Wallpaper - 70's Avant Garden

Our 70's Avant Garden wallpaper by Carrie Cantwell brings a vibrant, retro-inspired floral pattern to the wall with stylized blooms packed across a soft pastel teal backdrop. Clean graphic outlines, circular flower centres, and a dense repeat give the design its bold sixties- and seventies-inspired character, layering cheerful shades of pastel pink, bright yellow, crisp white, and teal. As with all our mural wallpapers, we print this design made-to-measure on PVC-free paper with a subtle paper structure, making it straightforward to hang while adding graphic personality to your space.

In the room

We see this design working particularly well in lively, informal spaces where its energetic repeat can set an upbeat tone. In a playroom, teenage room, or home art studio, the continuous flow of graphic petals brings character to an accent wall behind a desk, craft table, or reading corner. Because the floral motifs are closely packed, the pattern carries substantial visual weight, which means it sits comfortably on a single focal wall without needing to cover the entire room. In a compact dressing room or powder room, papering all walls creates an immersive, jewel-box feel that leans into the nostalgic charm of the pattern.

Styling it

To balance the expressive geometry of the flowers, we recommend keeping surrounding furniture relatively clean-lined and uncomplicated. Simple painted furniture or mid-century shapes with soft curves complement the graphic illustration style without fighting for attention.

Textiles in solid weaves allow the dense print on the wall to remain the primary focus. Choosing plain cushions, upholstery, or curtains in neutral textures helps ground the high-energy motif and keeps the room feeling cohesive.

Colour combinations

Our wallpaper features a balanced mix of pastel pink, sunny yellow, crisp white, and rich teal set against a muted teal background. When choosing paint for adjacent walls or woodwork, pulling a soft off-white from the flower centres creates a crisp, light contrast that lets the wall mural stand out.

For a warmer, cocooning scheme, you can pair the design with a muted blush or pastel pink on surrounding trims or cabinetry. If you prefer a richer aesthetic, deep teal accents in furniture or adjacent painted surfaces echo the darker floral outlines and give the space added depth.
