Wallpaper - Boombox Love

Designed by Mercedes Lopez Charro, our Boombox Love wallpaper brings a nostalgic 1980s music aesthetic directly to your walls. The motif centres on an expressive, illustrated retro cassette player rendered with a loose watercolour look and bold graphic outlines. Washed grey-blue and deep navy tones across the stereo body are accented by playful pops of pink, yellow, and red, complete with fun sticker details and ribbon accents. Set against a clean white background with the text "KEEP CALM AND PRETEND IT'S THE 80'S" along the bottom, this wall mural makes an energetic visual statement. Like all our mural wallpapers, it is custom made-to-measure on PVC-free paper with a subtle physical surface structure.

In the room

We see this design working exceptionally well as an expressive feature wall in a teenage room, playroom, or creative hobby space. Because the artwork features a prominent central boombox graphic, we recommend placing it on a wider, relatively uninterrupted wall where the full composition and lower typography remain completely visible. In a teenager's bedroom, positioning the design behind a low bed or study desk keeps the focal illustration clear while setting an upbeat, retro tone for the entire room.

Styling it

To balance the graphic energy of the boombox illustration, we suggest pairing this wallpaper with relatively clean, uncomplicated furniture. Contemporary pieces with simple silhouettes in white or painted grey keep the overall scheme fresh and grounded. You can also pick up on the retro theme by incorporating playful colour accents in surrounding cushions or desk accessories that mirror the pink, bright yellow, or deep navy elements found in the artwork.

Colour combinations

The artwork is built around a cool base of slate blue, deep navy, and crisp white, energized by bright pops of hot pink, yellow, and red. For adjacent painted walls, we recommend sticking with clean whites, cool off-whites, or soft pale greys to keep the room light and let the central motif stand out. If you prefer a bolder palette in the rest of the space, deep navy accents on woodwork or shelving will tie in naturally with the darker tones in the stereo's speakers.
