Wallpaper - Mustang

Our Mustang wallpaper captures the dynamic presence of a vintage 1940s military aircraft soaring through an open sky filled with soft, painterly clouds. Designed in collaboration with Wellington Studio, the composition centres on the gleaming metallic body of the plane, accented with a vibrant red nose and wingtips alongside classic star insignia and historical tail markings. A second aircraft trailing in the distance adds a compelling sense of depth and atmospheric perspective. Like all our wall murals, this design is custom made-to-measure on PVC-free paper with a subtle physical surface structure, making it simple to create a striking focal point.

In the room

We see this wallpaper working especially well in a study, home office, or dedicated hobby room where its historical subject matter and sense of motion can set a clear thematic tone. Because the aircraft is depicted mid-flight across an expanse of sky, the design benefits from a wider, relatively uninterrupted feature wall, such as behind a desk or across the main wall of a living room or den. In a teenage room or bedroom, positioning the mural behind the bedhead allows the upper sky and distant plane to remain fully visible, lending an airy, expansive feeling to the space without overwhelming surrounding furniture.

Styling it

To balance the graphic detail and strong narrative of the aircraft, we suggest keeping surrounding furniture clean-lined and grounded. Mid-toned or darker wood finishes, such as walnut or stained oak, pair naturally with the vintage aeronautical theme, while understated painted cabinetry prevents the room from feeling crowded. Incorporating subtle industrial or vintage accents, like brushed metal light fixtures or dark leather seating, reinforces the classic Americana feel while letting the wall mural serve as the primary visual focus.

Colour combinations

The wallpaper is built around a palette of metallic silver grey, sky blue, and soft cloud neutrals, punctuated by energetic accents of bright red and deep navy. For surrounding painted walls, skirting, or woodwork, we recommend gentle off-whites or pale slate greys that draw from the neutral cloud tones. If you prefer a richer, more defined contrast, pulling out the deep navy of the fuselage markings or introducing muted burgundy textiles will complement the red accents without competing with the sky backdrop.
