Wallpaper - Stylish Sayings I

Created by Anne Tavoletti, our Stylish Sayings I wallpaper frames the central painted message "Too Rad to be Sad" with a playful border of colourful flora on an off-white background. The composition combines soft watercolour-like tones of coral orange, pastel pink, soft blue, warm yellow, and muted sage foliage, balanced with delicate ink-style outlines and decorative dots. It brings a bright 1970s revival feel to a room, functioning as an uplifting focal point while keeping the overall wall light and airy. Produced as a made-to-measure wallpaper mural on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure, it is straightforward to hang.

In the room

We see this design working particularly well on an accent wall in a study, teenage bedroom, creative studio, or playroom. Because the lettering and floral framing form a single balanced graphic composition, we recommend placing it on a relatively clear wall where the complete central quote remains unobstructed. Positioning the mural above a desk or behind a low bed allows the hand-lettered text and surrounding botanical elements to be enjoyed in full. In smaller or narrower rooms, the crisp white backdrop helps keep the wall feeling open, while the colourful border adds plenty of visual character.

Styling it

To complement the 1970s retro aesthetic, we would pair this wallpaper with light timber furniture or clean painted white pieces that let the artwork take centre stage. Keep surrounding furnishings relatively simple so the decorative typography and multi-coloured blooms stand out without visual clutter. Soft cotton or boucle textiles in neutral tones balance the playful character of the motif, while a single accent cushion picking up on the coral lettering helps tie the room together naturally.

Colour combinations

The wallpaper features a soft palette anchored by coral orange lettering, accompanied by pastel pink, sky blue, warm buttercup yellow, and sage green leaves against a soft white base. For adjacent walls and skirting, an off-white or soft warm cream keeps the space feeling bright and harmonious. If you want to introduce more colour into the surrounding decor, pulling out the warm coral or muted sage green for painted woodwork, shelving, or upholstered accents creates a cohesive, cheerful interior scheme.
