Wallpaper - Seventies Waves

Designed by Lisa Wirenfelt, our Seventies Waves wallpaper brings together playful abstract forms in a spirited retro-inspired composition. Set against an off-white background, a rhythmic wavy blue line weaves alongside an irregular orange shape, a circular cobalt blue ring, and a soft rounded green element. Each shape carries a textured brushstroke appearance that lends an expressive, hand-painted look to the surface. Made to measure on our PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure, this mural wallpaper offers a clean, graphic energy that enlivens modern living spaces.

In the room

In a living room or bedroom, we would place this design on a wider, relatively uninterrupted accent wall where the fluid interplay between the blue wave and the solid geometric shapes has room to unfold. The open off-white ground keeps the overall feel light and uncluttered, making our wall murals equally suited to creative spaces such as a home office, study, or playroom. Because the motif is bold yet balanced by generous breathing space around each element, it works well behind low-profile furniture like a sofa or a headboard without losing its artistic identity.

Styling it

We recommend letting the wallpaper act as the primary graphic statement in the room while keeping surrounding elements tactile and uncluttered.

• Pair the clean off-white background with mid-tone warm woods, such as teak or warm oak, to reinforce the mid-century seventies character of the composition.
• Introduce soft upholstery in neutral, textured weaves to balance the crisp, graphic contours of the cobalt blue and orange shapes.
• Incorporate simple lighting or ceramic accessories in matte finishes rather than high-gloss surfaces, echoing the painted appearance of the artwork.

Colour combinations

Our design centers on a contrast between vibrant cobalt blue, warm orange, and muted green accents over a calm off-white backdrop. To build a cohesive room palette, we suggest echoing the off-white tone across adjacent painted walls, woodwork, and skirting boards to create a seamless gallery-like setting. For deeper accent notes, surrounding elements in terracotta, dusty blue, or olive green pick up the playful tones of the motif naturally without competing for visual focus.
