Wallpaper - Up and Away

Our Up and Away wallpaper fills the wall with a whimsical sky of hot air balloons drifting across a deep teal background. We designed the repeat with varying scales of striped and solid balloons in soft coral, creamy white, muted mint, and warm butter yellow, interspersed with tiny floating party balloons and delicate golden star specks. The flat, graphic collage style gives the pattern a cheerful storybook character without feeling visually cluttered. Produced as made-to-measure mural wallpapers on PVC-free paper with a subtle physical paper structure, this design brings an imaginative sense of wonder to any wall.

In the room

We see this design working naturally in children's rooms, nurseries, toddler bedrooms, and playrooms where its storybook spirit feels right at home. The deep teal backdrop provides enough visual anchor that the wallpaper can easily hold a feature wall behind a cot or bed without disappearing into the background. Because the balloon motifs vary in size and spacing, the pattern maintains its rhythm across wider uninterrupted walls, giving children plenty of details to spot from across the room. In smaller play areas, using it on an accent wall keeps the space feeling open while still delivering a playful focal point.

Styling it

To balance the graphic energy of the balloons, we suggest keeping the surrounding furniture clean and grounded. Low-profile painted furniture in warm ivory or soft cream lets the wallpaper carry the decorative focus. For natural materials, light woods like ash or birch work beautifully against the teal backdrop without introducing competing visual weight. Simple solid bedding or rugs in cream or muted coral will echo the balloon stripes while keeping the overall room calm and inviting.

Colour combinations

The wallpaper is built on a rich teal base, layered with soft coral, peach, buttercup yellow, pale sky blue, and warm cream. When choosing paint for adjacent walls or woodwork, a soft ivory or warm off-white creates a gentle contrast that lets the teal pop. For a more enveloping, immersive look in a playroom or bedroom, you could pull the deep teal onto surrounding trim or cabinetry. Warm terracotta accents, soft mint textiles, or muted yellow details in decorative pillows and storage baskets will naturally tie back to the balloon patterns.
