Wallpaper - Gentle Rainbow

Our Gentle Rainbow wallpaper brings soft watercolour arches together across a clean white background, creating an open, horizontal composition with a gentle retro rhythm. The palette blends delicate bands of pastel pink, peach, warm yellow, soft green, light blue, lavender, and muted rose, giving each stroke a painted, hand-rendered appearance. What we especially like about this design is how the generous white ground lets the pastel tones breathe without overwhelming the room. Made to measure on our PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure, it is designed to be straightforward to hang in any family space.

In the room

We see this design working naturally in a nursery, toddler room, or children's playroom where you want to introduce colour while keeping the visual atmosphere light and restful. Because the arches sweep horizontally across the white background, the motif works particularly well on an uninterrupted feature wall behind a cot, low bed, or dedicated play area. In a compact nursery or smaller bedroom, the generous negative space keeps the wall feeling open and airy. For larger playrooms, the balanced repeat creates an inviting visual anchor without dominating the entire space, especially where natural daylight highlights the delicate transitions between the pastel bands.

Styling it

To complement the soft 1970s revival feel of the arches, we would pair our mural wallpapers with simple, light-toned wooden furniture and understated textiles. Pale birch, natural ash, or painted white storage pieces sit comfortably against the white backdrop, allowing the curved pastel bands to remain the focal point. Soft, plain cotton or linen textiles in unbleached ecru or muted cream balance the colourful motif without competing for attention. We would keep decorative accessories simple and rounded to echo the arch shapes, avoiding busy patterns on nearby rugs or bedding so the wallpaper carries the visual story.

Colour combinations

The motif features a harmonious pastel palette built from delicate pink, peach, soft yellow, leafy green, pale blue, lavender, and rose against a crisp white ground. When painting adjacent walls or woodwork, we recommend staying with soft, neutral whites or warm off-whites to match the open background of our wall murals. If you want to introduce a subtle accent colour elsewhere in the room, picking out the pale blush pink, warm peach, or soft sage green for painted skirting boards, a small side table, or window trims creates a cohesive, considered look without overpowering the space.
