Wallpaper - Retro Hoops

Designed by Julia Dreams, our Retro Hoops wallpaper brings a distinct 1970s revival feel to the wall through rhythmic, split-colour geometric forms. Vertically aligned modular hoops and arch shapes interlock across an army green backdrop, balancing warm ochre, soft sand, muted cream, and deep forest green tones. The flat graphic forms carry a subtle woven, textile-inspired visual character that gives the repeat warmth and structure without feeling rigid. Made to measure on our PVC-free paper with a subtle physical surface structure, this design offers a playful yet grounded presence in creative spaces and modern living rooms.

In the room

In a living room, we see this pattern working especially well on an uninterrupted feature wall behind a low sofa or credenza, where the vertical rhythm of the geometric hoops can stretch from floor to ceiling. The stacked composition draws the eye upward, giving open spaces a structured architectural balance. Because the palette relies on grounded earthy shades rather than loud contrasts, it also sits comfortably in a home art studio or creative study across multiple walls, framing work surfaces without feeling visually noisy.

Styling it

The bold 70s geometry pairs naturally with mid-century modern furniture shapes, particularly pieces with softened edges and low profiles. We would lean into warm wood tones such as teak or walnut to echo the ochre and sand sections of the wallpaper.

To keep the room balanced, choose upholstered seating in quiet, solid textures like bouclé, matte wool, or flat-weave fabric. Surrounding the wall murals with ceramic accents in warm terracotta or matte off-white helps draw out the smaller geometric elements while keeping the overall room calm and intentional.

Colour combinations

The motif is built around an army green base layered with earthy ochre, soft sand, deep forest green, and pale muted cream. When decorating around these wallpapers, you can take a few different directions depending on the mood you want to create:

• Matching surrounding walls to a muted olive or army green paint creates an enveloping, cohesive look where the mural wallpapers blend smoothly into the room.
• Pairing the design with warm off-white or soft linen trim highlights the off-white elements within the geometric shapes, bringing a crisper graphic clarity to the pattern.
• Introducing accents in warm rust, camel, or deep amber directly complements the ochre blocks and enriches the vintage warmth of the space.
