this wallpaper working especially well in a home art studio, creative workspace, or teenage room where an energetic graphic rhythm feels right at home. The flowing geometry of the repeating shapes gives the wall continuous diagonal movement, which can energize a compact room or turn an accent wall behind a study desk into an inspiring visual focal point. Because the pattern has a strong repeat and deep contrasting tones, we often prefer using it on a single uninterrupted wall where the full geometric flow can unfold without being cut off by high wardrobes or multiple doorframes.

Styling it

When styling around such a lively 70s-inspired pattern, we recommend balancing its energetic curves with clean, simple furniture lines. Mid-century modern furniture pieces with understated silhouettes work naturally alongside the retro aesthetic without competing for attention.

To keep the room grounded, choose warm wood tones such as teak, walnut, or stained oak for desks and shelving. Surrounding textiles and upholstery work best in solid, unpatterned fabrics that let the wallpaper carry the pattern work in the space.

Colour combinations

The design itself centers around deep hunter green and teal tones balanced by saturated burgundy, soft blush pink, and a pale ivory background.

For adjacent walls and painted trim, we suggest pulling out the softer dusty pink or a gentle warm off-white from the background to keep the surrounding space bright and balanced. If you prefer a richer, more enveloping feel in a study or creative room, a deep forest green or muted dark burgundy on adjacent woodwork creates a striking, cohesive companion to the mural wallpapers.
