Wallpaper - Roadside V

Our Roadside V wallpaper by Veronique Charron captures mid-century roadside typography with a warm, nostalgic character. Centred around a classic vintage sign motif, the design features the phrase "Do What Makes You Smile" rendered in bold, playful lettering alongside decorative starbursts. Rich dark orange, teal, green, and gold tones stand out clearly against a light beige background with a textured appearance. Created as made-to-measure wallpaper murals, this PVC-free design has a subtle structure in the paper and brings graphic personality to a feature wall.

In the room

Because the artwork functions as a focused graphic statement, we see this working best on an accent wall where the central signage and typography can be viewed without heavy obstruction. In a teenage room or a creative hobby room, it brings an uplifting focal point behind a desk or low seating area. The strong composition and mid-century aesthetic give the room an expressive identity, making it a great choice for spaces dedicated to leisure, study, or creative pursuits.

Styling it

To let the graphic artwork take centre stage, we suggest keeping the surrounding furnishings relatively uncluttered and drawing on subtle vintage cues. Mid-century modern furniture shapes with clean silhouettes pair naturally with the 1950s roadside theme. Warm wood pieces, such as teak or warm oak shelving, complement the earthy palette of the sign without competing with the bold lettering. Keeping larger textiles and soft furnishings in neutral, unpatterned fabrics allows the vibrant teal, orange, and gold tones of the mural to carry the visual energy.

Colour combinations

The design is built on a light beige backdrop layered with dark orange, teal, green, and gold accents. When planning adjacent walls and woodwork, soft warm neutrals, light biscuit tones, or gentle linen whites echo the background and keep the room balanced. If you want to introduce a richer contrast, choosing a muted dark teal or a deep burnt orange for a painted shelving unit or door frame connects directly to the core colours in the sign.
