Wallpaper - Breakaway

Designed by Julia Dreams, our Breakaway wallpaper brings a vibrant 1970s revival energy to walls with its rhythmic geometric line pattern. Concentric waves and quatrefoil medallions ripple outwards in bold coral, warm orange, olive green, cream, and deep charcoal. The screenprint-inspired look gives the graphic geometry a playful yet structured character, creating immediate visual momentum across any room. Our wallpapers are made-to-measure according to your wall dimensions on PVC-free paper with a subtle paper structure, offering an effortless way to transform your interior with standout mural wallpapers.

In the room

In a living room, Breakaway creates a confident focal point behind a low-profile sofa or along a main entertaining wall. The fluid curves and geometric repeat give the pattern plenty of visual movement, making it particularly engaging across a wider, relatively uninterrupted wall where the full cadence of the design can unfold. We also see this working exceptionally well in a hallway or along a staircase, where the rhythmic linework leads the eye naturally through transitional areas of the home. Because the pattern carries significant visual weight and contrast, giving it breathing space allows the rich coral and earthy olive tones to ground the surrounding space comfortably.

Styling it

To let the geometric lines remain the focal point, we recommend balancing this wallpaper with streamlined furniture and calm, grounded accents:

• Pair with warm wood tones such as mid-century teak or walnut, which mirror the 1970s character of the motif without competing with its active geometry.
• Keep upholstered pieces in solid, neutral fabrics like unbleached boucle or textured cream wool so the room feels layered rather than busy.
• Introduce warm lighting through low-slung table lamps or opaque glass pendant lights to highlight the rich coral and olive pigments as natural light shifts.

Colour combinations

The palette within our design centres on energetic coral and orange balanced by olive green, off-white, and dark charcoal framing lines. When choosing paint colours for adjoining walls or woodwork, muted off-whites or soft linen tones provide a gentle, harmonious surround that allows the wallpaper to take centre stage. For a moodier, enveloping feel, pulling out the charcoal tone for skirting boards, doors, or built-in shelving adds crisp architectural definition. If you prefer to lean into the retro warmth, pairing the wallpaper with accents in burnt terracotta or muted olive creates a cohesive, design-led scheme.
