Wallpaper - Disco Rain

Our Disco Rain wallpaper, designed by Kate Jarvik Birch, captures the luminous, blurred glow of city traffic through a rain-streaked windscreen. Painted-looking strokes of deep teal, petrol blue, and midnight tones form the atmospheric evening backdrop, brought to life by vibrant, glowing circles of amber, red, golden yellow, and cool aqua bokeh lights. Running vertical water rivulets cut through the composition, giving the entire mural wallpaper an expressive, atmospheric depth. Printed custom made to measure, our wallpapers are PVC-free and feature a subtle physical structure in the paper.

In the room

We see this design working beautifully as a focal point on an accent wall in a living room, bedroom, or home office. The composition has a rich visual rhythm where the warm, glowing light circles in the lower half ground the view, while the cooler, darker upper section allows the wall to feel deep and expansive. Because of the bold, painterly motif, we think it performs best on a relatively uninterrupted wall where the full vertical streaks of rain and scattered light reflections can unfold without being cut off by tall bookcases or bulky wardrobes. In a dining area or an evening lounge space, ambient lighting brings out the rich contrast between the glowing reds and the deep midnight blues.

Styling it

To let the artwork take centre stage, we would pair our wall murals with understated, modern furniture featuring clean lines and darker wood tones or matte black metal accents. The rich, moody atmosphere balances well with deep velvet upholstery or heavier woven textures in petrol, charcoal, or deep rust that echo the bokeh tail lights. Keeping adjacent walls neutral with soft slate or deep blue-grey paint helps create an enveloping, cohesive atmosphere without competing with the lively visual energy of the design.

Colour combinations

The core palette of our wallpaper centres on deep petrol teal, midnight blue, warm amber, glowing carmine red, and soft chartreuse. When planning the rest of the room, you can draw directly from these warm accents by introducing terracotta, burnt orange, or ochre cushions and decorative ceramics. Alternatively, pairing the mural with surrounding walls in muted charcoal, deep ink, or a balanced cool grey lets the vibrant light reflections pop with greater clarity and visual warmth.
