Wallpaper - Haight Ashbury

Our Haight Ashbury wallpaper captures one of San Francisco’s most celebrated street corners in crisp photographic detail. The composition centres on a weathered street pole bearing the classic Haight and Ashbury signs, framed by a vintage traffic light, a pale yellow building with green window trim, and a bright sky blue background. Photographed by Tono Balaguer, the urban scene carries an authentic 1960s retro character with its soft architectural tones and aged street details. Like all our wallpapers, this design is made-to-measure to fit your room dimensions, printed on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure.

In the room

We see this design working particularly well as a focal point across a main wall in a living room, study, or home office. Because the photograph has strong vertical lines formed by the central pole and the architectural façade behind it, giving it an open, relatively uninterrupted wall helps preserve the full visual perspective of the street scene.

In a study, we like placing our wallpaper behind a low desk or reading chair so the distinctive street signs and clear sky remain completely in view. For larger living spaces, the balanced mix of light architectural yellows and open sky blue helps anchor the seating area without making the room feel visually crowded.

Styling it

The retro urban mood of this mural wallpaper pairs naturally with mid-century modern and relaxed contemporary interiors. We suggest keeping surrounding furniture clean and grounded to let the photographic composition take centre stage.

Mid-tone or warm woods, such as teak or vintage walnut, echo the nostalgic 1960s feel of the street corner. Low-profile furniture works especially well here, ensuring the lower structural elements of the intersection remain visible. For upholstery, we would choose muted, textured fabrics in neutral stone, pale grey, or off-white to balance the graphic presence of the street signage.

Colour combinations

The palette within our wallpaper brings together clear sky blue, soft pale yellow from the building exterior, and understated green accents on the window frames and traffic light.

To create a cohesive scheme around the mural, we suggest pairing adjacent painted walls with a soft, chalky off-white or light warm grey to complement the pale yellow architecture. Deep olive or muted forest green accents work well across smaller decorative elements or woodwork to pick up the window trim, while earthy, warm neutrals on larger surfaces help ground the open blue sky above.
