Wallpaper - Those Were The Days II

Our Those Were The Days II wallpaper brings together sweeping abstract shapes, graphic stripes, and rich retro colour blocks to create an expressive seventies-inspired statement. Flowing vertical bands in deep orange run alongside contrasting cream and black striped motifs, grounded by curved sections of blue and soft yellow. The bold, graphic composition balances rhythmic line work with broad fields of colour, giving the pattern an energetic, artistic presence on the wall. Produced made-to-measure on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure, our wallpaper delivers a striking design feature tailored to your space.

In the room

In a living room, we especially like this design on a wide, uninterrupted accent wall where the full sweep of the vertical curves and striped shapes can unfold without being cut short. The large visual scale and strong graphic movement make it an engaging backdrop behind a low sofa or along a main open wall in an art studio or creative workspace. Because the pattern carries significant visual weight and contrast, giving it breathing room lets the fluid shapes set the tone for the entire room. In spaces with good natural daylight, the balance between the deep orange and cooler blue tones stays crisp and vibrant throughout the day.

Styling it

When styling around this design, we prefer keeping surrounding furniture shapes relatively simple and low-profile to let the wallpaper carry the decorative focus.

• Low-slung seating with clean horizontal lines prevents the tall, flowing vertical curves of the wallpaper from feeling crowded.
• Mid-century modern furniture in warm wood tones, such as teak or dark oak, naturally complements the seventies graphic character of the motif.
• Solid upholstery in neutral cream or charcoal grounds the room, allowing the energetic stripes and popping orange tones to stand out cleanly.

Colour combinations

The design itself features a verified palette of deep orange, sky blue, soft yellow, cream, and contrasting black. When choosing colors for adjoining walls and woodwork, a warm off-white or soft cream drawn directly from the light stripes keeps the room open and cohesive. If you prefer a richer, more enveloping feel, pulling a deep charcoal or warm amber tone into painted trim or accent furniture highlights the graphic intensity of the wall murals while maintaining visual harmony.
