Wallpaper - Gentle Rainbow

Our Gentle Rainbow wallpaper brings a calm, uplifting rhythm to a wall with its sweeping arches in soft pastel shades. Rendered with a delicate watercolour appearance, the seven bands in pink, peach, yellow, green, light blue, lavender, and rose flow smoothly against a clean white backdrop. We particularly like how the subtle tonal variations and gentle brush texture give the horizontal rainbow an airy, hand-crafted feel without overwhelming the surrounding space. Made to measure on our PVC-free paper with a subtle physical surface structure, this design offers an inviting, artistic atmosphere that feels light and balanced.

In the room

We see this design working naturally in children's bedrooms, nurseries, toddler rooms, and dedicated playrooms where you want gentle colour without visual clutter. Because the arches form a broad horizontal composition, we especially like giving our mural wallpapers an uninterrupted wall behind a cot, low bed, or toy storage bench so the full span of the curve remains visible. In a smaller nursery, using it on a single feature wall adds warmth while keeping the rest of the room bright and spacious. In a larger play space, the soft pastel palette allows you to introduce colour while maintaining a quiet, restful backdrop for daily activities.

Styling it

To complement the light, retro-inspired aesthetic of this design, we suggest pairing it with simple furniture in light, natural wood tones or painted off-white finishes. Keeping large furniture low and clean-lined helps maintain the open, airy feel of the rainbow motif. When styling around our wall murals, we prefer pulling in soft, solid-colour textiles like a pale yellow or dusty rose cushion, allowing the delicate tones of the arches to connect naturally with the rest of the room without competing patterns.

Colour combinations

The palette in our wallpaper centres on seven gentle pastel tones: soft pink, peach, sunny yellow, pale sage green, sky blue, lavender, and dusty rose, all grounded by a crisp white base. When decorating around this design, we suggest matching adjacent painted walls with warm white or chalky off-white to let the colours stand out clearly. If you prefer more colour on surrounding surfaces or woodwork, a muted blush pink, pale butter yellow, or soft pastel blue drawn straight from the arches creates a harmonious, cohesive look.
