Wallpaper - Seventies Waves

Created by Lisa Wirenfelt, our Seventies Waves wallpaper brings together abstract forms with a distinct retro energy. Flowing across an off-white background, a dynamic cobalt blue wavy band anchors the composition alongside an irregular orange motif, an open circular blue form, and a soft rounded green shape. Each element features a textured, brushstroke-like visual character that lends warmth and depth to the flat graphic layout. Our wall murals are made-to-measure on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure, creating an expressive focal point in living rooms, creative home offices, and playrooms.

In the room

We like how this design balances bold, graphic presence with open space. Because the composition relies on generous negative space around the abstract shapes, the motif breathes well across both large feature walls and more compact rooms. In a living room or open-plan dining space, placing the wallpaper along an uninterrupted main wall allows the full fluid movement of the blue wave to unfold naturally.

For a home office, study, or creative studio, the playful interplay of forms brings an artistic character that enlivens the room without feeling visually crowded. The design also translates beautifully into spaces like nurseries, children's rooms, or powder rooms, where the soft curves and cheerful forms establish an inviting, modern atmosphere.

Styling it

When styling our mural wallpapers featuring strong abstract art, we suggest letting the wall carry the primary visual interest. Pair the design with furniture that has clean, simple contours, such as low-profile mid-century seating or minimalist contemporary pieces with gently rounded corners.

To complement the rich cobalt and warm orange tones, look to natural wood finishes like warm oak or teak. Incorporating smooth ceramic accents, matte painted surfaces, or simple woven textiles helps echo the relaxed, artistic character of the brushstroke-like artwork while keeping the surrounding decor grounded.

Colour combinations

The palette in our wallpaper centres on an off-white foundation layered with bold cobalt blue, energetic orange, soft green, and gentle pastel accents. To build a cohesive interior, we suggest drawing directly from these distinct tones for adjacent walls and surrounding accessories.

A soft warm white or pale off-white on surrounding walls and trim allows the mural to feel naturally integrated into the space. For a richer accent palette, deep cobalt blues and muted terracotta shades work particularly well in upholstered chairs, cushions, or painted shelving. Soft sage green and pale pastel tones also pair effortlessly, providing a quiet counterbalance to the vibrant orange and blue focal points.
