Wallpaper - Over the Rainbow

Designed by Moira Hershey, our Over the Rainbow wallpaper presents a bold, 1970s revival graphic composition built around interlocking, arching bands. Rendered in monochromatic charcoal grey and soft off-white, the curving ribbons loop across the surface with an ink-drawn, distressed visual texture that softens the sharp geometric structure. What we particularly appreciate about this mural wallpaper is how the sweeping, large-scale movement creates an immediate focal point while remaining grounded through its quiet, neutral palette. Our wallpapers are made-to-measure and completely PVC-free, with a subtle physical structure in the paper that gives every wall a refined finish.

In the room

Because of the prominent scale and fluid geometry, we see this design working exceptionally well on a main feature wall in a living room or a dedicated home office. In a living room setting, giving the pattern an uninterrupted wall behind a low-profile sofa allows the sweeping loops to be seen in their entirety without breaking the visual rhythm. In a study or workspace, placing the mural wallpaper across the wall facing the entrance creates an artistic backdrop that feels deliberate and structured.

Styling it

To let the graphic presence of the design lead the room, we suggest pairing it with furniture that features clean silhouettes and rounded contours that echo the curved motif. Low-slung seating or a curved desk complements the arching lines without competing for attention. Introducing warm, natural timbers such as walnut or stained ash helps balance the cool monochrome palette, bringing an organic depth to the surrounding space while honouring its mid-century and retro influences.

Colour combinations

The design itself balances deep charcoal grey against an off-white, creamy neutral background. When selecting paint colours for adjoining walls and woodwork, we recommend staying within this tonal family. Soft chalky whites or warm greys keep the transition subtle and cohesive, while introducing deep charcoal on skirting boards or doors can frame the wall murals cleanly and anchor the room.
