Wallpaper - Time Travel - Stacked Series

Our Time Travel - Stacked Series wallpaper brings together an illustrative tower of vintage luggage, piled high with worn leather handles, brass-look clasps, and nostalgic travel stickers from London, Paris, and Cairo. Designed by Wai Collective, the motif carries a delicate watercolor-inspired appearance where soft washes meet distinct drawn outlines. The vertical composition draws the eye upward, anchored by a rich earthy palette of warm brown, teal, terracotta red, and muted green. Produced as made-to-measure mural wallpapers on PVC-free paper with a subtle physical structure, this design brings a storybook travel character to the wall without overwhelming the surrounding room.

In the room

Because of the tall, vertical stacking of the suitcases, we like using this design on walls that give the height of the composition room to unfold. In an entryway or hallway, it creates an immediate point of interest as soon as you step inside, working particularly well on a narrow wall or beside a coat rack.

In a living room or home office, our wallpaper serves naturally as an accent wall behind a low desk or beside a reading chair. Keeping the base of the wall relatively open allows the full stack of bags to remain visible from floor to ceiling. We also see this working smoothly in a guest room or a teenage room, where the adventurous travel theme adds personality while the earthy watercolor tones keep the visual mood grounded and comfortable.

Styling it

The distinct vintage character and illustrative style pair naturally with eclectic, retro, or modern eclectic interiors. To let the vertical illustration take center stage, we suggest keeping nearby large furniture relatively simple in form. Mid-century credenzas, clean-lined desks, or vintage-style wooden storage pieces complement the nostalgic theme without competing with the suitcase details.

For surrounding elements, consider warm finishes that pick up on the leather straps and classic travel accents. A warm wood sideboard or simple bronze and matte black hardware echo the vintage illustration nicely. Choosing textured woven textiles in muted tones helps balance the illustrative detail on the wall, allowing the artwork to feel integrated rather than isolated.

Color combinations

The design itself centers on warm brown, rich teal, aged red, and soft green, set against an earthy, neutral ground.

When choosing colors for adjoining walls, trim, and larger furnishings, we suggest drawing directly from these core shades:

• Muted teal or deep olive green on surrounding painted walls or built-in shelving can extend the adventurous, rich palette throughout the room.
• Warm neutrals, soft beige, or warm taupe on adjacent surfaces keep the room bright while honoring the background tones of the illustration.
• Rich terracotta or rust red accents in small upholstery, ceramics, or cushions provide a cohesive visual link to the illustrated travel labels.
