Wallpaper - Those Were The Days III

Our Those Were The Days III wallpaper pairs flowing marbled ribbons of black, cream, and dark orange with a backdrop that transitions from warm orange to cool blue. Bright pops of yellow accent the upper composition, giving the graphic curves an expressive 1970s revival feel. The dynamic contrast between the rich base tones and clean contoured shapes brings strong artistic rhythm to the wall. Produced as made-to-measure murals on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure, our mural wallpapers are straightforward to hang and make a confident statement.

In the room

Because the flowing lines have such pronounced movement, we especially like this design on a wide, uninterrupted wall in a living room. Placing the pattern behind a low sofa or credenza allows the full sweep of the curves and color gradients to remain visible without feeling interrupted.

In a home art studio or creative study, the bold palette adds graphic character without requiring a cluttered gallery wall. The liquid forms work particularly well on a feature wall where the wallpaper can anchor the space, though larger rooms with generous ceiling height can comfortably carry the pattern across adjoining walls.

Styling it

To let the dynamic marbled pattern remain the focal point, we suggest balancing the room with furniture that features clean, understated silhouettes. Mid-century modern or retro-inspired pieces in warm teak or dark wood echo the 1970s character of the motif without competing with its rhythm.

For surrounding furnishings, matte black metal accents or simple upholstered seating in neutral cream help ground the vibrant color shifts. Keeping adjacent decorative objects simple and sculptural ensures the wall retains its bold, artistic impact.

Colour combinations

The wallpaper itself combines deep orange and rich dark orange with cream, solid black, cool blue, and accents of bright yellow.

When choosing paint for adjacent walls or woodwork, a soft warm off-white or light linen tone creates a quiet frame that lets the mural stand out. If you prefer deeper contrast, pulling out the dark charcoal or black from the linework for window trims, shelving, or baseboards sharpens the graphic feel. For larger upholstery or rugs, warm amber, muted rust, or dusty slate blue complement the shifting background naturally.
