Wallpaper - Malibu Retro Vibe

Created by Omar Escalante, our Malibu Retro Vibe wallpaper brings a clean, mid-century graphic quality into the home. Six tall palm trees stretch across a bold saffron orange background, their dark blue-green fronds rendered with sharp silhouette lines reminiscent of vintage screenprints. The flat, stylised forms and confident colour blocking create an energetic visual rhythm that instantly defines a room. Made-to-measure on our subtle, PVC-free paper, this design delivers a striking focal point with a laid-back 1970s character.

In the room

Because the composition relies on strong geometry and tall vertical lines, we especially like this design on an open feature wall where the silhouettes have room to breathe. In a living room or dining room, placing the mural behind low-profile seating or a sideboard lets the full height of the palm trunks and arched fronds stay visible.

The graphic contrast also makes it an exciting choice for a bedroom or teenage room. When used behind a bed headboard, the warm orange field frames the space naturally, while the deep blue foliage adds visual depth without overwhelming the rest of the interior.

Styling it

The crisp, screenprinted character pairs naturally with retro and modernist interior styles. We suggest working with clean furniture shapes and mid-toned timber rather than overly ornate pieces.

• Pair with warm wood finishes such as teak, walnut, or oak to complement the rich warmth of the saffron background.
• Select upholstery and painted furniture in muted neutral tones or deep navy to anchor the room and echo the dark palm silhouettes.
• Keep surrounding architectural lines simple, letting the bold graphic geometry of the wallpaper act as the primary visual focus.

Colour combinations

The palette in our wallpaper centres on intense saffron orange set against deep blue and dark teal green foliage. To build a balanced scheme around it, we recommend using off-white or light biscuit tones on adjoining walls and woodwork to let the central colour block stand out cleanly.

For accent pieces, deep navy, midnight blue, or dark forest green help tie the room together by mirroring the palm fronds. If you prefer a warmer, tonal approach, muted terracotta or mustard textiles work well alongside the saffron backdrop without competing with its clarity.
