Wallpaper - Motivation Mantra II

Our Motivation Mantra II wallpaper by Michael Mullan combines expressive typography with a vibrant retro feel. Set against a deep cobalt blue background, the design centres on the statement "YOUR VOICE MATTERS" rendered in large, rounded cream and orange lettering with a layered visual depth reminiscent of classic screenprints. Beneath it, a smaller orange subtitle reads "(IF IT'S HEARD ABOVE THE NOISE)". The high contrast between the warm lettering and the bold blue field gives the piece immediate graphic presence, making it a distinctive focal point in spaces dedicated to creativity and self-expression. Like all Wallism wallpapers, this design is made-to-measure and entirely PVC-free.

In the room

Because of the strong central typography and bold graphic layout, this is one of our mural wallpapers that thrives on a dedicated feature wall. In a home office, study, or art studio, we would position the motif directly facing a desk or work area where the statement can command attention without competing with other large visual elements.

In a teenage bedroom or a creative living room corner, the design works best on an uninterrupted stretch of wall that allows the full lettering and surrounding spacing to be viewed clearly. The scale of the text provides an energetic backdrop, so giving the mural some room to breathe ensures the message remains crisp and legible from across the room.

Styling it

To balance the graphic energy and rich cobalt ground of our design, we suggest pairing it with clean, mid-century or modern furnishings rather than overly ornate decor.

• Keep large furniture in quiet, neutral finishes or warm, mid-tone woods like teak or walnut to complement the retro 1960s character of the typography.
• Echo the warm orange and cream tones of the lettering sparingly through small accents, such as a desk lamp, a cushion, or decorative ceramics, leaving the remaining surfaces understated.
• Maintain simple floor finishes with minimal patterning, such as a plain low-pile rug or natural floorboards, to avoid visual clutter beneath the bold statement.

Colour combinations

The palette of our wallpaper is anchored by deep cobalt blue, layered with warm cream and a vivid pop of orange.

When working around this design, we recommend keeping adjacent walls in soft, warm off-white or light stone shades that reflect the cream in the lettering. If you prefer a moodier, more immersive interior, a deep navy or slate blue that picks up the background tone can frame the wall seamlessly. For subtle contrast in accessories and textiles, muted terracotta, warm ochre, and soft charcoal work naturally alongside the primary orange and blue composition.
