Wallpaper - Born To Roam

Our Born To Roam wallpaper brings the nostalgic charm of a classic road trip into the home, designed by Janelle Penner. The vintage-style illustrated scene depicts a sunshine yellow car and matching travel trailer navigating a scenic coastal route framed by tall evergreen trees. In the background, distant hills and rolling mountains meet a calm body of water that reflects a warm orange sky with soft clouds, finished with the hand-lettered phrase "GET LOST IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION". Printed as made-to-measure mural wallpapers on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure, this design offers an inviting, scenic focal point that is straightforward to hang.

In the room

Because the composition functions as a complete illustrated landscape, we see this wall mural working best on a main, uninterrupted wall where the full journey from the winding road to the distant horizon can unfold. In a living room, placing this wallpaper behind a low-profile sofa allows the evergreen trees, mountains, and sky to remain visible across the width of the room. It also feels right at home in a vacation home living area or guest bedroom, where the earthy outdoor theme and adventurous narrative naturally complement a relaxed atmosphere.

Styling it

The retro, 1970s revival feel of the illustration pairs naturally with mid-century modern furnishings or casual, vintage-inspired interiors. We would balance the detailed scenery by choosing furniture with clean lines and low silhouettes, preventing large pieces from blocking the car and road details at the base of the mural. Warm wood tones, such as teak or medium oak, echo the golden warmth in the sky, while natural upholstery in textured canvas or corduroy reinforces the nostalgic travel aesthetic without competing with the painted character of the artwork.

Colour combinations

The illustration is built around an earthy palette led by sunshine yellow on the car and trailer, rich forest greens in the evergreens, warm orange tones in the sky, and soft blues along the water. To complement these shades, we suggest surrounding the wall mural with warm off-white or soft cream on adjacent walls and trim to keep the room bright and let the scenery stand out. For accent pieces or soft furnishings, muted mustard, rust, or deep olive green will naturally pick up on the specific tones found within the wallpaper.
