Wallpaper - Motivation Mantra II

Our Motivation Mantra II wallpaper by Michael Mullan brings bold retro graphic energy into the room with its layered typographic design. Set against a deep cobalt blue background, the statement "YOUR VOICE MATTERS" stands out in thick, rounded lettering rendered in warm cream and vibrant orange. A smaller orange line below reads "(IF IT'S HEARD ABOVE THE NOISE)", adding a clever touch to the screenprint-inspired layout. With its strong contrast and distinct 1960s aesthetic, this mural wallpaper delivers an expressive visual focal point. Our wallpapers are made-to-measure according to your specific wall dimensions and printed on PVC-free paper with a subtle physical surface structure.

In the room

Because the typography is bold and the scale of the lettering is substantial, we see this wall mural working best where it has room to be read clearly. In a teenage room, home office, or creative study, placing this design on a main accent wall behind a desk or bed lets the graphic message anchor the entire space. The high contrast between the deep cobalt blue and the warm orange lettering carries a lot of visual weight, which means it works especially well on a relatively uninterrupted wall rather than surfaces fragmented by multiple doorways. In a living room, giving this wallpaper an open wall allows the rounded, sixties-inspired letterforms to function almost like an oversized art print.

Styling it

When styling around such a graphic, expressive mural wallpaper, we suggest keeping the surrounding furniture clean-lined so the wall remains the primary statement. Mid-century silhouettes or contemporary pieces with simple profiles complement the retro feel without competing with the bold text.

To create a balanced look, we like incorporating warm wood tones, such as teak or walnut, which pick up the warmth of the orange and cream elements. Keep decorative accessories relatively minimal and let the bold typography provide the personality in the room.

Color combinations

The design is built around a striking combination of deep cobalt blue, energetic orange, and soft cream. When choosing paint or accents for adjacent walls and surrounding trim, carrying over a soft cream or warm off-white creates an open, cohesive connection that softens the intensity of the blue.

If you prefer a bolder, moodier room scheme, pairing this wallpaper with a matching deep navy or dark slate blue on adjoining walls will wrap the space in color while making the orange typography jump forward. For smaller accents or upholstery, muted rust, terracotta, or warm ochre tie in naturally with the orange lettering.
