Wallpaper - Boombox Love

Designed by Mercedes Lopez Charro, Boombox Love brings vibrant eighties nostalgia to the wall through a bold, illustrated cassette player with a hand-painted watercolor look. Centered against a clean white background, the retro boombox features rich navy and cool grey shading, playful sticker details, and popping accents of bright pink, coral, and sunny yellow, finished below with the text "KEEP CALM AND PRETEND IT'S THE 80'S". As with all our wallpapers, this design is custom made-to-measure and printed on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure.

In the room

Because of its strong graphic focal point and centered composition, we see this wall mural working particularly well on an open, uninterrupted accent wall. In a teenage room, playroom, or creative hangout area, placing the mural behind a low bed, a desk, or a casual seating arrangement keeps the boombox illustration and lettering fully visible. The generous white space surrounding the central motif keeps the overall impression light, making it equally fitting for compact bedrooms and larger, open spaces.

Styling it

We suggest leaning into the playful retro energy while keeping surrounding furniture clean and graphic:

• Choose simple furniture with contemporary lines or subtle mid-century nods, letting the graphic artwork stand out as the primary visual feature in the room.
• Bring in pops of bright accent colors through cushions, a desk lamp, or small decor pieces that pick up the magenta handle, cassette tape, or yellow sun graphic from the artwork.
• Pair the design with light or painted wood finishes, which keep the overall aesthetic airy and youthful without overwhelming the wall mural.

Colour combinations

The illustration combines deep navy, indigo, and soft steel greys with energetic pops of hot pink, warm red, golden yellow, and white. Around the wallpaper, crisp white or off-white paint on adjoining walls allows the design to blend naturally with the rest of the room. For a bolder look, you can pull the deep navy or cobalt blue from the speaker cones onto painted shelving or adjacent walls, grounding the design while letting the brighter eighties neon accents stand out.
