Wallpaper - 70's Avant Garden

Our 70's Avant Garden wallpaper by Carrie Cantwell is a joyful retro floral design packed with daisies and stylized blooms. Set against a soft pastel teal backdrop, the densely arranged petals in pastel pink, sunny yellow, crisp white, and teal create a lively, graphic rhythm with clear screenprint-inspired outlines. The flat shapes and cheerful palette give this floral pattern a distinctly 1970s character that instantly brings warmth and playfulness to a room. Like all Wallism wallpapers, this design is custom made-to-measure on PVC-free paper with a subtle paper structure, making it simple and straightforward to hang.

In the room

In residential spaces, we see this vibrant pattern working exceptionally well in a playroom, teenage room, dressing room, powder room, or home art studio. Because the floral motifs are densely clustered with a relatively tight repeat, the design brings continuous energy across both compact and medium-sized spaces. In a smaller powder room or dressing room, wrapping all four walls creates an immersive, jewel-box feel where the stylized daisies surround the entire space. In a teenage bedroom or creative studio, using it on an accent wall behind a desk or bed lets the wallpaper serve as an energetic focal point without competing with everyday storage and furniture.

Styling it

To balance the graphic energy of the motif, we like pairing this wallpaper with simple interior silhouettes and clean-lined furniture. Mid-century modern shapes or simple contemporary painted furniture in crisp white, soft ivory, or light natural wood keep the overall atmosphere fresh and balanced.

Because the floral illustration carries so much visual personality, we recommend keeping surrounding textiles and decorative objects relatively calm. Solid upholstery, smooth surfaces, and minimalist lighting fixtures allow the retro botanical pattern to take center stage without making the room feel visually crowded.

Color combinations

The pattern itself is built around a playful harmony of pastel pink, cheerful yellow, bright white, and shades of teal set over a calm pastel teal ground. When choosing surrounding wall colors, woodwork paint, or larger decor pieces, drawing out the soft pastel teal creates a seamless, cohesive backdrop that softens the vibrant floral forms.

For a brighter, crisper contrast, clean warm whites and pale cream tones on adjacent walls and baseboards highlight the graphic white flower petals. If you prefer a warmer, punchier scheme, incorporating accents of soft pastel pink or muted mustard yellow in furniture or accessories directly echoes the heart of the blooms.
