Wallpaper - Retro Cat, Green

Created by Carrie Cantwell, our Retro Cat, Green wallpaper brings a mid-century graphic sensibility to life with playful charm. A stylized black cat with an elongated neck, curved tail, and vivid green almond eyes sits prominently against a textured jade green background. Coral pink ear accents and floating retro-style starbursts add lively contrast and whimsy to the flat illustration. Produced as custom made-to-measure mural wallpapers, each print is PVC-free and features a subtle structure in the wallpaper paper, making it a characterful focal point for any creative interior.

In the room

Because the central cat silhouette is bold and expressive, we like giving this design an uninterrupted feature wall where its sweeping curves and starry backdrop can be appreciated in full. It works exceptionally well in a home office, creative studio, or teenage room, bringing an upbeat artistic energy to work and leisure zones. In a living room or bedroom, placing this wall mural behind a low-profile sofa or bed frame keeps the artwork visible without awkward interruptions. For smaller spaces like an entryway or powder room, the striking graphic scale adds unexpected personality to compact wall areas.

Styling it

To complement the vintage 1950s aesthetic, we would pair this wallpaper with mid-century modern furniture silhouettes featuring tapered legs and clean lines. Warm wood tones, such as walnut or teak, provide a grounded natural balance to the bold graphic illustration.

Keep surrounding decorative elements relatively clean to let the central motif lead the space. Matte black metal accents, such as lighting fixtures or framing, echo the cat's dark silhouette, while simple ceramic vases or minimalist shelving maintain an uncluttered look that lets the retro charm shine.

Colour combinations

The design is anchored by saturated jade green, deep solid black, bright feline green, and touches of soft pink. To build a cohesive palette around the mural, consider painting adjacent walls in warm off-white or muted sage to let the vibrant green backdrop stand out as the hero color. For a more adventurous, high-contrast scheme, accents in coral pink, ochre yellow, or charcoal black pick up on the graphic details and create a dynamic, retro-inspired color story across textiles and decorative pieces.
