Wallpaper - Curly Rainbows

Our Curly Rainbows wallpaper, created with designer Julia Dreams, brings a lively abstract energy to the wall through swirling, overlapping ribbons of colour. Painted curves in blue, pink, yellow, and orange sweep across a light backdrop, creating fluid movement and playful visual rhythm reminiscent of twentieth-century postmodern art. What we particularly like is how the watercolor-like brushstrokes blend and intersect, giving the graphic composition an expressive, hand-painted character. Made-to-measure on our PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure, it is a spirited design that instantly energises an interior.

In the room

We see this design working exceptionally well as an accent wall in a playroom, children's bedroom, or teenage room where its cheerful movement sets a creative tone. Because the swirling ribbons are bold in scale and dynamic in direction, giving the wallpaper a wider, relatively uninterrupted wall allows the complete fluid forms to breathe and interact properly. In a creative home office or art studio, it brings an eclectic maximalist character that feels distinctly uplifting. If you choose to use it in a living room, placing it behind a low sofa or along a main feature wall lets the vibrant curves carry the room's visual focus without overwhelming everyday living.

Styling it

To balance the intense energy and fluid motion of the ribbons, we suggest pairing the wallpaper with simple, structured furniture. Clean-lined contemporary silhouettes in warm wood or painted neutral finishes help anchor the space and prevent the pattern from feeling chaotic. In an eclectic setting, you can lean into the postmodern spirit by introducing geometric accents or tubular metal frames that echo the rounded forms of the brushstrokes. Keeping large floor coverings and heavier curtains in quiet, solid tones allows the wall mural to remain the clear focal point of the room.

Colour combinations

The wallpaper features a vibrant palette of sunny yellow, clear sky blue, warm orange, and soft pink against a clean, light base. To create a cohesive scheme, we recommend pulling one of the softer tones from the design, such as gentle blush or pale buttercup, for adjacent painted walls or woodwork. If you prefer higher contrast, a deeper navy blue on surrounding trims or cabinetry creates a sharp, grounding frame around the multi-coloured swirls. For a more understated look, pairing it with off-white and soft neutral fabrics allows the cheerful spectrum on the wall to take centre stage.
