Wallpaper - Motivation Mantra II

Designed by Michael Mullan, our Motivation Mantra II wallpaper pairs bold typography with an energetic 1960s retro aesthetic. The design centres on the phrase "YOUR VOICE MATTERS" rendered in rounded, layered lettering of warm cream and bright orange, set against a deep cobalt blue background. Beneath the primary lettering, a smaller orange line adds "(IF IT'S HEARD ABOVE THE NOISE)", giving the composition a graphic, screenprint-inspired look with strong visual impact. Printed made-to-measure on our PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure, this piece is easy to hang and brings graphic character to any space.

In the room

We see this design working particularly well as an accent wall in a teenage room, home office, study, or dedicated creative workspace. Because the typography is large and graphic, we recommend placing it on an uninterrupted wall where the full text remains clear and readable. In a study or home office, positioning the mural wallpapers behind a desk or work table creates a defined focal point without overwhelming the rest of the room. In a living room setting, it functions naturally on a main wall, balancing seating areas with expressive retro poster art.

Styling it

To let the bold typography lead the space, we suggest keeping surrounding furniture clean and graphic. Mid-century modern pieces, retro shapes, and simple contemporary forms pair naturally with the 1960s poster style. Warm wood furniture or painted surfaces in cream or navy complement the graphic structure without adding visual clutter. Keep decorative accessories minimal around the featured wall so the central message and strong colour contrast can take full focus.

Colour combinations

The wallpaper is built around deep cobalt blue, warm cream, and vivid orange. For surrounding walls, woodwork, and large surfaces, soft cream or warm off-white tones echo the lettering and keep the room open and balanced. Deeper navy or slate blue on adjacent walls or joinery creates an immersive, grounded setting that ties into the background. For smaller accents and textiles, muted terracotta or burnt orange touches can gently pick up the energetic lettering.
