Wallpaper - Almost Rainbows

Created by Julia Dreams, our Almost Rainbows wallpaper brings an expressive, painterly rhythm to the wall with sweeping, gestural brushstrokes set against a warm, pale beige backdrop. Broad swathes of lavender, cobalt blue, sunny yellow, apricot, and soft pink curve across the surface, showcasing visible brush textures, translucent layering, and subtle dry-brush edges. The fluid, organic movement gives the design a cheerful, modernist character with an open, buoyant repeat that feels both artistic and light. Made to measure on our PVC-free paper with a subtle physical surface structure, this design offers an effortless way to introduce lively colour and abstract art into contemporary interiors.

In the room

The free-flowing composition and generous spacing between the brushstrokes make this pattern remarkably versatile across different wall dimensions. In a children's bedroom, toddler room, or playroom, we particularly like using it across all four walls to build a joyful, creative environment that feels bright without overwhelming the space. Because the creamy background provides plenty of breathing room between the vibrant strokes, the motif does not feel dense or cluttered.

In a creative home office, dressing room, or art studio, our mural wallpapers work brilliantly as an accent wall behind a desk or open shelving. The diagonal and curved movement of the painted marks draws the eye upwards, which works nicely in rooms with standard or slightly lower ceilings. For a living room or teenage bedroom embracing an eclectic aesthetic, placing this wallpaper along an uninterrupted main wall allows the varied colour transitions and painterly details to be enjoyed in full.

Styling it

To complement the expressive, hand-painted look of the pattern, we suggest balancing the space with clean-lined furniture and thoughtful textures:

• Pair the vibrant palette with light, natural wood tones such as ash, birch, or pale pine to keep the atmosphere airy and grounded.
• Introduce painted furniture or shelving in soft pastel tones drawn directly from the motif, such as muted blush, buttery yellow, or periwinkle blue.
• Ground the room with a plain, neutral woven rug in cream or natural wool, allowing the dynamic movement on the wall to remain the primary visual focus.
• Add simple ceramic accents, matte lighting fixtures, or framed graphic line art to enhance the modern, artistic feel of the interior.

Colour combinations

The pattern features a bright, harmonious palette of lilac, sky and cobalt blue, warm ochre, pastel yellow, peach, and blush pink over a soft cream background.

When choosing paint colours for surrounding walls, woodwork, and skirting, a warm off-white or light buttermilk cream will seamlessly echo the wallpaper base and create a cohesive backdrop. If you prefer to lean into colour, selecting a soft lilac, pale apricot, or powdery cornflower blue for adjacent walls or trim will highlight specific brushstrokes within the pattern. For a slightly bolder contrast, deep navy accents or warm ochre textiles will tie into the darker strokes of the design while adding sophisticated depth.
