Wallpaper - Downey

Designed by Julia Dreams, our Downey wallpaper brings an unapologetically cheerful 1970s revival feel to the wall. The repeating pattern features whimsical smiling daisies rising on slender stems, drawn with smooth contours and flat graphic fills. A warm retro palette of burnt orange, warm ochre, muted sage, and earthy olive green sits against a clean cream backdrop, creating an uplifting yet grounded visual rhythm. The playful character of the floral motif makes it a charming statement for creative spaces. Our wallpapers are made-to-measure and PVC-free, printed on paper with a subtle physical structure.

In the room

We see this design bringing immense warmth and personality to children's rooms, nurseries, playrooms, or creative teenage rooms. The upward movement of the stems adds a gentle vertical rhythm that works beautifully along full walls or behind a low bed frame or desk. In a compact powder room or playful cloakroom, wrapping all four walls in this repeat creates an immersive, joyful jewel-box feel without feeling visually chaotic, thanks to the balanced spacing of the flower heads.

Styling it

To let the graphic personality of the flowers stand out, we suggest pairing the wallpaper with simple, clean-lined furniture. Mid-century silhouettes or painted wooden furniture in muted tones balance the bold graphic lines effortlessly.

Natural woven textures such as jute rugs, rattan baskets, or soft linen bedding complement the organic 1970s mood without competing with the floral repeat. Keeping accessories relatively minimal and tactile ensures the room feels relaxed and inviting rather than cluttered.

Colour combinations

The design features a distinct palette of burnt orange, mustard yellow, sage green, and olive, set against an off-white base. When choosing surrounding paints and accents, you can pull out the warm terracotta and burnt orange tones for cosy warmth on painted woodwork or soft furnishings. Alternatively, soft sage or warm stone tones on neighbouring walls will ground the space and allow the vibrant orange petals to take centre stage.
