Wallpaper - Haight Ashbury

Our Haight Ashbury wallpaper captures an iconic corner of San Francisco street history, photographed by Tono Balaguer. Centred on the weathered street sign pointing towards Haight and Ashbury streets, the photographic motif features a rusted traffic signal set against a pale yellow historic building with green-trimmed sash windows and a bright, clear blue sky. The composition brings together authentic urban textures with a relaxed, retro character that gives an interior genuine personality. Printed as made-to-measure mural wallpapers on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure, our design is straightforward to hang and easy to position in your room.

In the room

We see this photographic street scene working especially well as an accent wall in a living room, home office, or study. Because the street pole and signage create a strong vertical line that rises towards the open sky, the composition sits comfortably behind a low sofa or a desk without losing the defining details of the intersection. In a living space with good natural daylight, the crisp contrast between the deep sky blue and the pale yellow facade becomes particularly vivid. For a study or creative room, placing the design on a main feature wall provides an engaging urban view that grounds the entire space.

Styling it

The retro feel and clear architectural elements in the photograph pair naturally with mid-century modern furniture and vintage-inspired interior pieces. We suggest keeping nearby furnishings grounded in warm wood finishes, such as teak or medium oak, which complement the nostalgic 1960s tone of the San Francisco street scene.

To balance the visual detail of the photograph, keep surrounding patterns minimal and let simple, solid textures do the work. Upholstery in warm neutral fabrics or deep denim blue anchors the space nicely, while simple black metal accents, like a slender task lamp or minimalist shelving, echo the industrial character of the vintage street pole.

Colour combinations

The palette in our wallpaper centres on sky blue, pale buttery yellow, weathered green, and soft iron grey tones from the rusted street fittings. Around the room, we would lean into these shades by painting adjacent walls in an off-white, soft cream, or a muted warm grey that mirrors the urban architecture. If you want a slightly bolder contrast, drawing on the muted forest green from the window trims for painted woodwork, shelving, or a statement armchair ties the whole scheme together seamlessly.
