Wallpaper - 70's Avant Garden, Tropical

Our 70's Avant Garden, Tropical wallpaper brings together a cheerful mix of pink, yellow, green, and blue blooms in a lively retro composition designed by Carrie Cantwell. Bold graphic outlines and flat illustrative shapes define the overlapping flowers, set against an energetic background of stylized tropical foliage. Bubblegum pink tones anchor the palette, giving the entire repeat a playful, nostalgic 1970s character that makes a confident visual statement. Like all our wall murals, this design is made-to-measure to your exact wall dimensions on our PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure.

In the room

With its dense pattern rhythm and vibrant colour contrast, we see this mural wallpaper working particularly well in spaces where you want to introduce optimism and personality. In a bedroom or dressing room, placing it on the wall behind the bed or vanity creates an expressive focal point without overwhelming the rest of the layout. It is equally at home in a creative studio, playroom, or teenage bedroom where dynamic shapes and bold colour feel natural.

For living rooms and open spaces, we would give this design a relatively uninterrupted feature wall. Because the floral motifs overlap and vary in scale, having a wider continuous surface lets the full composition breathe. In a powder room or compact bathroom, running the wallpaper across multiple walls envelops the space in rich graphic detail, turning a smaller room into a standout corner of the home.

Styling it

Because our design carries significant visual energy and rich colour, we suggest pairing it with clean-lined furniture that lets the print lead the room. Mid-century modern silhouettes or simple contemporary pieces in warm wood tones, such as teak or light oak, sit naturally alongside the 1970s aesthetic.

When choosing surrounding textiles and accessories, solid colours work best to avoid competing with the dense botanical repeat. A simple rug in a neutral cream, paired with unpatterned upholstery, provides a calm base. You can then introduce small pops of yellow, cobalt blue, or bubblegum pink through cushions, table lamps, or small ceramic pieces to echo the floral tones in the mural.

Colour combinations

The palette in our wallpaper centres on bubblegum pink, complemented by bright yellow centres, leafy greens, sky blue petals, and crisp black outlines.

To create a balanced look around the mural, soft off-whites, warm creams, or pale blush pinks on adjacent walls allow the vibrant colours in the pattern to stand out cleanly. If you prefer a bolder, moodier setting, pulling a deeper forest green or warm mustard yellow from the leaves and petals onto woodwork or shelving will create an enveloping, coordinated interior.
