Wallpaper - 42nd And Lexington

Designed by Julia Dreams, our 42nd And Lexington wallpaper captures a dynamic retro graphic style inspired by 1970s aesthetics. The motif interlocks curving, paisley-like teardrop forms and swirling ribbons across an energetic repeating rhythm. A palette of deep hunter green, teal, muted burgundy, dusty rose, and soft pale pink creates rich contrast with bold dark outlines and subtle dotted accents. Our mural wallpapers are made-to-measure to fit your specific wall dimensions and printed on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure.

In the room

With its fluid movement and bold geometric cadence, this design works especially well in creative, expressive spaces such as an art studio, a teenage room, or an energetic home workspace. The rolling curves bring visual momentum to an accent wall behind a desk or bed, while the balanced repeat allows it to wrap around multiple walls without overwhelming a room. In spaces with ample daylight, the rich hunter green and teal tones maintain their depth against the softer rose and pale pink shapes.

Styling it

We recommend letting the wallpaper serve as the central visual pattern in the room, balancing its curving lines with simpler furniture forms. Mid-century silhouettes, clean-lined low shelving, or painted desks in matte finishes keep the focus on the graphic flow of the pattern. Low-sheen finishes and tailored upholstered pieces work well alongside the dense retro motif without creating visual competition.

Color combinations

The wallpaper's palette centers on deep hunter green, slate teal, rich burgundy, dusty rose, and pale blush pink, all framed by dark defining outlines. For surrounding walls and trim, softer off-whites, pale muted rose, or a warm deep green create a grounded backdrop that echoes the tones in the artwork. Dark wood accents or deep wine-red accessories can pull out the richer shades of the design.
