Wallpaper - Adventurous Black

Designed by Laura Marshall, our Adventurous Black wallpaper pairs expressive hand-drawn lettering with playful 1970s road-trip imagery against a chalky black backdrop. The graphic layout centers around the phrase "Oh Darling Let's Be Adventurers", surrounded by a classic camper van, pine trees, mountain peaks, a steaming mug, and a rising sun in warm burnt orange, muted blue-grey, and off-white tones. The chalk-like texture and bold typographic composition give this design an inviting, retro bohemian character that creates an immediate focal point. Like all our mural wallpapers, it is custom made-to-measure on PVC-free paper with a subtle paper texture.

In the room

Because of its strong graphic layout and framed poster-style composition, we especially like this mural on an uninterrupted accent wall where the full typography and artwork remain completely visible. It brings an adventurous, creative feel to a hobby room or playroom, acting as an inspiring backdrop without needing extra wall decor. In a vacation home, holiday cabin, or a casual open living space, placing this design behind a low sofa or a family seating nook allows the bold lettering and warm earthy accents to anchor the entire room.

Styling it

The playful 1970s character and chalk-art aesthetic naturally suit relaxed, bohemian and contemporary interior styles. We would pair the wallpaper with warm timber furniture, such as honey-toned pine, rattan, or vintage oak, which picks up on the retro outdoor theme. To let the typographic details stand out, keep surrounding textiles simple in texture and tone, using natural unbleached canvas, heavy woven blankets, or a simple flatweave floor covering.

Colour combinations

The wallpaper is defined by a deep chalkboard black base with chalky off-white lettering, accented by earthy burnt orange, muted slate blue, and soft ochre. For the surrounding walls, warm off-white, soft clay, or a pale oat shade helps balance the dark backdrop while maintaining a bright, open feeling. If you prefer a richer and more intimate setting, pulling out the burnt orange or a warm charcoal for adjacent trim, shelving, or painted cabinetry creates a cohesive and grounded palette.
