Wallpaper - Swirly Hippie Rainbow

Our Swirly Hippie Rainbow wallpaper brings a graphic, 1970s revival feel to your interior through sweeping vertical bands of colour against a warm cream backdrop. Flowing ribbons of deep denim blue, mid blue, muted teal, warm beige, ochre orange, and rich rust bend together in a rhythmic, organic wave that introduces playful movement across the wall. As with all Wallism mural wallpapers, this design is made-to-measure to your specific wall dimensions on PVC-free paper with a subtle paper texture, making it straightforward to hang.

In the room

The bold scale and gentle s-curve motion of this design make it a natural focal point for an accent wall. In a living room, we love positioning it along a main sofa wall where the broad arches of colour can stretch from ceiling to skirting board without interruption. The dynamic balance between cool blue-grey tones on the left and warm terracotta-orange hues on the right also works particularly well in a creative home office or art studio, providing an artistic backdrop that feels expressive without crowding the room. Because the cream negative space is generous, the motif breathes easily even in spaces with standard ceiling heights.

Styling it

To complement the retro aesthetic, we recommend grounding the space with mid-century modern furniture shapes and warm timber finishes such as teak, walnut, or stained oak. Low-profile credenzas or rounded, sculptural armchairs echo the fluid lines in the pattern without competing with them.

For surrounding accents and textiles, we like bringing in tactile bouclé, ribbed corduroy, or unbleached linen in muted neutrals to let the flowing graphic bands take centre stage. Keeping decorative tabletop pieces simple, perhaps matte ceramic vessels or soft amber glassware, maintains a clean and intentional 70s-inspired look.

Colour combinations

The palette within our design centres on a grounding mix of deep navy-blue, dusty slate, vintage teal, soft biscuit beige, burnt orange, and earthy rust, set on a pale buttermilk cream foundation.

When choosing paint colours for adjoining walls and woodwork, picking up the background cream creates a seamless, cohesive wrapper around the room. If you prefer more definition, deep rust or muted teal drawn straight from the stripes makes an impactful statement on window frames, doors, or low cabinetry. For larger soft furnishings, warm taupe, sand, or off-white keep the overall scheme balanced and inviting.
