Wallpaper - Down Vibes

Our Down Vibes wallpaper, designed by Veronique Charron, brings a spirited retro rhythm to the wall through vertical chevron stripes. The geometric composition alternates between solid, screenprint-inspired arrow blocks and lighter line-drawn chevron outlines dotted with small black accents. A warm off-white backdrop balances saturated blocks of rusty red, orange, olive green, bright turquoise, and sky blue, giving the pattern an energetic 1970s revival feel. With its clear vertical movement and hand-printed graphic look, this wallpaper adds an upbeat decorative focal point to any interior. Like all our mural wallpapers, it is custom made-to-measure on PVC-free paper with a subtle physical surface structure.

In the room

The distinct vertical bands create an uplifting sense of height, making this design especially effective in rooms where you want to draw the eye upward. We see it working naturally in a playroom, kids' room, or creative teenage room, where the playful geometry and vibrant colour blocks create an inviting, energetic backdrop.

Because the chevron columns repeat in orderly vertical stripes, the pattern works equally well on an accent wall behind a low bed or sofa, or across multiple walls in a lively hallway staircase. In a family living room or downstairs bathroom, giving the design a clear, relatively open wall allows the full sequence of colours and alternating linework to unfold without feeling crowded.

Styling it

To let the graphic chevron pattern lead the space, we suggest keeping larger furniture pieces relatively simple in form and finish. Natural materials with clean silhouettes, such as mid-century light wood storage units or painted white frames, ground the playful motif without competing for attention.

Textiles in muted, solid textures provide an appealing contrast to the crisp geometric lines. Pairing the wall with a solid flat-weave rug or simple cotton bedding in neutral tones helps anchor the room, while a few small accessories echoing the rust or turquoise tones in the pattern can tie the wider scheme together nicely.

Colour combinations

The wallpaper features a vibrant primary palette of rust red, warm orange, olive green, teal, and bright blue, set against a gentle cream background with subtle charcoal dotting.

When choosing surrounding paint colours for adjacent walls or woodwork, a soft warm white or off-white matched to the wallpaper's ground creates an effortless, cohesive backdrop. For a moodier or more deliberate retro look, picking out the deep olive green or warm rust from the chevron blocks for surrounding shelving, doors, or painted baseboards adds depth and continuity throughout the space.
