Wallpaper - Down Vibes

Designed by Veronique Charron, our Down Vibes wallpaper combines retro-inspired vertical chevron bands with a playful, screenprint-inspired look. Downward-pointing arrows alternate between solid, weathered colour blocks and delicate drawn outlines, punctuated by subtle dot accents across an off-white backdrop. The palette brings together warm terracotta red, bright orange, rich olive green, turquoise, and sky blue for a lively visual rhythm that channels a distinct 1970s revival feel. Made-to-measure on our PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure, it is an expressive geometric design that instantly adds graphic energy to an interior.

In the room

Because the vertical columns create an unmistakable sense of upward and downward movement, we especially like this design on taller wall areas or across a feature wall where the rhythmic repeat can be appreciated at full height. In a living room or hallway staircase, the linear structure draws the eye and defines the space without feeling heavy, thanks to the balance of solid colour blocks and open line art. The energetic palette also makes it a cheerful addition to a playroom, teenage room, or children's bedroom, where the dynamic geometric rhythm feels vibrant and welcoming. For a bathroom or compact hallway, wrapping a single feature wall behind a mirror or vanity area introduces plenty of graphic personality while keeping the surrounding surfaces simple.

Styling it

We recommend letting the geometric wallpaper take centre stage and balancing it with mid-century modern or retro-inspired furniture. Clean silhouettes in warm woods such as teak or warm oak echo the 1970s character of the chevron bands, while painted white or matte black furniture helps ground the bolder colours in the pattern. Because the motif is visually active, keeping large upholstered pieces and floor coverings in plain, textured fabrics ensures the room remains balanced rather than overly busy.

Colour combinations

The wallpaper itself features a bold mix of terracotta red, vibrant orange, olive green, teal, and bright blue set against a soft off-white ground. When choosing colours for surrounding walls, woodwork, or larger furnishings, picking out the warm off-white base creates a clean, cohesive envelope that lets the vertical bands stand out. For a stronger, moodier contrast, pulling the deep olive green or rich terracotta into adjacent painted walls or joinery creates an inviting, tonal feel that complements the vintage screenprint aesthetic.
