Wallpaper - 42nd And Lexington

Our 42nd And Lexington wallpaper, designed by Julia Dreams, brings an expressive 1970s retro rhythm to the wall through interlocking paisley-inspired teardrop curves and bold graphic lines. The composition layers deep hunter green and teal tones alongside dusky rose pink and rich burgundy red, balanced by delicate dot accents and pale blush negative space. The dynamic diagonal flow gives the surface a lively, undulating movement that instantly defines a room. Made-to-measure on our PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure, it offers a confident graphic statement that remains easy to hang.

In the room

We see this wallpaper working especially well in spaces that welcome a sense of personality, such as a creative art studio, a vibrant teenage room, or a dedicated hobby space. Because the curving shapes create continuous diagonal movement, the repeat flows naturally across wider uninterrupted wall areas where the full pattern can unfold.

In a compact room or study, placing the mural wallpaper behind a desk or a reading nook establishes an energetic focal point without requiring heavy decorative elements elsewhere. The balance between dark hunter green and lighter rose allows it to sit comfortably on a feature wall or wrap across adjoining walls in an eccentric, design-led space.

Styling it

The distinct seventies revival character of our design pairs naturally with mid-century modern silhouettes, curved retro furniture, and clean contemporary pieces that mirror its flowing geometry.

• Choose warm wood furniture or lacquered finishes in rounded shapes to echo the soft contours of the teardrop motif.
• Introduce upholstery in plain woven fabrics or bouclé, keeping surrounding patterns minimal to let the wallpaper lead the visual focus.
• Add lighting fixtures in aged brass or matte black to subtly pick up on the graphic outlines and deep tonal depths of the design.

Colour combinations

The palette in our wallpaper centres around deep hunter green, muted teal, burgundy red, and soft dusty pink set against an off-white, pale blush ground.

When choosing paint for surrounding surfaces, we suggest drawing out the deeper tones with a rich dark green or warm charcoal for a dramatic, immersive feel. For a lighter, more open balance on adjacent walls or woodwork, a soft plaster pink, warm chalky off-white, or muted stone works beautifully to highlight the paler accents in the print.
